Analysis and Conclusions
While the Nexus S 4G didn’t benchmark quite exactly to our expectations, it is still the best Android experience I have had to date. Having used a lot of phones, I love the speed and fluidity that the stock Android 2.3 interface can provide. While things like HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz have nice visual elements and widgets, they cannot match the speed of a vanilla Android experience. To me, this phone has reaffirmed that Google has a clear vision for the Android platform, and it is a good one.
At this point in the phone manufacturers roadmaps’, the original Snapdragon design is being phase out for other SoC solutions such as NVIDIA’s Tegra platform, TI’s OMAP4, and even the newer Snapdragon solutions. With the lifecycle of new phones being built on the classical snapdragon platform coming to an end, the Nexus S 4G is the phone built on Google perfection to send off the single core smartphone.
I see you have the EVO 4G
I see you have the EVO 4G tested with 2.1 and 2.2. Three weeks ago Sprint/HTC released the Gingerbread update OTA. Any way to add that to the mix? From the few things I’ve read going from 2.2 to 2.3 is actually hurting the phone’s performance.
Ironically, I have been
Ironically, I have been unable to update my personal HTC EVO 4G to the 2.3 software at all for some damn reason. :/
We are always looking into
We are always looking into testing phones with the newest updates available. We are looking to do a lot with the benchmarking suite here very soon. Stay tuned!
Wow…I’m surprised at the
Wow…I’m surprised at the low Quadrant scores. On my Thunderbolt, running the stock HTC Sense ROM (Froyo, 2.2.1), I was able to get Quadrant scores in the 1750-1850 range, and that’s with a single core, 1 GHz Snapdragon. Now that I’ve rooted and updated to Cyanogenmod 7, running Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4), my Quadrant scores are up in the 2500-2700 range. The only thing in your comparison that runs that fast is the Xoom tab with 1.5 GHz processor. My battery life has also almost doubled!
Everyone states the Emperor’s
Everyone states the Emperor’s new cloths are excellent and if you ever ever before actually cant see them that your dull witted. With that in mind a game’s message boards tell you just how much they really like the especially things that drives them to invest more time on the message boards than in online game.
To raid you’ll need to grind,
To raid you’ll need to grind, to fulfill standards which are set by the raiding neighborhood if not by the game. They are well-known with those that do it for the cause that they identify with the raiding community and essentially grind to brag. That’s all and its a mind dulling decline devolving MMO gaming all for the fantasy of a camaraderie that ordinarily is only actual to get a minority who would be buddies anyway for other causes and just take place to raid collectively oftentimes.
