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.
