The Adreno 205 is already pretty old, you can get one in the xperia play which costs about $400 if you know where to look, 512mb RAM is also painfully little.

These specs aren’t the least bit impressive, the Adreno 200 which is in all Windows Phone 7 devices that are out right now has been used in Windows Mobile 6.5 devices while the Adreno 205 has been around since 2009.

At best the specs are average though really I’d imagine the Adreno 205 can possibly compete with the SGX 535 which is what the iPhone4 uses, the original Galaxy S has an SGX540, the Evo 3D has an Adreno 220.

Sorry I meant mediocre, average makes it sound better than it really is.

I guess I would agree. But then again if you think about it, Infinity Blade (the GORGEOUS, console-quality game) was developed for iPhone 4 so your statement on how the SGX 535 is similar to the Adreno 205 isn’t really a negative.

I honestly do feel that when it comes to XBL games a lot of developers are half assing it. Theres quite a bit of the GPU to work with especially when the 205 is added. They just need more incentive to make high quality exclusive games for WP7.

adreno 200, and wp7 still runs games faster and smoother than android

Monkey D Black

while I agree with you, I don’t think that’s the point. the adreno 200 is old, the 205 the now mainstream which is about to be old later this year, because all new highend android devices are getting the 220 gpu core. it’s seems windows phones are going to be 1 generation behind for at least a year and a half.

again WP7 running better than android even on older cores is not the point, we should be getting current highend cores too. it seems OEMs can’t stop using basement parts for windows phones. it seems they still put windows phones as the side job.

How is that not the point? At the end of the day, who cares how many cores your phone has? You only care if you can pull up maps quickly and call the restaurant you are trying to get to.

Monkey D Black

so your point is as long as it works it’s fine, you don’t care for it to work better or to be future proof for at least a generation. hmm, I hear you.
Anonymous

Yep. It needs to work today, and tomorrow. MS has given me no reason to think that my focus will be outdated when I want to upgrade in another year. They’ve proven that Mango will be faster and smoother, even on older tech. Specs is only one half of the game. As long as each WP update is stable and usable on my device, I could care less what processor specs it has.

Marketplace certification limit for WP7 apps RAM usage is 90 MB. So no app can use more and 90 % of apps use much less (usually around 30 – 40 MB). If this won’t change, more than a 512 MB RAM simply makes no sense for WP device.

To be honest, more memory is sometimes needed. For example 90 MB is just too little for video editing. It’s practically impossible to implement a serious video editing app with this constraint. I don’t know what MS is thinking… But this limit may change, of course.

Markus

Not true.
“An application must not exceed 90 MB of RAM usage, except on devices that have more than 256 MB of memory.”

You can’t be serious? No serious film maker would use a phone for video editing, let alone taking video.

Dual core drainage?

……..dual core saves battery life……

for a PC that may be true. I’ve yet to see that become a fact for phones, sorry.

i keep reading the camera has 13 mp, is it true? i thought snapdragon can only support up to 12

http://twitter.com/oslicek David Petrla

Probably true: http://www.au.kddi.com/pr/windowsphone/products.html

Wintastic

This phone packs a serious punch despite an average processor:

* Oodles of Eye-candy… literally! plus waterproof gimicks
* Ample storage – 32 GB
* Amazing 13MP camera and
* Most important of all – unparalleled east-asian Typography!!

I say this phone is likely going to do very well… as good, if not better as any mainstream Android phone.

You seem to know the Japanese market a little: How much of a problem do you thin is the missing NFC support? I ask this cause I heard this is pretty big in japan.

Anonymous

Suice card support is a must… I can’t belive they drop it… they will lose plenty of customers cuz that… however, the iPhone isn’t in a better position, neither android… android just released an app for that, so they can’t get the hype yet. That’s one of the reasons japanese keeps using “old phones” instead of Android or iPhone…. the phones are cool but not convinient ones…. they could have start a trend in japan with NFC and Suica Card Support.

Actually Android and iOS phones appear to be killing it in Japan (close to 90% of the market between them):

But you should wonder why the country of “advanced phones” doesn’t leads the Android&iPhone revolution… the Japanese market is “younger” than in USA and Europe because there is some features of “old phones” that didn’t carry on to the new ones.

I’m not saying that this is a deal breaker for WP7 to succeed in Japan, but it would have been a killing point…. understand how the market you want to enter works, what are the things that Japanese users care the most, and try to place them at the front of the process is what gives you an edge over competition in Japan.

