hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocketnow.com and this is round two of the browser speed test with the new froyo browser which is claiming by google to be the world's fastest mobile browser versus the opera mobile 10 on the HTC hd2 and Safari on the iphone 3gs let's do it okay so the reason we're doing round two is because in round one we left flash 10.1 beta stay on which really slowed down a lot of web pages yes it gave us Flash content but it also means scrolling slow and some pages just did it load as fast as they would have if we turned it off so now it's off let's see how big of a difference this makes now that the playing field is a little bit more even so we'll go into all of these devices and will launch the browsers will be on the same Wi-Fi network all right here we go punch that browser this browser and this browser we're on different pages here so let's go to pocketnow.com on all of them try to do it at the same time but you know how difficult that can be so we'll just do a one two three and they're off again we've got flash 10.1 turned off on froyo here let's see how fast it goes they're still going looks like the iPhone finish first looks like hd2 finished to second and actually froyo finish last let's take a look at scrolling now with flash off it's a lot smoother here in Froyo so let's zoom in here to a particular link and we will click on the same permalink and then we'll bounce around to a few other websites to see how fast things are or how slow they are depending on which browser you're talking about ok let's try we're just going to do one two three one two three HD to finish first iphone second the froyo browser third it looks like it's getting hung up on something here on the page but i can assure you the flash is not turned on so let's go to another website let's go to say New York Times so NY Times ok and we're going to do one time one two and three see which one gets there ok so the froyo browser was there the fastest even though we started here hd2 finished second the iphone 3gs is coming up third let's move down the page and see what it's like they all look really good just like the desktop it's just a matter of which gets done first let's go to another website let's go to dell.com just to a should have some extra graphical elements that could slow things down right here we go we're going to go go and go okay so we're getting the mobile site on these two devices so let's load up the full site if there is a link down here it's a view full PC site and we'll try to get those at the same time that we can't I can't zoom in there so let's just try this view full PC site nope that's not right sometimes these links are so small it's difficult to press there we go for you full PC side so one step ahead on the Froyo it was extremely fast you move around on the screen front on the screen go up here so we can do for home for home and for home froyo finished first looks like overall froyo is finishing first it's not first by a huge margin but overall we're getting it to be first let's go to yet another website will go to say cnet com all right we're ready go go go we're getting the mobile version here the iphone version here and the full version over here on opera mobile all these websites have have mobile versions so once again I'm going to go to the bottom and click on the view full cnet site link did take there oh there we go can zoom in a little bit beautiful scene at site beautiful cnet site and I'd leave this didn't translate into what I was hoping it would so anyhow we'll compare I guess in this case a froyo with the hd2 since the hd2 actually seems to be outperforming the iphone browser so let's check screen rotation speed here so faster on froyo let's do it the other way if we can get it right faster on froyo definitely and let's go to one more website and compare these two browsers let's go to gizmodo com I think what's going to happen is that the hd2 is going to load the full site and then the nexus one is going to load the natural site so let's give it a try okay good this is perfect test see which one finishes first okay so froyo finished actually about still going so we're up to like seven seconds now eight about eight seconds faster that's very significant comparing these two browsers and we'll jump around see how scrolling feels very smooth on both devices although let's see if we get checkerboards we don't get checkerboards at all on on froyo whereas on the hd2 if you go really fast you get kind of the checkerboard pattern so it's another way that the Froyo browser really has a some great performance so let's zoom in on this picture and we're going to tap on the picture at the same time load the the permalink page here they go it's really amazing how far web browsers on mobile devices have come here they go and look like Froyo finish first very good and I just want to bring in the iphone again and we're going to go to gizmodo and do the same test that we just did with that with the with the hd2 and the nexus one so again we want to go down to the full full view here and we'll go back to the homepage on froyo alright let's do a screen rotation speed test froyo is faster froyo is faster you don't have that screen on a minute and animation let's scroll down fast and see what happens on the iphone 3gs if we get checkerboards whoops no it's pretty good pretty good so let's go and click on an image here let's click on this one stop it again tap froyo is faster iphone 3gs is struggling and go back to the home page and try one more link just to triple check okay we'll go to this here click on this image see which comes up faster so yeah froyo is faster froyo finished about up to about five seconds now before the iphone 3gs and sometimes more than that on the HTC hd2 so i think it can be said that if you have the flash turned off or you can even have it of course enable only when you want it to through the settings here so where are we go down to enable plugins on demand so that it says it asks you if you want to turn on the flash content on a per case basis when you do this fro your browser is indeed ninety percent of the time the fastest mobile browser of any smartphone operating system and that is quite a claim and that's extremely important because are the core functions of a smartphone is the browser and the froyo browser is awesome so that was just another test round to the mobile browser comparison test with froyo on the google nexus one be sure to give the video a thumbs up if you liked it and
