The first tests HTC One V

One HTC V , the most affordable smartphone new line of Taiwanese companies are gradually supplied to customers. Despite all its accessibility, filling the device has more than a modern and excellent job with both Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a proprietary interface Sense 4.0, and with high quality modern games. Not bad, it shows itself in tests that can be estimated from this article.

To begin with we describe the technical characteristics of the HTC One V, which may affect the test results smartphone benchmarks. The heart device is a series of single-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 with a frequency of 1 GHz and accelerator Adreno 205 inside. Such a chip has been used in several Android-smartphones: HTC Desire HD, Desire S, Incredible S and others. The display resolution is 800 x 480 resolution, which is also the standard rate for middle-class devices.

To test the HTC One V NotebookNews guys have chosen the following packages: Quadrant, Vellamo, SunSpider, AnTutu Benchmark, NenaMark1 and NenaMark2. As you can see, quite a collection of classic, and the results of the device is easy to compare with any existing smartphone now. In Quadrant smartphone has received 1980 points , which is much greater than the results of the same Desire S with stock firmware. Apparently gains achieved through the Android 4.0 ICS in One V. By the way, the results only slightly inferior to the smartphone Galaxy Nexus dual-core TI OMAP 4460 inside.

More HTC One V checked in Vellamo , corporate benchmark the company Qualcomm. Surely it is optimized for processors of this company, but its results can be relied upon for comparison with other smartphones. The results of new items available in this set of tests were 1165 points . Despite the fact that SunSpider is already included in Vellamo, testers launched a popular test for speed of processing JavaScript and separately. All tests have been performed for the One V 3325.2 ms . Decent rate, which has influenced a new browser and Android.

AnTutu Benchmark - a great package for testing Android-smartphone, which has already gained popularity at the Quadrant, though younger thereof. In the test of AnTutu brand new HTC One V has 2544 points . The result is not so hot as even slightly below the Samsung Galaxy S. Yet the latter is more powerful accelerator.

Finally, recent tests in One V NenaMark1 and NenaMark2. In the first benchmark, Jr. One result showed 53.5 frames per second , and the second 28.08 frames per second . It is quite adequate results for the Adreno 205 and NenaMark more precisely evaluate the accelerator.

As you can see, HTC and Qualcomm have been better to optimize both system and drivers for the chip Snapdragon. Effect that the processor is not the youngest, and the producer of it squeezes out the maximum power does not disperse. By the way, on your phone without any problems is well-known Shadowgun. Remember that HTC One V other than those described above specifications can also boast a metal body and a very recognizable form of high-quality 5 megapixel camera.

[HTC One X] Video Stress Test body and glass

Once HTC has officially announced that the building's flagship smartphone HTC One X company will be made ​​not of metal, and made ​​of polycarbonate with fans of the brand had many questions at the expense of strength and stability of the housing unit to mechanical damage. With this in mind, managers at the launch in Singapore have created a test stand, which showed that polycarbonate is better than metal .

Thus, the test stand at the launch in Singapore One line was very simple and consisted of a transparent drum fixed parallel to the ground . This drum is constantly rotated, but inside it was enabled HTC One X. According filmed all the time while he was on the stand, the smartphone spun the drum and worked on the case of visible damage seen. Such a test well shows that the modern plastic in some ways even better than metal. By the way, if the damage is still opaque plastic will scratch, it will be much less noticeable than the same scratches on the metal and it's not an assumption, and experience. Incidentally, it is possible to make use of the plastic casing HTC One X intact, with the only removable part - slides for the SIM-card.

A special strength is not only a polycarbonate shell HTC One X, but the glass covering the screen and touch keys. It is made ​​by Gorilla Glass technology of second generation and just as easily stood the test of the drum. Display size is under the glass is 4.7 inches, and its resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels. The heart is the flagship quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 . The smartphone is set to 1 GB of RAM and a 32GB unit for recording data, 25 GB of this amount is available to the user. It should be noted, and 8 megapixel camera HTC One X. Powered by Smartphone Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with a proprietary hull Sense 4.0 on top of it. 

HTC One S flagship faster One X

Despite the fact that each of the new series of smartphones One is an ultimatum, among them is still the flagship release. After an ultimatum of each device is defined only in terms of different target audiences. HTC X One is clearly the flagship of the series, but One S smartphone called the middle segment is very difficult.

In design and appearance, he even has some advantage over the leader. But what would be the results if you compare what is a smartphone, "under the hood" ?

Recall characteristics of smartphones that somehow affect the performance. HTC One X has a display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 (720p) and a diagonal of 4.7 inches. Inside the flagship quad set (4-PLUS-1) processor NVidia Tegra 3 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz and accelerator. Display size HTC One S is 4.3 inches, and resolution - 960 x 540 (qHD). The smartphone is set to dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260A with a frequency of 1.5 GHz and accelerator Adreno 225. The amount of RAM in each of the devices - 1 GB.

Our French colleagues managed not only to twist in the hands of HTC One X, and run it several popular tests. Of course, the first smartphone to run a credible Quadrant. One X easily passed all the tests and received as a result of 4560 points. Other tests showed slightly better results, so that we can say that HTC One X in Quadrant receives from 4500 to 4750 points . Next Smartphone tested in the measuring speed of the processor with floating point benchmark Linpack. One X It showed about 62 in a single-mode MLOPS and 112 MLOPS in operation in several streams. MFLOPS - million floating-point (point) in the second. The next set of tests was young, but already gained popularity AnTutu Benchmark. It has HTC One X 10 112 points, a stunning result. Finally, the completed test Newmark2, where the Tegra 3 in One X showed 52 frames per second .

Unfortunately, HTC One S test on such a wide range of benchmarks was not possible. While we can say that with the Quadrant subflagman copes well without any problems and it gets 4828 points . It is also known that in the instance of the exhibition Newmark2 showed 60.6 frames per second . We must publish detailed test of the device as soon as it comes out.

As you can see in all the tests that have been passed by both devices, HTC One S dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 slightly ahead of the flagship smartphone with quad-core monster inside . Of course, it is necessary to take into account that different smartphone display resolution, which clearly affect the outcome, and the software can be optimized in different ways. We can only say that the performance of chips is very similar, despite the difference in the number of nuclei.

PS: it will be interesting to see tests HTC One XL, the operator version of its flagship smartphone with a new dual-core Qualcomm Tegra instead of 3.
