hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocket now calm and this is a rematch between the google nexus one and the HD HD two for website rendering speeds we already did this comparison using using the stock browser on the HTC hd2 Opera Mobile 9.7 and it was significantly slower than the nexus one but we got a lot of requests from people asking us do the same comparison with the fastest windows mobile browser skyfire so we're going to test that now and we've got both loading loaded into program memory so they should load at the same time very quickly and there they go let's start off we'll go to pocket now calm on both devices see which one loads it faster all right and let's do it one two three and they're off skyfire one nexus one is still loading still loading so the nexus one was about six seconds slower then skyfire on the HTC hd2 of course we can pan down on both we can get a little bit closer by double tapping here double tap and let's click on this top headline and see how fast it loads sort of a permalink page 123 okay there there go there we go skyfire one nexus one is still loading the page and we can of course scroll down and see the contents of the page I'm just going to stop nexus one here it is slower and we're going to check screen rotation speed on both of these devices on the same webpage so let's try to do this as closely as possible one two three ok so the nexus one was faster there let's try going into portrait so the nexus one was a little bit faster in screen rotation speed let's go to another website this time we're going to go to engadget.com all right here we go one two three okay skyfire one again and nexus one is still working away they're both connected the same Wi-Fi network by the way it's still going alright so that was about ten seconds behind skyfire let's flick down the page and see how things look on the nexus one we can flick down quite quickly and everything is there if we do the same on skyfire a problem skyfire has it's kind of slow to redraw the screen if you're flicking really fast sometimes it has trouble keeping up but once you go down the page or wait a little bit of time it clears up so that's definitely one leg up on on the nexus one has really good performance at keeping the page rendered as nicely as possible alright let's click a permalink here we're gonna click on this story see how long that takes to load all right and the hd2 one in that test we can scroll down the page and you get the point so overall it does look like sky fire on the hd2 is bastard rendering web pages then the browser on the nexus one that said it doesn't perform as well because oftentimes if you flick quickly you'll get checkerboards and it takes a few moments to clear up whereas on the nexus one everything seems to be already rendered very very nicely on the bottom of the page so for speed the hd2 wins but again for rendering fidelity and the ability to quickly refresh the page and get everything loaded the nexus ones browser is superior i'll put a link up on the video in case you missed the video comparing upper mobile 9.7 on the hd2 to the browser on the nexus one that's it for now
