Friends, it’s time to do some crowdsourcing.
You know that here at Unity we test and buy lots of Android devices to ensure Unity Android works properly on. However some devices are specific for certain countries, markets, operators, etc. So sometimes we’re unable to get them, and I am asking for your input here.
Please look through the list below and add the missing devices you’re sure Unity Android works on.
ARMv7 devices
Regular HTC Desire, OS 2.2 and newer works too, I would assume even OS 2.1 and newer as it is hardware wise equal to the HTC Desire HD (-> ahead of Desire Z)
HTC Desires hardware is not the same as HD to my knowledge, if that was the case our game wouldn’t lag on Desire and run smoothly on HD.
It does work though.
Interesting to know.
Technically all 3 Desires though are the same gpu and cpu.
The deltas from regular Desire are only:
Desire HD: 768MB ram instead of 512MB
Desire Z: 800mhz cpu instead of 1Ghz
dreamora, let me disagree. Desire Z is QC 72xx family, and Desire HD is a Snapdragon thing. Moreover Desire Z offers more horsepower that Desire HD, accordingly to synthetic benchmarks.
Google Nexus One is a Snapdragon thing as well, tho. But I’d double check the spec sheets before putting the == sign.
Would be nice if it were a QSD, then I were right
But you are right, it uses a second gen Snapdragon, the MSM7230, a clocked down version of what the HTC Desire uses (MSM8255), both a generation newer than the QSD8250 in the HTC Desire.
Seems that this gives the Z a boost over the old HTC Desire of 20%, while the HD is a good 50% faster.
Naturally the GPU boost is much higher with Adreno 205 over Adreno 200.
None the less games like Dogfight Lite still run at a mostly near fluid framerate so still fast enough if games are opted (sims 3 is fully fluid for example).
As for Snapdragon: All these processors from Qualcomm since the QSD series are snapdragons, including the upcomming dualcores
So it won’t get any simpler if people use Snapdragon instead of mentioning the explicit series
