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 One X compared to some of today's hottest smartphones using the SpeedTest.net app and Rightware's Browsermark benchmark.

SpeedTest.Net Performance

Network Speeds

The HTC One X can leverage AT&T's LTE network in the few areas that offer coverage with excellent results. We witnessed download speeds on the 33Mb/s range with uploads hovering around 13.8Mb/s. AT&T doesn't offer LTE in nearly as many markets as Verizon, but when it works, it works very well. When not in an LTE coverage area, the HTC One X's support for AT&T's pseudo-4G HSPA+ network also resulted in very good relative performance.

Rightware Browsermark

Web Browsing Performance

In the Rightware Browsermark benchmark, which evaluates the web browsing / browser performance of a device, the HTC One X offered the best score we have seen from a stock device. Web browsing on this phone is excellent.

Marco Chiappetta

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
