Flash 10.1 Performance On Android = Not So Much?

Mark Doherty from Flash Mobile Blog has posted some stunning numbers with video of the effect of Flash 10.1 on the Nexus One handset. The numbers clearly show that the effect on the phone itself is very little to none at all. Not only does the test produce the accompanying numbers, but he also managed to make produce a lengthy video on the entire process. Hit the link for more.

During our testing of Flash Player 10.1 we have baseline tests against the following use cases (among others), and using a multi-meter to ensure that your content runs with acceptable battery consumption.  We’re also testing against the web on sites like youtube, blip.tv and others with great performance reaching to hours of playback on the Nexus One.

Here are the actual combinations of test scenarios carried out at our offices, of course the real world result for you will be different:

  • Idle – No 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, IR
  • Idle – No 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, IR + backlight ON
  • 3G enabled – Wifi, Bluetooth, IR off
  • WIFI + vanilla HTML.   ’simple.html’
  • 3G + vanilla HTML.   ’simple.html’
  • 3G + vanilla HTML file + swf:  ’simple-swf.html’

To demonstrate battery performance on the Nexus One here is a recording of a large movie playing on Youtube.  It lasts for some 17 minutes with little effect on the battery indicator, and just to ensure fairness I have included the battery usage chart data from the Android OS.  Our own tests show that video can be played for well over 3Hours over WIFI from youtube in H.264 (Baseline 1.2).
