Video: Speed Comparison – Nokia Lumia 800 vs Samsung Omnia 7

Here’s a video looking at one of the first gen Windows Phones against the Nokia Lumia 800. You will note that with updated hardware, the Lumia 800 is faster and smoother.

Windows Phone has been noted particularly for its speed on ‘just’ single core. A little bit like Symbian Belle on 701 or N9 right? It’s not power hungry like certain other OSes that like to brag about dual core.

Something known to most WP users is that despite the similarities in core hardware, some WPs are faster than others. There may be better optimisation or they may be use of actual flash memory instead of a memory card to install apps on (making loading faster). From 7, to Nodo there were already marked improvements in speed, even further in Mango.

When you have two phones on Mango, the improved hardware helps push the experience a bit further – things are much snappier, you get more frames so the visuals are smoother.
