Video: HTML5 Speed Reading Test, Nokia N9 vs iPhone 4 vs HTC HD7
I saw this yesterday on one of those YouTube channels that reupload other people’s videos. I’m not sure it’s something I had posted before but I thought it might be worth checking out.
It’s a HTML5 Speed Reading Browser test that puts the Nokia N9 vs iPhone 4 vs HTC HD7.
iPhone comes last. Who comes second? Nokia N9 comes second. HTC HD7 (on Mango) comes first and by a margin.
The earliest version I can find is by sala91, Aug 27, which I think is the original account.
To check out that test, click here. I think that’s the right site.

I want a Nokia N9 vs iPhone 5 comparison. But by that time Sea Ray and the Symbian 9xx series is already out. Eff it. Just compare the OS flagships by 2012. That will be fun.
This only shows cache speed.
uh, doesn’t matter much, IE9 will still blow them both out of the water….surprisingly, Microsoft did a good job with this.
GPU accelerated browser that only works in their own tests. Typical Microsoft cheating; it’s a horrible browser.
I doubt. IE is the worst browser around in regards of standards support.
Sure! Who cares, that the are lots of sites, working only with IE. Oh WP7 haters, they are so funny…
Like what?
I don’t know and I don’t care about mobile IE, but on desktop IE is still the king of frustration when it comes to web developing.
I hope mobile IE is not as far behind as it is on desktop.
Sites that were designed specifically around the shortcomings of IE in order to work, and as a result don’t work on other browsers?
Normally those sites tend to be intranet pages.
well actually i own a WP7 phone (lumia 800) and the browser just works for those who are not capable to understand it, it takes around 60 points in HTML5 test ,hence it cannot display mobile sites properly (facebook twitter ecc) and there is no alternative browser to install from the market so just take it as it come….
Funny, that’s not what the w3c thinks.
Look at the results of 925 HTML 5 tests
http://w3c-test.org/html/tests/reporting/report.htm
There’s much more to HTML5 than that, because the standard isn’t ready and W3C doesn’t test those. More complete results are at http://www.html5test.com/results.html
Right, more complete results from a marketing firm that “Designs web apps” than the organization that’s writing the standard.
Keep telling yourself what you need to hear.
Most of those HTML5-tests is written by Microsoft.
But that’s a good thing, we need more tests.
Also, Microsoft actually does a good job of implementing features that *have* tests, so they are biasing for tests, whilst the other browser engines use other methods to choose what they want to support first (like, what they think is most useful).
As far as I can remember you have posted a video like this including the comparison ng html score between this 3 phone.
what i remember is that it was a andorid vs ios vs wp7
Yes, a similar video was posted but that was without the Nokia N9.
Who cares?
No one wants WP7 if it if displays that in 1 second.
you would
Exactly. There are many good things in the world, which no one wants. WP7 is one of them!
So, it should be Andriod rather than WP7 as of now. WP7 has to be proved. It is just not moving out of the shelf right now.
So you are saying that we shouldn’t buy a WP7 phone because others aren’t buying it?!! I thought we are human not sheep.
Buy a WP7 phone and see why others avoid it by yourself. I did, and I know.
Exactly. We should try things ourselves and then decide, not follow other people.
Fortunately I didn’t fall for android’s hype and tried a C7. In the end I bought it and saved 120$. I’m pretty happy with it and the news of belle and microsoft apps made me even happier.
IMO android has just one advantage and that’s the number of available apps for it, but that’s not a problem for me. I’m not exactly an app person and the important ones that I needed were already on ovi.
“Buy a WP7 phone and see why others avoid it by yourself. I did, and I know”
Buy a WP 7.5 phone instead. Then we talk. Oh wait, EVERY wp phone out there will receive it
Jobs said that he will not implement Flash in iOS because HTML5 is a future. HTML5 on iPhone sucks. iPhone sucks. Jobs quits. Apple dies.
Jobs said that Flash is slow. Hahahahah.
It’s a Microsoft test! It has nothing to do with actual browser performance. It’s not HTML5 or anything standard, but uses proprietary MS optimizations, to enable GPU acceleration on MS devices. There are ‘standard’ (more compatible) ways to use GPU with other browsers, but Microsoft doesn’t use these because they want to cheat like always.
I was expecting to see a comment like this. MS optimizations? LOL
Well, if the canvas element was originally thought by MS your assumption would hold water.
However, the canvas element was first implemented by Apple and over the years it made it’s way into the still to be released HTML5 standard.
Looking at the code for the fishtank MS demo it doesn’t use any code other than plain HTML5 elements ro render stuff. Elements that everyone can utilize.
But once someone believes that MS cheats on everything its hard to see it the otherway.
BTW; I’m not saying MS rules or IE is the best browser. Not at all, I still use FF for my browsing rather than IE.
+1
And where is the test itself? Wanted to run Firefox on N950 on it.
It says that N9′s is using Apple Safari as browser. That’s strange.
Well it’s the same engine. They could say that about Google’s Chrome too as it uses the same engine.
So basically they are right but at the same time wrong.
To be honest I am pretty sure this testing site is biased. Why? It is from Microsoft, and when I try it IE comes on top on my computer…before chrome and firefox. And I know that they are faster than IE.
It is absolutely obvious, that any test showing IE performance is biased, how do people know? It is just biased, it’s a conspiracy, it doesn’t need any proof or logic!
And you haven’t said how the test is balanced and doesn’t use any IE specific optimizations. So I guess you are biased too.
Guys, guys, you should know better.. Obviously there’s no single speed metric for browsers. IE9 excels in JavaScript execution and HTML 5 Canvas rendering, which are what this test tests. You can verify the results seen from many other JavaScript or Canvas benchmarks out there. On the other hand IE9 is not the fastest when it comes to HTML/JavaScript parsing and the DOM-tree initialization. And that would show up as a slower page load time.
GPU acceleration could come for N9 too.
This isn’t right. It can’t be. the meego browser has better html support than IE9
Now I know for sure this test is rigged. Tried it on my pc with latest version of chrome and it took longer than the iphone.
And chrome has the best html5 support out there.

Actually it doesn’t

Actually it doesn’t
http://w3c-test.org/html/tests/reporting/report.htm
It was worse than the IE9 release candidate and almost as bad as Firefox Beta 11.
I don’t like WP so it can’t be right? Are you serious?
you like WP so it has to be right? Are you serious?
So you don’t believe your eyes
Support is one thing, handling scripts etc. is a whole different ball game.
If a browser has a better javascript handler it will go faster through different scipts and therefor be faster overall eventhough it might not support several HTML elements.
The MeeGo browser has support for more HTML5 style commands than IE9, but the way it handles them can be severly different.
It seems that Samsung want to stop WP…

How is your comment related to this article is beyond me. The blog has a dedicated e-mail address for tips
So once again IE wins in Microsofts own tests…
Tests that have nothing to do with real world browser performance. Even the IE9 for desktop was great in that tests but sucks in anything regarding standard compliance.
real world browser performance =/= standard compliance
A lot of work has gone into the GPU acceleration in the HTML Mango Browser implementation – and it shows.
All of the MS haters here making excuses that it is some how a doctored test.
Accept that Mango has a great browser and move on!
Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your website accidentally, and I’m shocked why this accident did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
Tried this on an iPhone 4 running iOS5.01
Got 33fps.
Which appears to be 3 times faster than Windows Phone 7.
Just saying.
I just tested on my iphone 4s (Mobile Safari 7534.48.3 iOS5.0) and I get FPS: 60, Total Billboard Draws: 197, Avg Draw Duration: 09ms