As long as it can record 720p video without crapping itself like the current generation devices. I mean, choking on even 24fps … unimpressive. I saw that SonyEricsson had to use a special algorithm do dynamically drop quality to achieve 24fps on the same cpu as the current generation wp7. Wp7 of course chose to make the entire video choppy instead. Brilliant.

http://twitter.com/oslicek David Petrla

I don’t think Omnia 7 records choppy 720p video. In fact, it’s better than 720p or 1080p from my Samsung compact camera. But of course, some phones may do better, I don’t know.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Milad-Bazzaz/100000479683479 Milad Bazzaz

Impressive specs? lol.

I guess 32 GB is the only thing that is impressive.
I couldn’t care less about the mega pixels of the camera…although I agree that a lot of people do so 13.2 is pretty good…RAM, CPU, etc. are underwhelming. We are about to hit 2012…this could have been a 2009 high-end device.

Lulz

Indeed, and besides, megapixels are useless without the sensor size and optics to back it up. Nokia N8 had a 12 MP resolution but also had a bigger than average sensor and carl zeiss optics. I’ll be impressed when we have DSLR sensors …
Anonymous

Like Lulz metaphor, cores and speed are useless without an OS that is tuned and optimized. I know way too many people who can no longer stand the constant freezing and reboots on Android. The last time I had to turn off my WP7 was to install Mango. Specs only matter when your OS always seems to slow down.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Milad-Bazzaz/100000479683479 Milad Bazzaz

I have also said it a billion times and I will repeat…

dualcore isn’t needed but a bonus. It doesn’t really cut your battery life, nor is it going to have any other negative impact. It would be nice if we would have a cushion for the next updates…at some point WP7 has to support dualcore and if you get an update, well it sucks if your phone can’t use the extra benefits like better gaming, faster browsing, much better video recording / playback etc.

Your might not even get an update then because your device can’t handle the new OS or because 512 MB RAM isn’t going to cut it…so to say dualcore or higher specs is not needed is a pretty ignorant and lame statement. People can’t usually afford to refresh their hardware every 6 months or one year…most people are going to use their phones around 2 years…and in one year, this device is terribly out-dated.

Also the goal is to be BETTER than the competition, isn’t it? In this case its not even about being better but being the same.

http://twitter.com/oslicek David Petrla

No, it’s not terribly outdated in one year, it’s a pure nonsense. My Samsung Omnia 7 IS NOT outdated today, far from it. But on the other hand, your’re right that these specs are not stellar (except for a camera).

All leaked devices so far have MSM8655, so it seems to be a new Mango standard and the history repeats itself – WP seems to be constantly one year behind from the HW point of view, which is unfortunate.
Anonymous

The whole point is that WP7 gets its performance from solid coding and optimization. Microsoft is the king of backwards compatibility. Mango is FASTER than NoDo on my Samsung Focus, which according to you should be obsolete by now. The only people that care about specs is us nerds. At the end of the day it is all about the usability.

Guest

It would be hard to argue that WP7 is any more optimized than iOS, yet Apple appears to be finding reasons for top notch CPUs and GPUs.

“Microsoft is the king of backwards compatibility.” – we are talking about WP7 here, you no, the mobile OS that isn’t backwards compatible with Microsoft’s other mobile OS.

If all you guys want is the latest and greatest specs (without any OS optimisation) why not go with android? No one is able to show a quantifiable benefit to all those high specs apart from bragging rights and a few extra fps. Speedwise current WP7 devices are on par with their dual core toting androids and set to get speedier with Mango. The new CPU and 205 GPU will make the newer handsets probably faster than the equiv androids. But if all you want is to show off your benchark scores then I guess you are right, and this phone and OS arent for you.

I don’t need the latest and greatest. But a lot of people do, and they will look at specs. It is shameful for 2nd generation WP7 devices to not at least have a front facing camera, and 1GB of RAM. I’m worried about the success of the platform. Microsoft is fighting from behind, way behind. If they don’t pull their head out of their butt, and get with it, then they’ve already lost.

You can’t compete with two entrenched platforms when your product is 2 years late, and you’re moving slower than every one else. Consumers do pay attention to specs, and a lot of them make a purchase based on specs, as well as design.

By the way, can this site please stop deleting my posts.

Microsoft doesn’t build the hardware. They can’t force hardware makers to put in features that their customers (i.e. the carriers) aren’t asking for.
DevStar

I don’t care about RAM. If 512MB RAM runs fine, which it does, I’m happy. Dual core is the same way.

