In addition to using the HTC EVO 3D in a variety of everyday usage scenarios, we also conducted some formal performance testing to see how well the EVO 3D compares to other smartphones.

In the Linpack test, the EVO 3D outperformed all other smartphones in our reference bank. You'll also notice since the EVO 3D sports a dual-core processor, we were able to run the multi-threaded version of this test.

The EVO 3D once again showed its strength in the An3DBench test, outperforming other smartphones we've looked at recently. This test shows that the EVO 3D really can handle graphics better than other smartphones we've seen. The An3DBench XL test didn't treat the EVO 3D quite as nice, but the smartphone still offered decent scores, particularly in the Magic Island test where it earned the top spot. Also, keep in mind that many of the comparisons on this chart are with tablets.

The EVO 3D earned a respectable score in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark.
