Benchmarkers, assemble! The folks at Aurora Softworks have issued a long-awaited upgrade to Quadran Standard Edition for Android.
The user interface has been improved for Ice Cream Sandwich, not to mention overall user interface tweaks and improvements. There are also the usual bug fixes, support for other languages, and some frame rate changes. Due to it being completely new and supporting multi-core devices the results and comparison chart will need to be rebuilt. So at this time you’ll not get the full list of comparison scores as before. The developers have stated an update will follow shortly with full and past comparisons included.
The app hasn’t seen an update since June 2011, but it has finally reached version 2.0 with support for multi-core devices and Android 4.0. It also fixes a bug which reportedly slowed down frame rates on devices running the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU, meaning phones from the Nexus S to the Galaxy Nexus had poorer-than-expected results.
Just for a comparison, running on a completely stock Galaxy Nexus with the new Quadrant Advanced I scored just over 2,000 as you can see above. On the old non ICS and multi-core version the Galaxy Nexus scores around 1,700 for me (stock).
If you want to benchmark your own Android device, check out Quadrant 2.0 in the Marketplace, but don’t forget Vellamo, Linpack, CF-Bench, Smartbench 2011 and 2012 and, of course, Sunspider.
