Browsing the Web is certainly a key feature of any smartphone, so we also conducted some formal speed tests to see how well the Lumia 810 compares to some of today's hottest smartphones.

SunSpider JavaScript benchmark

Web Browser Performance

The Lumia 810 scored exceptionally well in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, edging-out all other phones including the previous leader, the Lumia 920, though the scores are within this test's margin of error.

BrowserMark recently moved to a newer generation of benchmarks, using a new scoring scale as well.

Even though BrowserMark claims the Lumia 810's score of 1930 was superior to 65% of all phone browsers, it still drops in at the bottom, compared to other phones we tested. It will be interesting to see how the scores compare as we get even more WP8 devices in for benchmarking in the coming months and as Nokia's devices mature in terms of software and drivers.
