HTC Vigor Benchmarks Leaked Showing Verizon, 1.5 Ghz dual-core, and 720p HD Display

First time we heard the name HTC Vigor was a random story about its camera taking photos but nothing suggested Android was on board but some new benchmarks paint a slightly different picture if they are to be believed. A recent leak of a NenaMark benchmark shows some jaw dropping specs to say the least. This is an HTC device with what the results are claiming to be a 1.5 Ghz dual-core Snapdragon CPU, as well as a 1280x720p HD display running on Android 2.3.4 and the Verizon Wireless network.

Simms Destroys Smartbench 2011 with Nexus S, Beats XOOM by almost 4x

Here's the thing with benchmarks - and I said I'd never talk about how they're inaccurate again, but here we are - they're inaccurate. The fact that they can be fiddled with and bugs, (like the one our own Simms22, aka the head of the Android Community forums just found below), might lead some to believe that they're useless. I say nay, and Simms22 says nay, us both on a united front of nayness like you've never heard before. That said, look at the destruction Simms22 has dug up with his magical Nexus S, the magic maker overclocked to heaven and back.

Lets talk about the raw, unbridled power inside a phone from Samsung. This update comes in the form of Update KE7. I'm speaking of course of the Galaxy S II, a device we've got on hand for massive testing of the benchmark variety. What you're about to see are a few tests done on the Samsung Galaxy S II in its completely NOT overclocked state. You'll see both Quadrant Advanced and Smartbench 2011 hitting numbers over 4000. You'll see comparisons with older tests of overclocked and non-overclocked results on this device as well as on a couple other devices. Welcome back to the Thunderdome!

Motorola DROID3 benchmarks tip qHD plus dual-core TI CPU

Benchmarks for the yet-to-be-announced Motorola DROID3 have emerged, giving us hints as to the specifications of the upcoming Android smartphone. According to the stats at Nenamark, the DROID3 uses a PowerVR SGX 540 GPU powering a qHD resolution, 960 x 540 display. The phone is also running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, or at least was at time of testing. The PowerVR GPU closes off suggestions that Motorola would use the Tegra 2 chipset for the DROID3, instead indicating that it's Texas Instrument's dual-core 1GHz OMAP4430. Meanwhile we already known that the qHD display measures in at 4-inches, and that the DROID3 has a front-facing camera. No word on launch date, but if Motorola is benchmarking the phone then that might suggest it's imminent. [via Droidlife]

It looks like that shiny new and what I'd call extremely thin powerhouse of an android phone you just bought is ready to have some fun. Yes I'm talking about that dual-core Samsung Galaxy S II we have heard plenty about recently. Some of those fancy developers at XDA we are always talking about in the android community have done it again, and already overclocked the SGS II to 1.5 Ghz and that is just the start.

Back a few weeks ago there was talk going around about the Droid X getting Android 2.3 soon, and then it got leaked. Soon after that you get people that want to test and run benchmarks and see just how big of a difference the version of Android can make. Now we have a little more confirmation on quadrant results.

Motorola Xoom overclocked to 1.5 Ghz with benchmark results [Guide]

Zoom, Zoom, Xooooom. The Motorola Xoom is quick don't get me wrong, but it just got a lot faster with the overclocking results I have to show you guys today. I went ahead and rooted with the very simple Xoom 1-Click-Root method, in that program you can also flash the latest Tiamat overclock kernel. I did that, took about 45 seconds. Now I'm cruising around at 1.504 Ghz and boy let me tell you, this thing is fast. Check out below to see what I mean.

Droid X Gingerbread gets benchmarked

There's been some benchmarks released of the Droid X running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the results are fairly impressive. The benchmarks were compaired to the previous Android 2.2 (Froyo) results. The tests feature some testing of heavy duty graphics and motion Fx in a game like atmosphere and it received a score of 1796, about a 700 point increase over the Froyo score. That's around a 30% increase in performance. It's amazing what a software update can accomplish.

HTC ThunderBolt Connection Speed Benchmarks [SlashGear]

We'll be running our own benchmarks when we get our own ThunderBolt tomorrow, but for now, let's have a look at what SlashGear's been doing all afternoon, as they got their Verizon superstar phone earlier today! The tests began with a bit of the ol' Sun Spider browser testing. What SlashGear found was that this phone, while fast on the downloads, isn't the speediest phone out there today as far as Sun Spider sees it - while the HTC ThunderBolt grabbed a 6031.9ms, the Motorola ATRIX 4G (also on Android 2.2 Froyo running with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor) handled the test at 3960.8ms - and smaller is better.
