HTC Desire: Android – Froyo vs Eclair Benchmark

Last month I benchmarked my HTC Desire running android 2.1 Eclair to compare it with upcoming Android 2.2 Froyo release. As promised, HTC released Froyo update for HTC Desire on 1st August 2010. I’ve been using it for around 5 days now and I’ve noticed significant improvement. Phone is much more responsive and fast. I’ve done quick benchmark to compare Eclair with new Froyo update.

First of all BenchmarkPi, on Froyo it calculates Pi in 1132 ms as compared to 2833 ms of Eclair, so Froyo is 2.5 times Faster.

Now in this benchmark app, on Eclair score was 700.61127 on Froyo score is 2297.3782 so Froyo is 3.279 times faster.

There was not much difference in Graphics performance.

There is small improvement in Memory benchmark.

I’ve also notice very much improvement in camera performance, 720p video recording is good but frame rate is a bit slow, browsing experience is much better, flash 10.1 works great. Overall this update is well worth it.

May i know which country you are in? I’m from Singapore, but there is no update yet.

I wasn’t aware that Pi could be calculated? That it is a transcendental number; meaning, that it goes on forever.
So I’m quite impressed that my phone is able to calculate an infinitely long number, considering that a Japanese team has only recently managed to calculate Pi to 5 trillion places…

@Wee Nghee, I’m in Pakistan. I got update as soon it was released.

@Anamnesia, I’m sure you’ll not calculate pi to infinite places on a mobile device. By the way your question is answered here about this benchmark software.
