Puffin Cloud Phone

Puffin Cloud Phone is predominantly distributed as a pre-installed app by phone manufacturers. It is released on Google Play Store to facilitate app updates. For users without Puffin Cloud Phone pre-installed, a paid subscription is required as a barrier and reminder that the app is not for them. Puffin Cloud Phone is a game changer to bridge the digital divide. Puffin Cloud Phone has a unique architecture to run virtual phones in the cloud. The apps on a virtual phone are Web Apps in the cloud. It separates a full browser into two halves: Display Rasterization on the device and HTML Rendering in the cloud. The client side is very lean and mean, accounting for only 5% of the code. The server side has a large feature set, accounting for the remaining 95%. Web App performance is primarily determined by the cloud servers rather than the client devices. Puffin Cloud Phone can deliver a premium mobile experience on a budget smartphone. ==== Limitations ==== • Puffin Cloud Phone does NOT support Adobe Flash. The only Puffin app on Android supporting Adobe Flash is the legacy Puffin Web Browser. • Puffin’s servers are located in the US and Singapore. Geolocation restrictions of the content may occur if you are based in other countries. • Puffin is blocked in some countries (e.g., China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and some educational institutions (e.g., schools in the United States).
