3DMark - Benchmark gaming performance

3DMark is a widely-used app geared toward benchmarking, helping users evaluate and compare the performance of their smartphone and tablet devices. Please be aware that our latest benchmark, 3DMark Solar Bay, is only compatible with very recent Android devices featuring Vulkan Ray Tracing support. 3DMark evaluates both GPU and CPU performance on your device. Beyond providing a numerical score for comparison purposes, it offers a wealth of additional features. So buckle up, grab your phone, and let's see if you've got what it takes to race ahead of the competition!

Beyond just the score:

3DMark employs data-driven narratives to enhance your understanding of your smartphone or tablet. Through its insightful charts, lists, and rankings, you can gain unparalleled insights into your device's capabilities.

• Compare your score with other scores from the same model.

• Contrast your device's performance with popular models.

• Track how your device's performance evolves with each OS update.

• Identify devices that consistently maintain high performance levels.

• Easily search, filter, and sort through lists of the latest mobile devices for quick comparisons.

Optimized benchmarking for your device:

Upon launching the app, 3DMark will suggest the most suitable benchmark for your specific device. To save storage space and reduce download times, you can select which tests to install.

Engage in 3DMark Solar Bay to assess the performance of cutting-edge Android devices supporting real-time ray tracing for gaming. Ray tracing is a groundbreaking technology in Android games enhancing lighting realism.

3DMark Solar Bay represents our latest and most challenging test for compatible Android devices. It consists of three segments with incremental ray tracing workloads, allowing you to gauge how enabling ray tracing impacts your device's gaming prowess.

Participate in 3DMark Wild Life to contrast newer Android devices from a range of manufacturers against the latest iPhone and iPad models.

For the future-proof Android devices, there's 3DMark Wild Life Extreme - a demanding benchmark setting high standards that some current phones may struggle to meet due to its intensity.

Both 3DMark Solar Bay, Wild Life, and Wild Life Extreme offer quick benchmarks for instant performance assessment as well as longer stress tests to evaluate sustained heavy load performance.

Use Sling Shot or Sling Shot Extreme to compare mid-range Android devices against older iOS models effortlessly.

Making informed smartphone choices:

With access to performance data on thousands of devices within the app, it's simple to identify and compare top smartphones and tablets using 3DMark. Employ the in-app rankings feature to easily search, filter, and sort through the latest Android and iOS devices.

How to use the 3DMark Android app

My tests screen

Choose and install your tests

There are several benchmark tests in 3DMark. Each one is designed for a specific class of device.

The recommended benchmark for your device appears first. Swipe left to see other tests. Your device may not be compatible with some tests. It may also be too powerful for older tests.

To save storage space and minimize download times, you can choose which tests you want to install. 

Tests that are not installed have a monochrome image. To install a test, tap the orange download icon. After a test is installed, its image is shown in full color.

You can uninstall individual tests on the Settings screen. You won't lose your scores if you later decide to uninstall a test to free up some storage space.

Run your tests

Tap the orange run icon to start benchmarking.

Some benchmarks have multiple versions. For example, Sling Shot Extreme has an OpenGL ES 3.1 version and a Vulkan version. Unlimited versions run off-screen.

You can choose which version to run by tapping the icon on the left of the screen. Select a test, then start your benchmark run by tapping Run on this screen.

My results screen

This screen in the 3DMark Android app lists all of your benchmark results from your device. Tap on a result card to open it and see the detailed result view.

Tutorial

After opening 3DMark on your device for the first time, a short tutorial will explain the four main parts of the app. 

You can skip the tutorial by pressing Skip in the upper-right corner of the screen. You can open the tutorial again from the Settings screen.

Sharing your results

3DMark makes it easy to save and share your results, comparisons, charts, and many of the other screens in the app. Whenever you see the share icon, tap it to share an image of the current card.

System Requirements:

• For Solar Bay benchmarks, your device must run Android 12 or above, have 4GB RAM or more, and Vulkan 1.1 ray query support.

• Wild Life benchmarks necessitate Android 10 or later and 3 GB RAM or higher.

• Other benchmarks require Android 5 or later.
