The device topped the BenchmarkPi test (for processing power), seeing of competition from quad core rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. The results were the same with the Nenamark 2 (for GPU) and, finally, the T model scored only marginally below the Xperia V (not to be sold in the UK) in the Quadrant overall test.
