BlackBerry 10 browser beats iOS 6 and Windows Phone 8 in rendering speed
Share:
These latest tests of the browser on a BB10 prototype show rendering speeds and are very impressive. Gadget Masters got their hands on a Dev Alpha B smartphone running BB10 and fared it against the iPhone 5’s Mobile Safari browser on iOS 6 and an HTC Windows Phone 8X with Windows Phone 8’s Internet Explorer.
We could safely say that BlackBerry 10 beats both. Take a look below.

if the browser performance is someething to judge the overall performance of BB10...tehn yes it seems like a real winner.
but the interface is real bad...one home screen looks like ios and the other homescreen looks like live tiles/ android widgets kind of thing. moreover see the interface of the browser, button placements in the app it all seems too android but hey who know...diversity is always good maybe BB10 will surprise us!

well, internet and browser performance in any bb has always been its selling point right?

Its allways been about apps. First to get that was Apple and went huge... and than the same with Android!

true but not anymore as all smartphones have become mobile computers with good to great browsing performances, mobile phones have become cameras, recorders, music players and more!
if bb wants to succeed they have to come up in all departments only internet wont cut it anymore.
in the past bb were one of the exclusive ffering internet browsing like desktops and computing and encryptions...now everyone offers it...not to mention bb will have to endure the gigantic market squeeze of iOS and android and compete with the cash of MS in advertising.
The only way BB can win is of they rise to the occasion in all deppartments...well they've got encryption and browsing going for them so thats two areas covered :) but its still to early to tell

The first thing that irritates me about your post is the widget thing. Widgets/App looking thing was around LONG before Android and iOS. Even the much older Blackberrys used the same looking icons on their OS. Even PALM used those kind of icons and older Windows phones. People really need to educate themselves on this kind of stuff and quit spreading lies.
There is one main home screen doesn't look like Windows live tiles because Windows uses a bunch of different sized squares and throws them together. You also swipe up and down, not left to right. Blackberry uses squares that are the same size "not a bunch of random sizes" and they're organized, not thrown around. Squares that display info has also been in the market for a long time. In this case, it doesn't even have the same layout as Windows...

"but the interface is real bad...one home screen looks like ios and the other homescreen looks like live tiles/ android widgets kind of thing. "
i completely disagree and also laugh!!!
some apple fans wants to make a major overhaul on its UI to support wigets/livetiles like android and windows phone is!
some people dont prefer android coz its hard for some people to get to know android for the first time coz of a lot of costumization(not a bad thing but a lot just want it simple!)
and i believe BB10 just give the best of both worlds!!! the one home screen on the iOS and the widget/livetiles of android/WP!!
isnt it great?!
and please stop being so negative!!! i like the interface a lot!!

Who really cares! Are you going to go by a blackberry? Talk about taking a step backwards!!!
21. NotaFanBoy posted on 19 Dec 2012, 11:42 7 1
I won't "by" one but I might "buy" one. Give it a chance, it actually doesn't look bad and browsing on the go is growing every year. So this could benefit the heavy web browsing consumer depending on how stable the OS is.

Did we point the gun to you to buy this and throw away your current device??
36. tonygoz posted on 19 Dec 2012, 17:03 0 0
i am going to buy one, either ways iv used devices on all platforms and id gladly give bb10 a chance, hope u don't buy one when u change ur mind 0.0

i dont" "by" things, i "buy" things!!
jealous retarded cunt!

if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't call it a step backwards BB10 launches the 30th of next month, the future of blackberry is what matters, not the past.

I think this Dev device runs either TI OMAP 4470 or the new TI OMAP A-15 processor with 1gb of ram.
No matter how fast the software optimization is, the hardware must be a beast also to take on iPhone

I think the new BlackBerry phones use Snapdragons
59. stychill posted on 22 Dec 2012, 17:21 0 0
i think not, unless they updated the specs. whats been leaked before for the upcoming model is what the post above you says, dual core

You had to choose Lumia 920 instead of HTC as a Windows phone representative.
11. gazmatic posted on 19 Dec 2012, 10:19 3 0
you got it backwards....
they chose the "signature" windows phone
instead of the BEST windows phone
44. MC1123 posted on 19 Dec 2012, 18:17 2 0
its because ballmer dont want nokia to be the only choice of WP thats why they push HTC so hard!
just like on android, samsung is the only choice that people know, even though sony phones are way bettery looking!!

