Google is now claiming that its Android OS has surpassed the web browsing-based performance benchmarks of Apple's iOS, based on the latest tests from Speedometer and LoadLine.
Google's Android OS is now the best mobile platform for web browsing, as per a slew of new performance benchmarks
In a newly published post on the Chromium Blog, Google has taken a victory lap of sorts by noting:
"Through deep vertical integration across hardware, the Android OS, and the Chrome engine, the latest flagship Android devices are setting new performance records, outperforming all other mobile competitors in the key web performance benchmarks Speedometer and LoadLine and providing a level of responsiveness previously unseen on mobile."
For the benefit of those who might not be aware, Speedometer is a popular standard that simulates real-world user actions to measure browsing latency. High scores mean a more fluid, snappy feeling when you tap, scroll, or type on a website. LoadLine, on the other hand, measures how fast a webpage loads once clicked.
According to Google, "top tier Android phones score up to 47% higher than non-Android competitors (hint: Apple's iOS)." Google performed these tests on 3 unidentified Android smartphones against a "competing mobile platform."
Google notes that it actively encouraged partner OEMs to tune their devices against Speedometer and LoadLine, resulting in "some Android flagship phones improving their Speedometer and LoadLine scores by 20-60% year-over-year, compared to their respective predecessor models."
