Since networks and browsing speeds are a key feature of any smartphone, we also conducted some formal speed tests to see how well the HTC EVO 4G LTE compared to some of today's hottest smartphones using the SpeedTest.net app and Rightware's BrowserMark benchmark.

Network Speeds

Because Sprint's 4G LTE network is not yet available, we weren't able to test the 4G connectivity of the EVO 4G LTE. In 3G speed tests using the Speedtest.net benchmark, the EVO 4G LTE held its own and earned a respectable, though not chart-topping, score.

Rightware Browsermark

Web Browsing Performance

The Rightware BrowserMark benchmark evaluates the web browsing and browser performance of a device. In this test, the EVO 4G LTE performed well, coming in just behind the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X.
