If you do a search on the Android Market and type the keyword browser, you can see that many additional application options available. Of the many choices, there are three browser we observed that the main choice of Android users, the Opera, Dolphin, and Skyfire. In this article, we will try to discuss the three browsers Android.
Famous browser Mozilla application developers, has launched its newest product Firefox 4.0 for Android, but this application picky in terms of handset used, and the handset is supported mostly high-end class. For handsets that do not support, Firefox 4.0 does not appear in the Android Market handset users. Therefore, we not to involve Firefox on this discussion.
The discussion starts with the Dolphin product. In the Android Market, Dolphin provides three options of applications, namely Dolphin Browser HD, Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser Mini. In accordance with the order of Dolphin Browser HD is the most full-featured version and capable of High-Definition (HD) so it looks better. And to display the photos on the site, the browser will provide a clearer view.
Opera, the browser application developers are famous for all platforms, providing two applications, namely Opera Mobile Web Browser and Opera Mini Web Browser. While Skyfire provides only one application, Skyfire 4.0, the Android Market.
Speed access
The first test we do is, of course, about the speed of access. we test comparison of all Android browsers mentioned above to access the mobile version of the site , i-pict.blogspot.com Before doing the test, we sure to clear the cache and history first.
In 3G networks, Opera Mobile Web Browser, Dolphin Browser HD, Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser Mini to be the fastest, and are at approximately the same speed. Skyfire was ranked second, and Opera Mini Web Browser into the youngest. But the browser is in the order of the youngest on the network, the speed did not disappoint and the access site pages are in seconds.
For 2G, we find a lot of disappointment. Even on the application Opera Mini Web Browser and Dolphin Browser Mini, which deliberately created by the developer for use in 2G network connection, the access speed is still too slow. In 2G, the first position was occupied by the Dolphin Browser HD, Dolphin Browser and Opera Mini Web Browser. And is at roughly the same speed, which is slower. Dolphin Browser Mini and Opera Mobile Web Browser speed is very slow on this network. While on Skyfire, after several attempts, we not managed to access the site with a 2G network.
Design
To design, we choose Opera Mini Web Browser, Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser Mini as a viable application for consideration. They look very simple and comfortable to look at. For Opera Mobile Web Browser, browser we found it less suitable for a smartphone with a small screen, because of the view that given the browser is not fit to follow another browser such as screen size, users will be more frequent zooming and shifting the display to read the site so that it is make it uncomfortable. For Dolphin Browser HD, the design is less attractive, especially for the size of High-Definition. While Skyfire standard design, plus the number of icons, making the browser display it seem complicated.
Features
All browsers have similar features. But if you need a browser with maximum completeness, we choose Dolphin Browser HD. Products Dolphin HD version supports many add on is available in the Android Market such as PDF Viewer for Dolphin, Dolphin Translate, Dolphin Theme, and many add on another.
Skyfire once again got a bad grade. we found one very annoying feature in this browser. Skyfire Skyfire Video feature that can be used to view video on sites that are supported by this feature. Indeed, in theory, this feature provides distinct advantages for Skyfire. However, these features of Skyfire is paid, and after the trial period runs out notifications to users to buy features will often appear when the browser is active. According to the assessment we this will really annoy users.
Overall, we settled on two products Dolphin, Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Browser HD. we suggest your Android handset users for selection focuses on these two browsers. For you who are concerned with the design coupled with features, Dolphin Browser is suitable for you. While you are looking for the maximum-enabled browser, Dolphin Browser HD with support for add on that you can select in the Android Market will meet your needs.
