Is Android Laggy? Video Says Yes

[Big Ry]

How do we know this "lag" isn't part of Google's design? It seems so perfectly elastic, I always just assumed that it was a feature of androids GUI.

When I think of lag, I think of choppy transitions between screens ala OG.

Lmao this guy is a joke. I have ZERO issues that are exhibited in this guy's video. I have turned off all animations. Not sure if that matters. Clearly, this guy would b*tch about a

If people consider that lag, they're just nitpicking now.

I was using a Droid Razr at the verizon store last week and i did notice that the lag was barely there compared to my DroidX. However, I almost want to say that is how they want it to me. Almost like giving the touch command and then doing it so when we remove our finger, we can see it move. Either way, I have no issue with it and never considered it an issue.

Mine doesn't do it as bad as his. Its basically nonexistent compared to his phone. I should make a dem video in response. My next seems to respond pretty quickly.

The fact that there I'd no show touckes features on the iPhone probably masks the same type of following effect he demod

Tried to emulate on my Razr. NO LAG! :icon_ lala:

Yea, in my experience the naked OS without any apps runs extremely well but once you start added apps the resources dwindle and the performance degrades. Then the silly manufactures decided to add their own custom UI over top of the OS which is bound to create problems and lag. It also seems to me that when you're just tinkering with your phone it works great but when you really need it to work under pressure and time sensitive occasions that's when the lag and other bugs start to surface.

Of course there is no lag on iPhone, it's just a row of icons and folders.

Start adding widgets or live tiles, and then the whole thing becomes more complex

Except there is some lag on the iPhone, I laughed out loud when watching the vid.

"Look at all the lag on his Gnex and then see the iPhone doesn't have any lag, oh, er, it does.

I agree. I don't care about this kind of lag. I care about the general overall lagginess of Android devices. Be it typing or swiping screens, the lag hits occasionally and draws me out of the experience.

What my eyes saw was a dude wearing a green apple on his shirt, doing an infommercial for how much better the iphone works between screens and using a gimmick to make it appear that the iphone was faster.
Had he been able to test the trace on an iphone while moving his finger in circles on a blank homescreen, no wait an iphone CAN'T do that, the lag would have been virtually the same. It was like those commecials that show 1 paper towel wipes up more than the other by slight of hand in the way they move the paper towels. When doing the same side to side I saw virtually the same lag on both. It wasn't until he pulled the touch test that it seemed worse on the Nex but there was no attempt on the iphone to do the same test.
I don't trust a guy with a Steve Jobs look beard and wearing a green apple on their shirt to be unbiased anyway

I think he's just an i-fan boy! LOL. Rockin' my Rezound, with no noticeable lag. Non-issue to me.

 

[alboboy10]

It is. But there's been a huge improvement with the last phones. I played with the razr and it didn't really lag online. The rezound I haven't had a chance to test. I have the nexus and it doesn't really lag. My friend who has an iPhone tried this out also and says it'd the first android he'd consider because it felt natural
