A new Android device found its way on the benchmark NenaMark2, and it currently is #1. This is the highest score that has ever been logged for NenaMark2.
The device is running Android 4.0.3 and has a Qualcomm's 28nm Snapdragon S4 Krait MSM8960 SoC. This processor runs at 1.5GHz and the display is 1024x600 with an Adreno 225 GPU. What really catches my attention is that GPU. Wow. This GPU has an amazing 54.9 FPS. This beats the Samsung Galaxy S2, and its 46.2 FPS.

2011 was a crazy year for Android devices. It seems almost every carrier was getting new Android devices almost everyday. Many OEM's are to blame, and that includes HTC. HTC UK today publicly admitted they released to many phones in 2012, and hope to enhance software and hardware for new devices, while releasing fewer smartphones.
So 2012 is about giving our customers something special. We need to make sure we do not go so far down the line that we segment our products by launching lots of different SKUs. - HTC UK Chief Phil Roberson
