Completely agree - I'm an Android fan, but it is unbelievable that the performance is still such an issue. Even the Nexus 6P drops frames quite regularly, and that's even with it doing much simpler animations than is common on iOS. You can see this with the Material Design specs as well - the rendered demo videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TXgCzxEnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TXgCzxEnw ) from the Design team are amazing, but what's actually been implemented on Android is far less sophisticated and even then they frequently skip frames. Interestingly, many of the Google apps are much closer to the Design specs and perform better on iOS and even on the web, at least in Chrome. Hopefully this will finally be resolved with the Chrome OS merge (Chrome OS has great performance) - It must be extremely frustrating for the Google Design teams when they can't implement their designs properly on their own platform.
