Depends how old the phone is and how limited the h/w is though - Android is designed to work in some ridiculously under powered devices.
I highly doubt a top of the line phone like the Galaxy or the Pixel would have issues with input lag.
If anything, I get annoyed by how long animations on iOS take compared to Android. Everything feels like it's running in slow motion.
- cptaj 7y agoApple software is pretty nice with their user experience. But I feel like 90% of this complaint stems from people comparing a $200 Android phone with $1000 iPhone. Happens in laptops too. Its just silly. Go in the same price range and then make a judgement.

- eanzenberg 7y agoThis is a funny comment given the post is a out the cheap SE, starting at $500.
- xnyan 7y agoI have the exact opposite opinion. Don’t take my word for it, grab any Apple phone made in 2017 (worth about 99 bucka today) vs any entry to low mid ($100-400ish) android and the iphone will kick ass in most regards. I long for the freedom of android and use iPhones reluctantly only because i really think they are a good value at almost any price point.
- dash2 7y agoCan confirm. I did this, swapping my old SE for a Moto G7. After a few months, I still miss the iPhone. First, the convenience and care that shows in tiny aspects of the UI design. Second, Siri is usable while OK Google is not - it just fails too often to be worth even trying. I miss being able to use voice control.
- neuronic 7y agoWorse even, you can't pick up a Samsung flagship for trial in the store without the interface stuttering like crazy - at least if you're used to iOS. Same with LG, Sony and others. The only smooth Android I have ever tried was Huawei's and I am reluctant to buy Chinese telco hardware.
- Dylan16807 7y agoA three year old android flagship will also kick ass compared to a new low end android.
- imron 7y ago> Go in the same price range and then make a judgement. You can compare iphone and android performance benchmarks here [0] and here [1]. Apple devices still come out ahead of top of the range models from other manufacturers. Yes I know benchmarks can be gamed and don't mean everything, but there is still a performance difference between top of the line Android models today, vs not only top of the line iPhones, but also iPhones from a couple of years back. 0: https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks 1: https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks
- square_usual 7y agoI have a reasonably top-speced phone - A K20 Pro, with a Snapdragon 855 - and it stutters. It stutters more than the last iPhone I used, a 2016 SE, and I used it until early 2018. The only top of the line phone I found that was responsive and fun to use was OnePlus, and they seem to have made speed and responsiveness their company motto. It's a shame they dropped the headphone jack, because that was my deciding factor for picking the K20, which I find painful to use at times.
- sundvor 7y agoMy Galaxy S20 Ultra has a 120hz display with 240hz input sample rate. It is stunningly gorgeous, and there's simply no input lag.
