As we said, the 1080p display is quite an advantage here as the graphics chip has fewer pixels to output. As such it offers superior GPU performance compared to say, the Galaxy S6. The on-screen tests propel the HTC One M9 skywards since it has 1080p native screen resolution. We ran the GFX benchmark and found out that the Adreno 430 performs on par with the Galaxy S6's Mali-T760 and G Flex2's similar GPU when it comes to raw off-screen performance at 1080p resolution. HTC One M9 uses the most powerful Adreno GPU to date - the Adreno 430 - and it has an added performance edge over QHD resolution devices such as the Galaxy S6 because of its lower 1080p display resolution. Random Read, MB/sĪs you can see, the microSD read and write performance fails to impress. When it comes to random reads, the One M9 is as good as the G3 and it surely impresses on the random write operations.
Make note that the Galaxy S6 uses a new breed of internal storage dubbed UFC 2.0 and it is the undisputed champ in these tests. Our test showed that the HTC One M9 storage is quite fast, very close to Galaxy Note 4 performance on sequential read and write speeds. It may not be the fastest microSD card out there, but it's fast enough. We'll be using a very capable Transcend Premium 300x microSDHC UHS-1 Class 10 16GB. We've decided on including separate storage tests on the internal memory and on the microSD card. Unfortunately, the single-core and multi-core breakdowns of the BaseMark OS II 2.0 test came out quite uninspiring, where the One M9 scores orbit the bottom. Still - it's better than the Snapdragon 805-running Galaxy Note 4 and Nexus 6. The One M9 did well, but not as good as the G Flex2 and Galaxy S6. The BaseMark OS II 2.0 is quite a popular benchmark, which in addition to CPU, GPU and RAM, also tests web performance and internal storage speed. It still has a significant advantage over the rest of the flagships. The HTC One M9 score once again is bested only by the Galaxy S6. Next we ran the 64-bit version of AnTuTu 5, a compound benchmark that takes in consideration CPU, GPU, and memory performance as well. The One M9 turned out slightly better than its G Flex2 sibling, which had some CPU throttling failsafe. It gauges the CPU multi-core performance and the HTC One M9 did splendid, overpowered only by the new (and more powerful) Galaxy S6. Ok, so here are the actual benchmark scores.Īs usual, we kick off our benchmark spree with GeekBench 3 test. Of course, perhaps more updates will follow before the phone reaches the market. This seems to be the case after this major OTA update. On the other hand, the GPU benchmarks showed no change at all so we suspect HTC has changed the main CPU throttling policy in relation to the internal device temperature.Īs we suspected all along, the initial heating woes that the HTC One M9 experienced were only fixable through applying a more aggressive throttling policy which comes with a performance penalty. The single and multi-core CPU scores as calculated by BaseMark OS II 2.0 were slightly higher before the update, too.

Before the update it got 4020 points on GeekBench (down to 3761 after the update) and 57900 on AnTuTu (down to 51727 after the update). It took a longer time for the the One M9 to get hot, but ultimately, it still did get as hot as before.Īnother change that we did notice after the update is the measurable performance of the smartphone. We did notice a difference in regards to how hot the phone got under use.
What you would read on this page is based on the scores we got after the update. We went ahead and redid the whole benchmark session. Could it be the final firmware to fix all heating issue, we wondered. The phone received a big OTA update last week while we were in the process of preparing our review.

HTC's response to the overheating allegations has so far pointed out that the software on these pre-production units is not final. There was a performance drop when the One M9 got hot, as we confirmed by running extra benchmarks. Unfortunately, the HTC One M9 had every Snapdragon 810 issue you may have spotted online - its all-metal body quickly became unusually hot when running a game or a benchmark, or even when browsing for a while. The latest Snapdragon chipset is frequently accused of heating up excessively under load causing performance throttling. HTC One M9 isn't the first device to come with the now controversial Snapdragon 810 platform. The GPU in charge of graphics is the Adreno 430 and there is 3GB of DDR4 RAM to ease multi-tasking. HTC One M9 runs on Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 810 chip, which utilizes an octa-core processor with four Courtex-A57 cores ticking at 2.0GHz and four Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.5GHz.
