Ultimate Competitor of Opera
Mini
— UC
Browser 7.2 Experience
Report.
From the birth of
Opera Mini, it has been standing
for the No.1 mobile browser
for a long time. However, after
6 years, I think the world is a
little bit changed with the entry
of another
free mobile
browser from China, named UC
Browser. UC Browser was
known as UCWEB, and famous
for its fast speed and traffic
saving technology, and
already has 100 million users.
UC Browser just released its
7.2 international version,
many new features had been
added in this new version, and
here is my experience on it.
1. *Fast Speed as Always!*
Personally, I have all of these
browsers installed on my
N6233 and use whichever one
is most appropriate to the job
at hand under the network of
Bharti. The time consuming to
open each site is
listed below:
*Brief Sum-up: From the
testings, i got to know that UC
Browser got almost the same
speed with Opera Mini, and
a little bit faster than Opera
Mini, left Bolt, Skyfire and Nokia
default browser far behind.
2.*How Much Traffic Charge
You Can Save With UC
Browser?*
Be aware of the high charge of
traffic for data service, UC
Browser introduced a cutting-
edge traffic saving technology.
According to its official
announcement, it can save 85
% of the traffic, compare to 80
% Opera Mini can do. Here is my
test to the Data Compression
Rate:
*Brief Sum-up: UC Browser
could save even more than 85
% of your traffic, which will
save you're a lot of money
spend on your data service.
3.*Sharing
— The Core Part of
SNS*“ Sharing ” is one of the
most important functions in
the
Mobile Internet. It can not
only reduce the churn rate, but
also lead the platform to
extent. Hence, it is the major
battle for mobile hardware and
software manufacturers. UC
Browser 7.2 has a big feature
for sharing, which is called
“
Capture & Share ” . When you
want to insert a picture in
SNS (Like Facebook), the
system will hint the users to
shot a photo and upload
it. After choosing this option,
you can use the
“ left ” &“ right ”
button to adjust the resolution,
or switch to the front camera if
you have one.
*Brief Sum-Up: Picture Sharing
Function has a high
practicability in the internet,
which is full of community and
SNS sites. Maybe, in the next
version of UC Browser, there
will be a Location Sharing
Function, who knows? But I
really hope UC Browser could
work on this.
4.*Personalized Themes Makes
Life Colorful. * The personalized
themes are the biggest
difference between old version
and new version. In the old
version of UC Browser,
it carried 6 theme and in UC
7.2 just 2 pre-defined
themes.
However, what makes me
surprised is UC 7.2 supports
themes downloads, and UC
officially
provided 9
themes in
total. I downloaded 2
themes,
and after clicking the “ Theme
Download ” , the system will
redirect you to the UC
download page, and it will take
you only 4 seconds to
download per each. After
the installation, the interface
of UC Browser will change
automatically very fast. *Brief
Sum-up: We can anticipate that
the UC Browser
7.2 Personalized Themes
Function will allow users to
design its own
themes. I
compared this function to
Opera Mini, and find that Opera
Mini still adopted the
embedded interface, which is
lack of personalization.
5. *Flash 10 Support* Maybe
Steven Jobs, the CEO of Apple,
can
’ t imagine that when he is
still quarreling with Adobe for
the Flash, UC Browser from
China has already released the
new version to fully support
Flash 10 technology to serve
its 100 million users. The new
version is already ready for
Chinese, and not later in the
future, I think UC Browser will
also bring it to the
International Version. With
Flash 10 support, users can
play community games with
the same experience as what
they have in PC. *Summary:*
According to the
“ Mobile
Internet Research Report ”
from Morgan Stanley: Mobile
Internet will grow faster than
PC Internet, and the scope will
be out of the imagine of most
of the people, because
it represents the convergence
of 5 major trends: 3 G+SNS
+Video+Internet Call
+ Handsets. Obviously, UC 7.2
takes 2 of these 5 keywords,
which are SNS and 3 G. From
the function sides, I felt a lot
surprise, including the
entertainment, personalization,
speed and
operation. To
be objectively, compare to the
previous versions, UC Browser
7.2 made a big progress. You
