I agree for all Android devices until the current generation. However, with the Nexus 7, Nexus 4, HTC One X, and similar devices I find the Chrome experience to be every bit as good as iOS. Maybe I haven't used iOS long enough to catch the very small differences but I now consider the browsers to be equal. The only area in which iOS still wins is startup/resume time for the browser with a few tabs.
- Cowen 14y agoEchoing what you're saying, on my Nexus S, Chrome is unbearably slow. I would bet that the majority of Android smartphones -- the ones that aren't the marquee, top-of-the-line products -- all have a similar quality of experience with Chrome. In a few years when Moore's Law catches up to the lower end of Android phones, that won't be an issue, but right now I think we're still in a transition period.
- chaz 14y agoI'm pretty happy with Chrome on my Nexus 4. Only on this phone do I feel like performance is close to where it needs to be. Nexus One, S, and Galaxy have all been a little sluggish for their contemporary OS. iOS has always been tweaked for its devices to deliver responsive performance, even if it wasn't fast.
- jsnell 14y agoChrome is only available on ICS and higher, so that's not such a big deal. Phones of the nexus S vintage and power levels mostly run gingerbread anyway. (One could argue that the S should not have been upgraded at all, but realistically Google had to do it to appear credible on upgrade issues).
