Mobile browser test arrays

Here are the mobile browser test arrays I currently use. Also, below are the requirements for the next version of the array.

1.0

Original array, created in mid-February 2013.

Example	Mobile browser test array 1.0; February 2013 All these browsers are WebKit-based, with the exception of both Operas (still Presto), IE9 (Trident), and Firefox and Nokia Xpress (Gecko).

Firefox 18 on HTC One X, Android 4.1.1 General note on One, NetFront, and UC: the browsers I test are not particularly representative for the actual browsers that are used in the wild. Though some may be default browsers on Asian Android devices, most of them get their market share from being pre-installed on feature phones. These installs are unlikely to use the same rendering engine I’m testing. This is the best I can do, though — and all these browser vendors definitely want to expand their market via Android.

1.0.1

Nokia advised me to remove the old Symbian browser on the E71. I had included it mostly for nostalgic reasons anyway; it was the first one I seriously studied when I started doing mobile work in 2009.

1.0.2

New Nokia phones arrived: a Lumia 820 (Windows Phone 8), a PureView 808 (Symbian Belle), and an Asha 311 (S40; Xpress proxy browser). I removed the old S40 WebKit, added Belle, and switched Xpress over from the Windows Phone 7 to the Asha.

Also I revised the order of the Nokia browsers and the miscellaneous WebKits. They’re supposed to be ordered from bad to good.

Some devices were sold, however, and a Finnish company is trying to re-start MeeGo under the name Sailfish. And who knows? Ex-Nokia people have good operator contacts. Anna WebKit 533 Default browser on Nokia E7, Symbian Anna The next-to-last Symbian build. I don’t think it was the prime Symbian build for long; it was replaced by Belle fairly soon. But it’ll be in some people’s pockets. Belle WebKit 535 Default browser on Nokia PureView 808, Symbian Belle SP2 The most recent Symbian build.

Added three Chinese phones:

HTC A810e ChaCha, Android 2.3.4
Huawei C8813, Android 4.1.1
Xiaomi M2, Android 4.1.1

All default Android WebKits were added. The ChaCha also has a QQ 2.0 browser pre-installed that was added. The Huawei en Xiaomi also have a UC browser pre-installed, but I cannot find the version numbers.

Removed the UC on the Android 3 tablet.

This device has 1GB of internal memory instead of the customary 2GB, which may matter in performance tests. Xpress Gecko Proxy browser 2.3 on the Nokia Asha 311, S40. This browser used to be called Ovi. Nokia developed it because it saw how succesful Opera was on Nokia’s own devices. MeeGo WebKit 534 Default browser on Nokia N950, MeeGo Harmattan 1.2 Originally slated as Symbian’s successor, MeeGo was ousted in favour of Windows Phone. Some devices were sold, however, and a Finnish company is trying to re-start MeeGo under the name Sailfish. And who knows? Ex-Nokia people have good operator contacts. Anna WebKit 533 Default browser on Nokia E7, Symbian Anna The next-to-last Symbian build. I don’t think it was the prime Symbian build for long; it was replaced by Belle fairly soon. But it’ll be in some people’s pockets. Belle WebKit 535 Default browser on Nokia PureView 808, Symbian Belle SP2 The most recent Symbian build. UC WebKit 534 UC ? on Huawei C8813 (Android 4.1.1) UC ? on Xiaomi M2 (Android 4.1.1) The largest Chinese browser. I’m testing the full variant, not the proxy. These browsers were pre-installed (next to Android WebKit; don’t ask me why). Unfortunately I cannot find the version numbers. NetFront WebKit 534 Default browser on Nintendo Wii U NetFront, by the Japanese Access company, used to be big on proprietary Samsung and Sony Ericsson systems. It is now switching to WebKit from their own rendering engine, and to the gaming device and TV markets. Dolphin WebKit 534 Beta 1.3.1 on Samsung Galaxy Note I, Android 4.0.3. Independent full browser for Android. The non-beta is a skin over the Android default browser. The beta uses their own WebKit port. QQ 2.0 WebKit 533 3.5.2 on HTC A810e ChaCha, Android 2.3.4 By the Chinese company TenCent. Domestic competitor of UC. This one is pre-installed next to Android WebKit (why? don’t know) QQ One WebKit 534 3.5.2 on HTC One X, Android 4.1.1 It seems this is the downloadable, international browser TenCent created. Tizen WebKit 537 Default browser on Lunchbox prototype by Intel, Tizen 2.0.0a3 Tizen is an OS jointly being developed by Samsung and Intel. I expect Samsung to start producing devices this year, and it will get a few percent of market share. IE9 Trident Default browser on Nokia Lumia 800, Windows Phone 7.
