The Samsung Galaxy S4’s 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 doubles Geekbench score of iPhone 5 and BlackBerry Z10

…and that’s the slow one.

Primate Labs, the company behind the Geekbench speed-ranking system, has compared the Galaxy S4 with all the flagship phones from various vendors including LG, HTC, Blackberry, and Apple. The Quad-core 1.9GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon 600 + 2GB of RAM seems to wipe the floor with the competition.

The scary news is that the non-LTE version of this phone uses an Octocore Samsung Exynos chip with Imagination GPU that is likely to be even faster, putting it further out in the field against the competitor’s devices.

As always, these speed tests are subjective and there are likely to be faster phones released every month or so.
