[b]UC Browser 7.4: keep mobile browsing beautiful

The UC Browser, 7.4 seems totally a new browser for us. It’s a new player in mobile browser
market, competing with Opera Mini, Skyfire and Bolt. Opera mini has its attracting features to me,
and so is UC Browser. I like its fast download and powerful settings which I can make the browser
fully for my personal habits, such as the power shortcut system, the text space in the pages,
content folding … All is for you to set them as you like.

Although there are several functions that I want don’t appear in this version, but I still think it
deserves you to have a try.

“As our users are booming all over the world, our servers are managing much more requests than
ever before. We have increased our server groups.” The super moderator in UC Forum writes.
I have posted in the UC Forum many time referring about visiting problems, finally they heard and
add servers for it. Now I feel faster than ever before.

“We also optimized our webpage management technology for better displaying webpages on mobile phones.”
the super moderator continues, “in this new version ,we have provided better
support of WAP2.0, an advanced standard for mobile sites. More elements in the webpages can
be displayed on mobile browser.” I’ve tested for Yahoo and Songs.pk, you can see the screenshots,
I think it’s a real progress for UC Browser.

With this improvement, I can now make the “Adaptive View”, sort of “Mobile View” in Opera Mini,
to become my daily browsing choice. In this mode, the internet becomes really mobile for me.

In “Zoom Mode”, webpages are just for 15 inch or bigger computer screens, how could they be
good if they are displayed full in a 4.3 inch (even smaller) mobile phone screen? I don’t want
to zoom in and out continuously to find the content I am interested.

While in adaptive view, I can check all the content displayed “adaptive” on the screen,
whether it is big or small. Now you can see clearly from my screenshots that in Mobile View mode,
UC Browser displays the webpage better than Opera Mini


Another obvious change is the new design of navigation area. The “My Shortcuts” and totally
new navigation area on the home screen really attract my eyes once I update from 7.2. It’s nice
and kind of “Speed Dial” in Opera Mini. But it’s not the same as Opera Mini;
UC Browser provides this function in its own style.

As it is named, “My Shortcuts” is a collection of most visited sites. These sites will appear in it
automatically according to the visiting history. I can also make them sticky all the time too.
The new navigation area is now rearranged in a much better way. With two columns, all the sites are
listed within categories. Each category with lead you to a page contain many similar sites you might like.
But I find there are some mistakes on sites and name spelling a few days ago,
but they disappear now. Maybe the UC Team is adjusting this new feature.

12 popular sites are picked as icon links just beneath the “My Shortcuts” to make us easy to visit.
There are sites I used most of the time, such as Google, Dantri and Yahoo; there are also sites
I can download ringtones or apps such as GetJar and 1Mobile. Forget about typing address to
visit sites, most sites you interested will appear in your hands after about 3 clicks under this new design.

There are some other features in UC Browser can meet your various needs while browsing,
such as its famous download, supporting breakpoint transmission and multi-thread; save and share
function enables you share pages by SMS; and the amazing night mode, which can make me
enjoy browsing at night without disturbing my roommate’s sleep.

Try it for a couple of time, and I bet you’ll find it is a nice choice for you as me. I think it is in the
same line with Opera Mini now.

New Updated Info

Face to Face: Interface design between UC Browser 7.4 and Opera Mini 5.1

As you may know, about half a month ago, the old brand UC Browser and Opera Mini have
both recently released new version for Symbian. I have tried them and get amazing experience. The UC
Browser 7.4 now looks like a wholly new designed mobile browser. That let me think of Opera Mini 5.1
also subvert its 4.x interface design.

Opera Mini has an interesting function, Speed Dial. With 9 customizable sites directing to any web page.
Now UC Browser gives its answer - the renewed navigation different than ever. Not only can I
select any site by clicking its icon or title, but also choose my favorite site and put into My
Shortcuts(UC's implementation of Speed Dial). My Shortcuts have 8 block, while Speed Dial has 9.
While UC Browser has both system of traditional Navigation Bar and Bookmarks, Opera Mini give
them all in its Bookmarks. Considering UC Browser is almost the only browser have these site links
besides Speed Dial and Bookmark, it keeps me from inputting URL all the time.

The Quick Links design makes a good feature that I can see them both horizon and vertical and quickly
find where I want to go. This give more freedom for me. So Opera Mini picks a similar mode to calculate
my definition, which depends on my choice.

UC's Navigation

While the navigation bar of UC Browser is becoming navigation square, the Cursor Mode has replaced
the Common to become the default Operation Mode, what makes the browser more similar to
the desktop browser. At contrast, Opera Mini performs on the desktop view as well as before, because they
have the experience of product a real desktop browser.

However, in UC Browser, the cursor mode can be still found at the adaptive view, which is more or less
better than ever. Opera Mini has less competitive in that mode, which they call Mobile view. The reason
maybe OBML is designed for desktop, and UHTM is designed for mobile. As they say, UC Browser can
display WML and XHTML directly, but Opera Mini cannot.

After I download the English version, a different starting page is there to choose the region to belong.
That means all people in the world now using the same version, and the UC server may detect what
sites he want to go.

Opera Mini just released Symbian version several days ago, so it cannot yet be a hard threat to UC Browser,
for the latter has many features the former hasn't. For example, the most stable download manager
I ever seen on a handset, an uploading system when I access some forum, and so many browser mode,
such as Night Mode and the Free Copy function.

Night Mode

Yes, the last one is what I want to emphasize. After some months, the Free Copy comes back to Symbian.
Free Copy was a great adventure in UC Browser, but it was once removed from UC Browser 7.2. Now,
I can select any part of a web page, and copy to my clipboard, it seems let me copy everything on the web to
my phone, so excited! Compared with Opera Mini, whose copy and paste is limited to the operating system,
but no pictures and text mashup.

Nevertheless, the UC Browser has a new feedback interface, this interface is catching up with its
competitors, Opera Bug Report Wizard, which yet cannot be found in Opera Mini.

I'd glad to introduce these two browser to you. If you have just used one of them,
you should try the other to find some different things.
