Hardware: Android Device
Software: Android OS 7.0+, TcpGPS for Android 2.1+
Objective
This document is purely indicative and pretends to guide the user so it may choose a mobile device compatible with TcpGPS, with details about performance depending on number of points or the size of the drawing used.
Details
The table in next page shows the following data:
Model and Brand of multiple devices with different performance per device.
Device Performance Rank based on the Android 2D Graphics Mark Rating https://www.androidbenchmark.net/g2dmark_chart.html at the update date of this document.
Project Load Time when entering the Surveying option, in seconds. We consider Small a drawing weighting 1 Mb and a Large one with 10 Mb, containing only polylines in both cases.
Rendering Time for point clouds, considering Small a file of 1.600 points and a Large one a file with 10.200 points.
Brand and Device Model | Performance Rating | Load Time | Rendering Time | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Small | Large | Small | Large | ||
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE G5 (SM-T736B) | 28,6 | 07” | 39” | <1” | 2” |
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (SM-T719) | 12,3 | 18” | 1’57” | 1” | 4” |
Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 (SM-T395) | 9,8 | 19” | 2’13” | 1” | 8” |
To rate the results in the table we have used the following color-coded rating:
Rating | Load Time | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
Excellent | <15” | <1” |
Standard | <40” | <3” |
Minimum | <1’ | <5” |
Below Minimum | >1’ | >5” |
To sum up, if the intent is to use files similar as the ones considered small by our team, all three models would be acceptable, but if there’s a need to use larger files, only the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE G5 would have an acceptable performance.
