Narrowing the Native Gap
summary
Compares HTML5, native (AV player on iOS, exoplayer on Android) and a hybrid using native playback with an HTML5 UI, with measured metrics rather than promises: iPad Mini 4 testbed playing a 4.8 Mbps 1080p H.264 stream shows HTML5 has the highest CPU and slowest startup, native has the lowest CPU and fastest startup, and the hybrid nearly matches native for CPU and startup while retaining native-only features like DRM and sensor access.
