Since the upgrade to 4.4.2, My benchmark score have taken quite a big drop :/
Anyone else have this issue?

Everyone does. Basically, less 'cheating' is being done now by the phones. The scores on 4.4.2 are real scores without forced overclocking and such.

Or at least that is my understanding of it all. So no reason to worry.

I always thought this phone would score a fair bit higher than the S4 :(
I should mention that I'm not rooted, just on stock.

Also there is a listing for the LG G2 that is a lot higher :/

See attached picture.

Still love this phone regardless :)

That could be a G2 that is on 4.2.2 or is overclocked, so don't read into that.

Samsung were called out for 'cheating' in benchmarks. Their phones automatically overclocked beyond the normal customer accessible levels basically when a test was run, to give the fake impression they were super powerful. So now manufacturers are stopping their cheating.

Is there a link for the 16gb version 4.2.2 firmware? I can only find 4.4.2 :/
Many thanks for your help :)
