The Evolve X is powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor, paired with 6GB of RAM. The Evolve in comparison makes do with the Snapdragon 450 processor and 4GB of RAM. In our limited time with the Evolve X, it performed quite admirably, with smooth animations and minimal app load times. The Evolve however was another story altogether. We experienced stutters while navigating around the UI and the phone froze on us twice during our hands-on period. A definitive assessment of the performance will have to wait till our full review, when we can run games and synthetic benchmarks on both phones.
Both smartphones have 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card, as well as a 4,000mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. The company promises a standby time of 21 days, 24 hours 4G talk time, and 45 hours music playback. We will have to wait and see whether these numbers actually translate to the real-world.
