More than a year ago, I benchmarked my collection of WP7 phones. Since then, I've been growing my crack habit and now have a total of 11 dummy display phones, and 5 actual phones. Fortunately, I've come to my senses and sold Lisa's old Samsung Focus Flash along with the Lumia 520 I picked up for $150 (now that I have it I know why it's only $150). Before they departed, I created an updated benchmark to help me feel better about my loss. I was shocked to find the Lumia 520 had the fastest GPU before remembering it only renders at 800x480 instead of the 1280x720 the 8X chugs through. The Trophy is still the saddest Gen1 hardware, with the Flash/900/800 all running almost identical thanks to fairly identical chipsets. With my Lumia 928 just around the corner, another fanboy orgy post is sure to follow soon.
