HTC One 2014 tops Basemark OS II and X benchmarks, now listed as the best gaming phone

With the rather abstract figure of 26328 points in Basemark X, the HTC One 2014 has just dethroned the previous gaming champ -- the Nokia Lumia 1520 -- and still commands a sizable lead on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Based on the Unity game engine, Basemark X attempts to simulate a real-world environment which is then used to benchmark different devices. 

The new One scored as splendidly on the Basemark OS IIwhich is a sort of an all-in-one benchmarking suite, attempting to gauge the overall performance of a device. Somewhat alike to what AnTuTu does, Basemark OS II rates overall system performance, along with memory, web, and graphics. With a score of 1071, the One 2014 got the #1 spot, and now sits within an inch of the previous record-holder, the Asus PadFone Infinity 2. As for browsing, the upcoming flagship ranked 7th.

Of course, synthetic benchmarks are only part of the story, but this sure is a good start for the new One.
