Vellamo is a mobile Web benchmark that evaluates browser performance on Android devices and provides a holistic view into browser performance. It also evaluates networking, JavaScript, rendering, and user experience incorporating industry standard and custom tests. The test was developed by Qualcomm.
We ran Vellamo on a couple of Android tablets and a few android phones to see how they compared.
There was a mixture of operating systems and service providers as shown in the table.
The tablets, with larger more powerful SoCs clearly got the best scores, while most of the phones were in the same range.
