While Basemark OS II and GFXBench function as power virus tests, I wanted to get a good idea of performance somewhere between these rather extreme tests and the mostly display-bound web browsing test. For reference, the One M8 manages to keep the active CPUs at around 1.5 GHz throughout the test. One might be able to argue that the A57s provide more performance, but simple logging shows that past the first 20 minutes the A57 cluster is either shut down or throttled to the minimum clock state, although the A53 cluster manages to stay at 1.56 GHz for the duration of the test. In the Basemark OS II test, we can see that the One M9 seems to perform poorly. The end performance actually ends up being quite similar to the One M8, but performance during the test is much higher than what we saw on the One M8.

The new update produced acceptable skin temperatures, but frame rate drops rather dramatically as skin temperature rises. We didn’t have the modified test to present for a comparison between the two software builds, but we can get a pretty good sense for the changes that have occurred for final shipping software.Īs one can see, the One M9 delivered somewhat impressive sustained performance with the pre-release build, but this resulted in almost dangerous skin temperatures and poor battery life on the order of 1.73 hours. For our GPU tests, we use GFXBench 3.0’s sustained GPU test, which runs the T-Rex benchmark on the display at its native resolution for an infinite rundown test.
Battery Life ContinuedĪs previously detailed, our sustained battery life tests either strongly stress the CPU or GPU. Instead, we’ll start with sustained battery life tests. Normally, we’d start by discussing the design of the phone, but much of the review has already been finished with part one.

I’ve finally finished redoing our testing of the One M9, so we can finish the review and get the full picture of the One M9’s performance. Unfortunately, due to HTC’s last minute software changes there was a need to redo some of our testing as the changes were quite significant for some key aspects of the user experience, which were effectively any situation where the SoC was in a thermally throttled situation and overall camera performance.
A good amount of time ago, we posted part one of our HTC One M9 review, which gave a good idea of some critical aspects of the One M9’s performance and design.