BUT the lack of a FF camera is a problem. That means actual end user functionality is not possible (video calls). Not a deal breaker, but moves me from super excited to just reasonably excited.

Specs do the talks. Even iPhone users are looking forward to dual cores and faster GPUs. Is always a welcome to have higher processing power, right?

“Even iPhone users are looking forward to dual cores and faster GPUs.”

And games that will take advantage of that hardware.

It looks more like toy phones than real business phones…. Perhaps Japanese like these styles? The Metro UI does not fit the phone chassis at all.

I can see nothing positive, except the 32GB storage.
WP7 hardware is one or two years late.

“we all know Windows Phone 7 does not need that dual core”

Shut up. Please, just stop. I die a little inside every time I hear that when commented on the next generation of WP7. And God forbid, I think they’re actually listening to you.

Specs DO COUNT. Perhaps a snapdragon dual core CPU won’t run much better than the single core when Mango devices come out, and if that’s the case then Microsoft has failed in that regard. This is the company that created DirectX, something that takes advantage of even the latest hardware, to say “specs don’t matter” is ignorant, in fact, it’s what you would say to a senior citizen buying some technology and wants to save a little money and won’t notice any speed difference because of their untrained eyes.

I want what’s in the HTC Sensation, dual-core snapdragon! Anything less and they can kiss my ass because I am not paying a premium for last-year’s hardware. They have MONTHS to get that down, it’s September when it comes out, right? That’s 4 whole months after the first dual core snapdragon phone comes out, and almost a year since Qualcomm released the damn things to the OEMs.
If the phone is prepaid and cheap, then fine, release the low-end! But I’m not in the market for that right now and neither are you! And don’t forget, raising the bar will only lower the price of the last-generation phones.

The American market is all about the highest-end phones, the phones that succeed the most are the ones that don’t hold back on anything! The HTC Sensation, Droid 3, iPhone, Atrix are all examples of phones that don’t hold back. And notice, they are the most desirable and best selling phones.

When I hear “we all know Windows Phone 7 does not need that dual core” I’m hearing “I don’t need 3x the power or console-quality graphics in a phone!”. Every year the new crop of phones puts last year’s phones to shame. It would be pathetic to see Microsoft setting a lower standard to save OEMs money, even Apple is better than that, and they make all the profit!

I predict what will happen is, HTC, Samsung, LG and others will come out with last-generation spec’d WP7 phones, while Nokia will come in guns blazing with some high-end masterpiece. They have to, this will be their flagship phone and it’s do or die for them. Soon after the others will follow.

So please, quit the ignorance. You WANT Dual-core, quad core, 22nm chips! They’ve already been proven to work efficiently, they don’t explode or self-destruct, there’s nothing wrong with them and Microsoft doesn’t need to prove a point by using out-dated hardware to say “Hey look at how well our software runs compared to yours on this last-generation hardware!” That’s like coming in 3rd place in a horse race with a pony and saying that’s a miracle because a pony was used and not a fully grown thoroughbred horse. There are already the 2010 phones that are living proof of this. So please Microsoft and OEMs, take the gloves off and aim to win. Qualcomm has an impressive SoC, and for the first time ever theirs rank higher than all the others. Just about everything is going right for Microsoft this time, they actually picked the right chip maker (Qualcomm), the right OEM (Nokia), and they seem to be on good terms with all the major cell phone carriers in the US. Advertising be damned, everything looks pretty good from here, but it doesn’t help if the fanboys try and root for a weaker strategy thank you very much. The more higher-spec’d phones the better, bring them on!

On another note, The Droid 3 is just about the best designed qwerty keyboard phone out there, I think it’s the new benchmark Nokia has to set right now. Their e7 and N950, although beautiful devices, fall short from Motorola’s qwerty offering.

First, disregarding the internal specs, the Droid 3 is thinner, only 6 grams heavier than the e7, comes with a larger removable battery and comes equipped with a 5-row keyboard, all of which the e7 lacks.

Arguably I think the droid 3 offers a far superior design to Nokia’s E7. So if Nokia really wants to WOW us in October, they’re going to have to beat Motorola in design, that’s Nokia’s specialty afterall. And if they are to do that, they should at least beat them in thickness, looks are not always everything and Nokia knows this, they would be foolish to abandon functionality and design for good looks.
