This never works for me. S22+. It'll download the 4.xGB for the cache, run a couple vids, ask to share my screen a couple times, then crash every time. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (8 core CPU) + 8GB RAM + 128GB storage (UFS 3.1) on Android 16/OneUI 8 The VLC media player, itself, it's great. It's just this benchmarking app in particular that doesn't work for me without crashing. My phone has the hardware to handle the benchmark. The benchmark just isn't stable.
