HTC announced its new HTC One smartphone at a New York City live event on Tuesday, Feb. 19. Not only are the overall specifications impressive, the benchmarks are not half bad either. High benchmark scores mean smoothness in the user interface, graphics and online streaming and that means this phone is super fast.  

In a recent benchmark test performed on the new HTC device, the results seem too good to be true. The Quadrant Benchmark test on the HTC One's Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processer resulted in some spectacularly high numbers. The results beat most top-of-the-line devices, including tablets like Asus' Transformer Prime with its Tegra 3 processor and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 with its Tegra 2 processors. It even beat the test results of its flagship predecessor, the HTC One X. The Nexus 4, one of the most popular handsets currently on the market didn't even stand a chance with its Snapdragon 4 Pro processor.

As reported by Slashgear, the total quadrant score was 12, 417 compared to the Nexus 4, which almost hit the 5,000 mark. Looking at the individual markers of the HTC One, results showed a CPU score of 37,304, a memory score of 10,922 and an input/output (I/O) score of 10,566.

It makes sense that HTC sought to make the HTC One a beast when it comes to performance. HTC was quiet while Apple and Samsung battled it out on the mobile market. Combined, the two cell phone manufacturers have accounted for 90 percent of the U.S. smartphone market and now HTC wants to challenge that. What better way to do it than to offer consumers the best product specifications for a better mobile phone experience?
