Before we jump to any conclusions, let’s lay out a few details on the test just so you get a bit of perspective: The benchmark demo was done during Microsoft’s MIX11 developer conference, and Windows Phone program director Joe Belfiore used the HTML5 speed reading demo from Microsoft’s own ietestdrive site. We also don’t know what OS/browser versions the other two phones were running (which is significant since Apple’s latest mobile browser comes with a lot of new optimizations), so the test can’t really be considered unbiased. But still, the demo showed an impressive performance by the HTC-built, Windows phone loaded with the Mango update. The Windows Phone ran the demo at 20 frames per second, the Android-based Samsung Nexus S came in at second place with 11fps, and the iPhone 4 came in last at 2fps. Check out the video of the Windows Phone spanking the iPhone 4 and Nexus S after the break.
