Here are the mobile browser test arrays I currently use. Also, below are the requirements for the next version of the array.
Original array, created in mid-February 2013.

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). Opera Mini and Nokia Xpress are proxy browsers.
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.

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.
Not used any more.
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.

Wolfgang AT-AS45FW note: Wolfgang is a Dutch importer and re-brander of phones. In this particular case they seem to have bought Chinese (? probably) phones, re-branded them, then re-sold them to the Whoop company, which re-branded them and sold them to the Hema chain of supermarkets, which sells them to consumers as the Whoop Echo. Supply chain management FTW! |
