Windows Phone, a new entry into the market. Mango (beta version 2 is used in this video), it's first major update. Android, trying to be the 'iPhone killer' for 3 years or more. Gingerbread, it's 5 major update (excluding the first version). Android 2.3.2 to be precise, with Sony Ericcson's custom skin on it. A face-off, who'll win find out after the video.
It’s a silent video, play your own music if you feel like.
As you can see, despite the Xperia Neo having a newer processor and a much more matured (read: iterated) Operating system, not to mention market ready software (it's launched) it consistently got beaten by the HTC Trophy, running mango, beta version 2 to be specific.
The benchmark results were fairly even, with the HTC trophy equaling the android handset. Please note that the Xperia Neo is powered by a second generation Qualcomm 8255 SD processor, whereas the HTC Trophy is powered by a first generation processor. The IE9 browser consistently out-performed the Android browser in every-field. The HTML5 tests gave better results in IE9 and also pinch-zooming and scrolling were much smoother. The hardware acceleration and so is the desktop version’s code in the new IE is more prominent . Whether flash might have tipped the scales to the Windows Phone side can be argued.
If yesteryear's handset can beat a more advanced android handset, imagine what a second generation handset might be capable of doing to those ‘super-phones’.
