HTC HD2 vs Acer NeoTouch

Below are the famous Matrix trailer used for benchmark using Coreplayer WITHOUT acceleration.

Suprisingly the cheaper Acer Neo Touch is alot more smoother than HD2. HD have more larger screen which wont be issue since the resolution is the same. Or Perhaps HD2 rom not fully utilize yet.

Honestly this comparison tempting me Neo Touch over HD2.

Its not confirm yet it’ll support the standard realvideo or rmvb. The only interest me is the IVA (Image video accelerator) multiple file format support include real video. FYI, OMAP device famously known as slower speed but with great (lowest) battery consume, better than Intel, Samsung and Qualcomm.

Perhaps HTC is fed’up with Qualcomm, but at least we have other choice than Qualcomm nightmare.

Review – Samsung OmniaPRO

Team Gsmarena.com publish review for Samsung OmniaPro devices from Samsung.  Basically its kinda like “HTC Touch Pro” (qwerty slide) contender developed by Samsung.

“…The Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO is a very good handset overall with capabilities that can easily match the HTC Touch Pro2 class-leader. In fact the faster CPU and the AMOLED screen are quite significant improvements that one can receive by choosing the Samsung over the HTC .. -gsmarena”

Featuring ultra sensitive 3.5′ AMOLED  WVGA touchscreen with 800Mhz processor like Omnia 2. Built in with dedicated GPU for faster and smoother visual acceleration. With brighter AMOLED screen, superb video record quality and standard 3.5mm earphone jack, this would give a hit for HTC because Samsung has what we want.

(cough).. At least Samsung is listen what people need unlike HTC,
