Although the "Smoked by Windows Phone" campaign will always exist controversial due to its selective nature, they're still fun to watch and occasionally surprise u.s.a.. Malaysia is now getting in on the action and while this contest business organisation is a bit "quondam" for usa nosotros have to understand that for a lot of folks, information technology's not.

In the above video, a different Ben from Microsoft takes on others in the claiming to vanquish Windows Phone during various predetermined tasks. Nothing new there only at 1:50 we do run across a challenger with the make new quad-core HTC 1 X, considered past many to the new top of the line Android phone (encounter AndroidCentral'due south review). The claiming was unproblematic: take a photo of yourself, upload it to Facebook and tag it, merely due to some fumbling around with the Ane X, the poor participant gets his beat fairly hands.

Of course it doesn't make the 1 X any less impressive as this contest is a chip stock-still with tasks that favor Windows Phone. And perhaps with a different user the 1 X would have been a lot more constructive at competing. But the purpose of the "Smoked" entrada is non to be fair simply rather to demonstrate the efficiency of Windows Phone for common tasks that users are probable to use everyday.
