Is there a way to fix touch latency on the S10+?

I'm curious also

Just curious, which Android phones have you used?

Probably something form the Jellybean era. Maybe the "jelly-like" mention was an unconscious slip of the tongue.

If you using iPhone for a while. It will be very hard to change it to Android phone with bad latency. Everything on Android will be jelly-like.

I've use both at the same time for about five years, various iPhones and Androids, and have never found that.

Just curious, which Android phones have you used?

List:
HTC One X
Moto Razr I
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro
HTC One M7
HTC One M8
Xiaomi Mi A1
Redmi 8
Redmi K20

I can say that just HTC One M8 from Android world has really good screen latency witch is comparable with iPhone. Not the same good but comparable at least.
For me it’s a big problem. Maybe it depends individually on human eyes. I can see deference. But most people can’t. I can’t judge you. Maybe it’s just something biological

Re: Is there a way to fix touch latency?

Hmm. Not a particularly impressive list of devices. Of those phones, the most recent ones have budget to midrange specs (the K20 has a Snapdragon 730, the Redmi 8 an anemic Snapdragon 439, and the Mi A1 a Snapdragon 625). None of those phones has what would be considered a flagship processor (i.e., something in the Snapdragon 8xx line). I'd guess that if you tried using a phone that's comparable in specs and price to the iPhone, like the Pixel, any recent Samsung flagship, or the latest OnePlus phone, this lag of which you speak would be a distant memory. But I realize there's no point in trying to convince you, since you think it's something biological, so continue to enjoy your iPhones, and we'll continue to enjoy our many and varied Android devices.

No wonder olekus feels this way ...

Re: Is there a way to fix touch latency?

I don't understand how iphones still up to this date is so much better in this area. Always when I've used an Android for a few weeks and then start using an iPhone I clearly feel the difference in scrolling and playing games etc. Why is it so hard to achieve the same low latency on the Android-side?

What specific phones are you referring to? Older Android OS maybe.

Well, you are talking about very old and/or cheap Android devices. I'd recommend to try something more recent and with better specs and see if you still feel the same way.

The thing about Android is that there are hundreds of different models that give you the chance to better suit your needs, preferences and budget. That's good, I think, and you can get pretty decent devices for a reasonable price. The problem is if you try to compare mid-rangers with flagships or talk about Android as a whole from your experience with budget devices.

So you haven't compared any recent devices or devices with decent specs.

It's kind of like comparing the original GM EV-1 with a Tesla.

I don't know anyone who can afford a Tesla

Re: Is there a way to fix touch latency?

Guys, I have to agree with @mustang7757. I came from an IPhone SE to a Galaxy S10e and a I found a huge difference on the screen/touch latency, specially scrolling webpages and playing shooting games. I didn't understand why there is this latency, so I was searching for a "cure" and end up here.
Anyone knows how to improve that? I feel that there are ~100ms+ input latency.

Hi, welcome!
I think you misunderstood me ,my andriod phones I'm not experiencing it , you can enable the developer settings and turn animations to .5

Hey, thanks. I misreferred your name in my post. I was referring to @olekus. But I'll try your suggestion on my S10 tho. Thanks

No problem , your welcome

Re: Is there a way to fix touch latency?

The first thing I do with a new android phone is to enable developer options and turn all the animations to 0.5 as it really makes a difference.

How did you measure it ?

Hi, I didn't. It was just a feeling. But it's definitely not lower than 100ms.

No problem , your welcome

Hey, I r3duced animations to 0.5, it helped on the menu navigations, but it doesn't affect scrolling and gaming. The input lag it's still present.

It wouldn't. Reducing the animations scale is like watching a video normally vs watching in fast forward. It doesn't actually change the underlying performance of the phone and only affects certain actions, as you've seen. I'm not aware of any way to fix the latency itself, other than trying a better phone.

It's a high end phone so I'm not sure what would be better. I never notice touch latency and I'm not clear on how it really impacts the user experience.
