  "account": "The iPhone Duo is set to release next week on October 23, but early benchmark testing has already been leaked online. Tom's Guide will provide a comprehensive review in due time, but these early indicators suggest the Duo will outperform other foldables. The tested iPhone Duo, identified as iPhone19,4 on Geekbench, operates on iOS 27.1 and achieved a single-core score of 3,986 and a multi-core score of 11,067. These scores are comparable to the scores of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which also use the A20 Pro chipset. While this result may not surpass Apple's non-folding phones, it is not definitive. A full lab-tested benchmarking of the Duo is required for a conclusive assessment.\n\nComparing the leaked Duo results with its main foldable competitors, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra, the iPhone Duo appears to be more powerful. The leaked iPhone Duo scores 2,986 for single-core and 11,067 for multi-core, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 scored 2,978 for single-core and 9,811 for multi-core. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra scored 3,110 for single-core and 10,578 for multi-core. The leaked results indicate that the iPhone Duo could be the most powerful foldable available, at least for now. Apple's new A20 Pro chipset, featuring 12GB of RAM and 2nm processor, is designed to improve performance, efficiency, and heat dissipation. Despite its high price, the iPhone Duo's impressive benchmark results suggest it will be a powerful contender in the foldable market.",
