Google announced that Android with Chrome has achieved a new performance record in mobile web browsing.
As evidence for its claim as the fastest mobile platform for web browsing, Google cited the Speedometer and LoadLine benchmarks.
Google first emphasized responsiveness, one of the two key elements of web performance evaluation.
Speedometer, used by all major browser engines, simulates real user actions to measure interaction latency. A higher score means that viewing websites feels smoother and more immediate when tapping, scrolling, and inputting.
Meanwhile, LoadLine measures the overall page loading speed, i.e., how quickly a page appears after clicking a link. The Chrome and Android team developed this benchmark in collaboration with SoC and OEM partners to simulate the entire process of website loading.
Google stated that 'top-tier Android phones scored up to 47% higher than non-Android competitors (meaning iOS).' This test was conducted by comparing three unnamed Android flagship smartphones with a 'competing mobile platform.'
Google emphasized that "full-stack optimization is key for efficient hardware utilization" and highlighted the meticulous refinement of Chrome and kernel scheduler policies in collaboration with SoC and OEM partners.
It also revealed its recommendation to Android partner companies to utilize the Speedometer and LoadLine benchmarks for analyzing and improving device performance. [The rest of the content is omitted]
