I'm glad you like your phone, but of course your brand new Android phone surfs the web better than your old iPhone. It's got a faster CPU, more RAM, and a higher-resolution screen.
Web surfing is very similar among similarly-specced phones across all of the major OSes (it's mostly the same browser, after all).

Better resolution, better browsers (parallel load of tabs, faster tab switching, capability to render more than one tab at a time, flash integration (skyfire), etc), better integration with other applications (youtube, quickoffice, music app, gallery app, etc).
