In addition to using the HTC One X in a variety of everyday usage scenarios, we also conducted some formal performance testing to see how well the device compared to some other smartphones.

In the Linpack test, the HTC One X outscored all of the other phones we tested in both the singe and multi-thread tests. The dual-core Qualcomm SoC powering this device offers excellent number crunching performance according to Linpack.

The An3DBench XL test shows the Adrenno 225 GPU in the HTC One X lagging a bit behind some of the other phones, but keep in mind the HTC One X has a higher screen resolution and is doing more work that the other phones. GL Benchmark tells a completely different story. In the Egypt Offscreen test, which levels the playing field by rendering off-screen at the same 1280x720 resolution on every device, the HTC One X clearly outpaces the Galaxy S II and Moto Droid Razr.

In the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, the HTC One X put up the best score we have seen from a smartphone, besting the Galaxy Nexus by a wide margin.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
