As the owner of a GN, I'm extremely happy to see how smooth the OS runs on my device. Yet...
I'm still not satisfied. As snappy as the Nexus is compared to other STOCK devices, it's still not as smooth as it should be.
Having owned a Apple device, I'm now realizing how bad the lag has been on other Android devices.
When I read comments on other sites about how Android still isn't as smooth as iOS, I get upset. On these sites, Android enthusiast always claim that their device isn't plagued by these so called laggy problems. But how can that be true?
I've handled a lot of different Android device over the past couple of years,, and I've yet to see even one that doesn't lag. Both phone and tablets.
IMHO, if you claim that your device doesn't experience some form of lag, your lying to yourself. Granted, if you root your device you can overcome this problem very easily. But what about the average users?
Anytime I hear a complaint from a friend, it's usually regarding why the screens hang when swiping. Small problem, right? Wrong!!!
Now don't get it twisted. I've seen my iPad lag. But no where near the degree as I've seen on some Android phones both low spec and high spec, or on flagship devices like the Xoom or Galaxy Tab 10.1.
This is unacceptable. Plain and simple. I shouldn't have to root and mod to get what should be a stock experience.
Of course, you could reason that iOS is so simplistic, that of course is easy to render the graphics quickly.
And you would be right. I agree whole heartedly.
But look at the flip side. As I mentioned earlier, custom ROMS more or less eliminate these issues right? So why aren't these techniques used to begin with to give a smooth experience?
I know I'm coming off as being an Apple lover that's simply trolling. But that isn't it at all.
Truly, I just want the best. And in my opinion, Google can actually deliver just that.
As a community, we blame everyone but the real organization at fault. Google.
Google shouldn't be allowing these OEMs to ship out laggy devices, no matter the price. Just because something's affordable doesn't mean it has to be riddled with flaws. Why can a iPhone 4 with an under locked 1GHz CPU outperform a dual core device when pushing pixels across the home screen, or pinch to zoom with out barely a hiccup?
I know some might disagree. But those of you who can be objective will see the truth in my thoughts. Having captured the smartphone market, it's time to focus on the small things. Optimizing performance. And not just on the Nexus brand. Ensuring quality control across all OEMs.
Alas. I don't see this happening. Google is still just a search company at its core. They spend more time trying to figure out how to push more unwanted ads to us than improving the things that are most important to us end users.
Oh well.....
Who out there feels the same???
