Medium sends out an e-mail with hand selected stories every week though and I find myself reading a couple quite often though. That's much less likely to happen with your own blog.

For what it's worth, Android also uses a lot of BSD userspace code (see toolbox).

The Nexus 5 should have much better touch response times compared to every Android device on that list. It isn't quite as quick as the iPhone 5, but I suspect it would beat out the iPhone 4.

VSync is a related concept, but not quite what's going on here. You have to relayout before the next VSync if you want the drawn frame to be "correct", but you also might need to relayout before this (if you read dimensions

The GPU can matter as well. On the Nexus 10, for example, the fill rate is pretty low compared to the screen size, so applications have to be very very careful not to exceed the limit or they'll end up adding frames of latency (which l

I mean, fundamentally it's both. Touch controllers and their firmware can add 15-45ms of latency based on their technology (hardware) and the quality of their filtering in the firmware (software). On the other side of the spectrum it&#

iOS latency is still well above what's noticable by human perception. Tack on to that all of the delays you get once you're running a newer version of iOS on older devices (which I suspect is the majority of people using Apple pro

Human perception can notice anything above about 15ms of latency. If you want to easily see the touch latency on your phone and have an Android phone, go into developer options and turn on Show Touches. It's pretty readily apparent onc

Touch processing adds somewhere in the ballpark of 15-45ms of latency depending on the technology used in the screen and the quality of filtering in the touch controller. Anything about ~20ms of latency (total from touch to display) is perc
