UCWeb has announced three key updates on their three new UC Browser versions for Android mobile devices: UC Browser 9.5 for Android, UC Browser Mini 9.0, and UC Browser HD 2.6 for Android Tablet. With these updates, UCWeb aims to provide optimum mobile browsing experience to all Android users, no matter their devices’ screen size or hardware capabilities.
UC Browser 9.5 for Android now has the fastest download speed , and the users can download 15% faster on 3G and Wi-Fi compared with the previous version of the browser. Performance on 2G networks has also been accelerated to provide users with a smoother browsing experience. The browser is also now more convenient to use. The Homescreen Widget gives users quick access to UC Browser functions, such as search, download, settings, Facebook and so on, without needing to first open the browser.
Also new in UC Browser 9.5 is the Web Application Center, which provides users with a catalogue of HTML5 supported web apps that can be added to the Speed Dial. Compared to normal apps, these web apps do not require downloading, installation or updating; they can simply be added and used immediately. In addition, for improved localization and webpage display, there is now greater support for regional languages and fonts on web pages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and more. If the user’s phone does not support certain regional languages, UC Browser will automatically install them when browsing web pages containing such languages.
UC Browser Mini 9.0 is useful to users of Android phones with lower specs and less storage space. Version 9.0 comes with a tiny installation package of only around 1MB, and brings an improved homepage that includes UC Links, Top Sites, and the user’s Most Visited web pages, allowing users to access more directly from their homepage. Furthermore, by long pressing and dragging their Speed Dial icons, users can now organize these icons into folders for quick arrangement. UC Browser Mini 9.0 will shortly be available on Google Play.
UC Browser HD 2.6, available on Android tablets and large screen Android phones, has now more aesthetic user interface design, ad blocking capability, and improved search. The browser’s look has been completely redesigned to be more simple and pleasing to the eye. Icons on the new speed dial automatically adapts its background color to match the website’s color scheme, giving users a more intuitive interface.
