Android Browser Benchmarks - February 2025

Test Methodology

Chrome V.132.0.6834.163
Firefox V.135
Tests are run in two separate devices.
A Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G that is almost exclusively used for these tests.
A Samsung S23 that is my daily driver phone.
Both devices have 8GB of RAM .
Data is cleared on both browsers before running the tests
Background apps are cleared.
At least 2 minutes are allowed between each of the tests so thermal throttling isn't an issue.
Firefox tracking protection is disabled.

Test Results

WebXPRT 4.0 is an average of 2 runs because of the time it takes to run it each time. However, it was higher both times on Firefox so I felt it was unnecessary to do a 3rd run.
