This Friday, we will be releasing the community preview of MobileXPRT 2015. BenchmarkXPRT Development Community members will be able to download the installation APK from the MobileXPRT tab in the Members’ Area. We are happy to say that, although we thought that MobileXPRT 2015 would only run on Android 5.0 and above, we have been able to extend its compatibility back to Android 4.4 (KitKat).
As we’ve said, the new MobileXPRT is a 64-bit application. Although it will work on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware, the code will automatically select 64-bit when available. If you want to compare 32-bit performance to 64-bit on a single device, MobileXPRT 2013 will still be available. It’s not a problem to have both versions of MobileXPRT installed at the same time, and results from the two versions of the benchmark are comparable. On the same note, remember that the UX tests are no longer available in MobileXPRT 2015, but they are available as part of MobileXPRT 2013 if you need them.
As always, the results from the community preview will be comparable to the general release.
We hope you enjoy the new MobileXPRT, and we look forward to seeing your results!
Eric
