Is Google Android Web browser faster than Apple iPhone browser? Yes, says a speed test conducted by Blaze Software Inc., a Canadian software company. Turning out a shocking revelation for Apple that always boasts of its iPhone’s competency over Android phones, Blaze’s study reveals that Android browser is on average 52 percent faster than the iPhone browser. In other words, Android phone needed 2.1 seconds for a Web page to load, while iPhone needed 3.2 seconds for the same, according to the tests. Blaze took an iOS 4.3-run Apple iPhone 4 and Android 2.3-run Google Nexus S as sample models for the Android Vs iPhone Web browser test.

Blaze Software tests further exposed that JavaScript speed enhancements in the latest iPhone and Android software have brought on no significant changes in Web loading speed. Only slight changes were witnessed in speed between iOS 4.3 and iOS 4.2 and Android 2.3 and Android 2.2.
