I have both of these lying around and was wondering which one is better in terms of processing power? i recently purchased a desire 520 ( which basically has the same specs as the 310 with 512mb ram) and i'm dissapointed in the camera qaulity. It's pretty horrific when compared to the nokia or even my old galaxy s1. The camera doesn't even have auto focus..
Please let me know which has the better processor so it can make my decision easier to pick one to use as my daily phone.
thanks
I think that the processing power is not as important as you think. The operating systems are completely different. The question is that which one do you prefer (WP or Android)? I'm using a Nokia 520 and I find it the perfect companion for my everyday needs. But the Store has less apps than the Google Play.
Personally...
I had the opportunity to use that two devices (Lumia 520 & Desire 310) an personally, I prefer the Lumia 520 and WP8.1 because they have better performance and are most stable... (Personally)
Sorry for my bad english! Happy New Year!

Hi all,
I wonder at buying a WP7 phone and have these two devices on mind. HTC Radar is twice as expensive as the second. But I saw the WP Bench benchmark that showed that Radar is about 35% more powerful, it scored above 80pts vs Mozart's 60pts. At this time it does not matter, but in few months for sure there will be more requiring games and applications which Mozart wolud not handle with. But this is only my opinion. Radar also has a larger battery that lasts I think a day longer without charging. I don't know what phones will be avaliable next year so I'm undecided whether I should buy Radar and use it longer or Mozart and wait for some newer phones.
Thanks for answering
If you don't want to wait for a newer phone (a.k.a one of the Nokia Lumia series), then the radar is a good choice. It is faster than the Mozart like you said and will open and run apps a bit faster. Radar does have better graphics (adreno 200 in Mozart vs adreno 205 in Radar). Mozart has 64mb more ram, but that isn't too much a difference.
However, if you like photography, I think the Mozart's camera may be a bit better with more megapixels (although doesn't necessarily mean better) and xenon flash. The xenon flash is better than the Radar's LED for low light shots.
I own the Radar, but never the Mozart. I personally really like the Radar; it looks fly!
Hope this helps.
I personally have the mozart and have been asking myself as well wihich phone to purchase,
I decided to go with the mozart since it has a higher camera rating and the xenon flash, not only that, for its price its one of the most affordable windows phone but not compromising the quality
I am looking to get an unlocked Windows Phone, so I need a suggestion on which one and where.
Price - around $350 USD
Form Factor - full touchscreen 4" or less
Camera - I want good camera optics. MP does not matter, just quality
Nothing else really matters (internal storage). AMOLED is nice and a FFC would be cool but not necessary.
The HTC Radar seems to be in my price range. Is this a good option? Best place to buy?
I recommend the Samsung Omnia W (known as Samsung Focus Flash in the US).
It has a faster processor than the HTC Radar.
Don't get htc hd7

The problem is the price. Only available place I am seeing is ebay for $450 USD. For that price I would just spend the extra money and get the Lumia 800. The Focus Flash I am seeing for $300 but I am assuming they are going to be locked to ATT. Easy to get them unlocked?
I wouldn't mind the Focus Flash.

Well, in that case, you should buy the HTC Radar.
My friend has the Radar and she's happy with it.
I have the Samsung Omnia7 and am preaty happy with it.
Just today I managed to get wifi data tethering working. Which I think is a nice feature to have
What's with the HTC 7 Trophy ?

I have the Trophy, and it works for me, its has no ffc, the glass isnt the most durable one i had in terms of scratch resistance, the battery lasts about two days with wifi and data connection on.. i think the teethering option might be unavailable to some updates tho, not sure on that one..
Thinking of changing my Lumia 800 to some newer windows phone , but I cannot see any other newer windows phone other than Lumia 900 and Titan II. Is there any other newer windows phone on the way? otherwise which one is better among Lumia 900 and Titan II?
cheers....
The Lumia 900 is to be honest a nice phone but lacks the charm of the slightly smaller 800 with its curved glass etc, Screen size is great @ 4.3" and displays as nicely as the 800, It is of course heavier and have noticed slight lag once in a while on main screens whilst scrolling, This never occured on the 800, I am awaiting a Titan 2 so if it turns up soon will update as to whether its as good as the lumia 900 or not, Both have FFC which I missed on the 800 and the Titan has a slightly larger screen @ 4.7" but SLCD compared to Lumias AMOLED, The 900 came pre-installed with Tango 8773 update but tbh haven't noticed much of a difference as yet, All it really boils down to is do you prefer the square sharp angular edges of the Lumia or rounded almost boring looking HTC which all look alike, Performance wise there probably wont be much difference.
Thanks and I'll also wait for Titan 2 as well. cheers...
I've upgraded at Phones4U and got free Lumia 900 black. good deal
I have and oportunity to exchange my HTC 7 Trophy for a Nokia Lumia 800 plus 45€.
I still have 13 months guarantee for my trophy, but the Nokia doesn't have any, but it is in very good shape.
My question is, should i do the exchange? Is it worth it?
The first-gen phones, like the Trophy, are currently much more hack-able. If you want to do things like custom ROMs or high-privilege apps, you should currently stick with the HTC phone (hopefully we'll have support for Nokia soon, but it hasn't happened yet).
On the other hand, the Lumia 800 is a much nicer phone in most other ways - better CPU, supports more bands and (I believe) higher data rates if available, may have more internal storage, certainly has a better camera (and a front-facing camera, nice for Skype and such). If you just want the best WP7 device, trading up to the Lumia (which is a more expensive device to begin with) and getting an extra 45 Euros is a great deal.
I am an android user, running my galaxy s2, upgraded from the galaxy s, and love the system.
I was looking at the wp7, tho mostly for the wp8 version, like the idea of cross compatibility between phone, tablet and PC. This is the one thing I give apple credit for, but since I could never go for ios, Windows is the only other real option here.
The biggest thing I've noticed with the WP7 models out there, is from a hardware side, they pale in comparison to the android models; there are no wp7 devices that have the same kind of processing power that my S2 has, and certainly nothing compared to the HTC One X, or the S3.
Can anyone answer this question? I've looked around, haven't found anything that really seems to address this disparity in processing powers between these two system; especially when they are made by many of the same manufacturers as the competing android devices.
Is it an issue with the os? Android requires more power to deliver the same performance, or are the WP7 just under powered? Even the top of the line versions like the Lumina 900 has only a single core processor, not to mention only 512mb ram, this is half the memory and processing power of my S2, which is a year old already.....
Hello
doesnt htc titan have dualcore? lumia is overpriced dont get it
Hi all,
Im thinking on buying a new phone. Currently an android user.Just send back my HTC One phone for camera repair. But now looking for a fresh new substitute. Fall in love with 1020, but 1520 offer a faster(fastest wp8) spec. But sadly why 20mp? and 1020 why dual core?hehehe...thats make my decision harder.
For your opinion, is 1020 with dual core suffice?
Thanks
The 1020 is very fast.windows doesn't need to be quad core like android.

The Main thing is really the Hardware here
Lumia 1520 comes with the latest hardware so you can be a bit sure of future updates making full use of its hardware capabilities and the bigger battery life and screen.
Lumia 1020 has the better camera as you can play with more mega pixels. easier to carry and has the battery grip for mounting on tripod.
Its really down to choice.. windows phone don't need high specs to run smoothly,
