We *have* been playing on it though, and all of this game time has produced plenty of real-world GameBench stats that allow us to finally compare the Black Shark 2 against a few other mobile giants with gaming-grade chipsets: the Huawei Mate 20 X (Kirin 980), Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos 9810) and the Apple iPhone XS Max (A12 Bionic).

Before going into additional metrics and how we can spot good/bad gaming sessions, it's a good time to dig into some of the more complex nuances in game testing — janks and frametimes. Both of these metrics are computed based on the frame timestamps that are stored in the web dashboard. These additional metrics are only available for Android devices for now.

In most scenarios, the higher the frame rate, the better the experience for the gamer. In this blog, we will look at the definition of FPS and the best methods to [retrieve frame rates](https://www.gamebench.net/solutions/gamebench-tools) for games on both Android and iOS.
