Android 2.2 FroYo Offers Huge Performance Gains: Performance Analysis

[news 28]

It has been claimed that Android 2.2 (FroYo) offers significant performance

increases over previous iterations of the mobile operating system and one

of the devices that could benefit greatly is Dell's Streak tablet. Recently

Dell released an Android 2.2 update for the Streak and it provided a good

opportunity to look at the performance benefits of upgrading from Android

1.6, the Streak's initial release version, to Android 2.2. The Streak is a

good case study due to its rather mainstream hardware feature set that

consists of a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. The performance analysis shown

here offers that there are significant gains to be had virtually across the

board from standard compute performance, to Javascript execution and 3D

gaming.

 

More details in the benchmark numbers lie ahead...