I think it only displayed viable options for businesses; probably why android was eliminated.

I think it's weird that they didn't include the largest platform in their comparison.
37. tonygoz posted on 19 Dec 2012, 17:06 0 1
they just couldn't have unstable robots running loose.. no offense but android is a Chernobyl in waiting
7. smallworld posted on 19 Dec 2012, 10:08 5 6
Still not impressed but I would take this anyday over WP.

Oh me too.
Best of luck to BB!
They seem to aim the sweet spot between closed system cohesion and abundance of customization/features

yeah... it is actually a unix-like..so its a close source but with the beauty of open source!!
all i could say BB10 has the formula of Best of Both Worlds!

Learn Nokia. If you don't wanna go to android then reboot symbian or meego.

it is really really wierd but my Galaxy Note 10.1 on HTML5test.com gets a score of 448 and 3 bonus points.. its higher than Nexus 10 and even iPad 4!!!
does any one here has Note 10.1? what score do u get?
32. erdpov posted on 19 Dec 2012, 15:46 0 0
432 points with the stock browser by Samsung. energyefficient mode is on.Firefox is worse, ands a score is lower. Sadly, I like Firefox on my galaxy note.
22. Whodaboss posted on 19 Dec 2012, 12:20 0 0
In other words I should be believe my lying eyes in the "HTML5" test even though the Windows phone brought it up faster? Hmm... I'll have to ponder that one.
46. MC1123 posted on 19 Dec 2012, 18:21 0 0
no one said that BB10 will be on top of android!!!
are you really jealous that BB10 will take off?!
coz again, only people who feel threaten will be really negative towards another that wants to take off!!
25. downphoenix posted on 19 Dec 2012, 13:10 0 0
Not too surprised, the BB10 browser has been doing awesome overall. I even remember it was beating some desktop browsers in HTML5 tests, not just mobile browsers. I am interested as to why they didnt compare it to an android, like a Galaxy S3 or similar.
26. AliNSiddiqui posted on 19 Dec 2012, 13:17 2 1
This is extremely pathetic. BB10 does open webpages faster, but I would rather wait for 0.5 seconds and have better smoothness when browsing. For example, look at the first webpage loaded on the BlackBerry device, the animation of the picture of the articles changing is so laggy (as you can see in the video vs iPhone) but WP8 looks extremely smooth and iPhone looks a bit less smoother but still far better than BB. Also, my Note II scores 488 with Dolphin Browser in the html test, so the important tasks are done better by both iOS and WP8...
28. theBankRobber posted on 19 Dec 2012, 13:59 1 0
This is about main default browsers, Dolphin Browser is a secondary app. Still none the case blackberry articles still bring out alot of android users hating on BB10. Now that's pathetic
30. lauremar posted on 19 Dec 2012, 14:24 0 3
Who cares! Wayyyyyyyy too late in the game... Blackberry 10 will be Dead On Arrival...
33. theBankRobber posted on 19 Dec 2012, 15:58 3 1
They still have 80,000,000 active users, dead on arrival is far from the truth.
34. sniper1087 posted on 19 Dec 2012, 16:06 1 1
Hmm on the iphone video the website didnt finish loading on the bb10 device look at the loading bar at the bottom, the iphone definitely finished first.

BlackBerry10 is just ugly.....this is the biggest thing. If your going to carry something around for 2yrs don't you want it to be nice to look at? BlackBerry is over.give it up this is going to be a fail when it launches. HTC needs to come back.
53. tashreef posted on 19 Dec 2012, 23:37 0 0
you could have cleared the cookies from BB10 before comparing it with WP8 ...
just an assumption.....
First time you open any webpage it open's bit slowly....
second time if u open the same webpage with the same device it open's bit faster ....
