Speedometer 3.1 and LoadLine benchmarks show Android devices leading iOS, Google states. Google attributes the performance leap to deep integration across hardware, Android OS, and Chrome engine. Three unnamed Android phones outperformed an unnamed competitor (likely iOS) in Speedometer 3.1 scores.

LoadLine results showed Android phones up to 47% faster in simulating webpage load times. Google collaborated with select SoC and OEM partners to optimize Chrome and kernel scheduler policies. Year-over-year improvements of 20-60% in benchmark scores translate to tangible user gains: four to six percent faster page loads and six to nine percent faster high-percentile interactions.

This marks a significant claim in the ongoing mobile OS performance rivalry.
