At a recently held conference, the browser of Windows Phone 7 Mango was compared with that of Samsung Google Nexus S and Apple iPhone 4. What came as a surprise that the browser of Mango updated WP7 with its HTML 5 power, emerged as a winner.

At the recently held conference of MIX 11 at Las Vegas, Microsoft arranged a preview of its mango updated version of Windows Phone 7 platform. At the same place, they have arranged for browser comparison with two best mobile phones, iPhone 4 and Nexus S.

Microsoft uses a certain technology called hardware acceleration for IE9 on the desktop. Now, the Windows Phone 7 devices use the same technology after Mango update. A browser test was conducted in HTML5 platform, and the Windows Phone 7 device resulted in 24 frames per second on an average. When a similar test was conducted on iPhone4, it only managed 2 frames per second, which is quite embarrassing. However, Android powered Nexus S put up a respectable score with 15 frames per second. However, the enthusiasts of Apple iPhones would like to defend the result of the comparison by saying that the iOS version was not the latest one and the test might have been conducted in favour of Windows Phone 7.

Similar comparison was also conducted with the desktop version of IE9 and the result was more than double at 60 frames per second. However, for the average mobile phones users, the speed of browsing those latest Windows Phone 7 devices will be more than enough.

It seems that Microsoft was eager to display the capabilities of HTML5, which was one of the most talked about aspects of the show. Microsoft has shown the efficiency of this technology to load videos, audios and interactive applications at a superbly faster rate.

Apart from that, there was another mind boggling display of speed. In the show, Microsoft displayed how fast the users can open numerous pages, including HTML5 audio and video content. In fact, it was also displayed that HTML5 can be run on the background at the same time while using other apps. This was a perfect display of multitasking.
