In this video, we benchmark the Samsung Galaxy Note II and HTC Droid DNA Android smartphones, both of which are available on Verizon Wireless, using the standard benchmarking utility known as Quadrant. The Droid DNA clearly wins that round convincingly; however, if you take a look at the benchmark results using other apps, like AnTuTu, SmartBench 2012, Vellamo HTML5/METAL, CF-Bench, the Multitouch Test and speed tests, you’ll see that the Galaxy Note II holds its own as well. These specific benchmarks aside, both handsets are well ahead of devices release earlier in the year. Check out the difference in specifications, as well as the full list of benchmark results below.
