In addition to using the HTC EVO 4G in a variety of everyday usage scenarios, we also conducted some formal performance testing to see how well the EVO 4G compares to other smartphones.

CPU Testing

Android CPU Testing - Linpack

Graphics Testing

Android Graphics Testing - An3Dbench

JavaScript Testing

JavaScript Android and iPhone testing - SunSpider

In both the Linpack CPU test and the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, the HTC EVO 4G performed exceptionally well, primarily due to its Android 2.2 update we suspect. The EVO 4G also performed acceptably in the An3DBench graphics test, coming in ahead of the HTC Incredible and Dell Streak.
