On the Web Nexus S is faster than the iPhone


Blaze, a company active on the optimization of the performance of Web sites, did a test and found that S with Android Nexus 2.3 can load web sites 52% faster than an iPhone with IOS 4.3.
The company has based this conclusion on a sample of 45,000 Web sites loaded on the iPhone and Nexus S 4 . The result is surprising, considering that iOS 4.3 showed a significant performance gain over previous versions with JavaScript. The test was carried out on the loading device (via WiFi) sites in the Fortune 1000 list, which contains the thousand most influential companies in the world. This test showed that the Nexus S sites load faster than 84% of the time . The average time of loading of the iPhone 4 is 3.254 seconds, while the S Nexus takes 2.144 seconds.

As for sites optimized for mobile devices, however, the iPhone balances the fates 2.085 seconds using an average of 2.024 against the Nexus S. Of course, one might consider that as these tests are affected by problems of access, from loading time of advertising from other sites and other factors mean that the results can vary considerably over time.
On balance, the difference between the two phones is just one second on loading a single web site, a value that is unlikely to be noticed by any user.
Apple has however contested the correctness of the results for Blaze to complete the test did not use the Safari browser, which has specific optimizations that take advantage of features of IOS 4.3, but its an app that does not have the possibility of using these optimizations. Despite this, Apple points out that the gap is contained in a single second.
