I think vnvman said it best in that you grow accustomed to the lag to the point that it almost doesn't exist to you. I power on a gs2bnib or with a fresh rom on it and it's a repeated curbstomp after growing accustomed to wp7.

I've had non android users use my phone and love it, one had heard android was slow so wanted to see how slow and said he couldn't see the problem.

You can say its just us android users getting used to lag but if that is the case what about ios users who have switched to android and love it?

Why is it if an android user says its not lagging some people say its just we have got used to it? No offence but the ui of a modern decent android really isn't the lag fest some seem to claim it is.

In terms of hardware acceleration, the gs2 is still as good as it gets and that's still slow when compared to wp7 or iOS. Brand new out of the box gs2 lagged too much for me, same when I flashed the cleanest ics rom on it. It's just an ill-optimized OS.

I do agree on WP7 being smoother than Android, smoother to me than iOS also.

Don't get me wrong..I prefer Android but I admit that out of the box..WP7 is a better OS than both Android and iOS.

Out of the box? Thats highly subjective.

For example when I had my HD7, when I first got it, out of the box was just horrible. I had to unlock it just to change search providers and get more theme colors, ringtones etc...

Thus is funny. When I first used android I felt no lag. It was only once I got used to it that I ever thought I noticed lag, but seriously, how can you base the quality of an os on how many frames per second it can scroll homescreens? That is silly. The true quality of an os, is all the other things it can do, like displaying live widgets and wallpaper all while keeping you're apps ruining in the background while scrolling the screens. Or playing a flash video when one appears. I can deal with a millisecond of so called lag when I'm streaming music from my phone to my stereo via WiFi while surfing the internet, playing draw something, and getting directions to somewhere in Google maps, all while posting on XDA

Bump for Part 5 and final episode, I appreciate all of the positive feedback you guys gave and was the reason why I decided to finish the series. Thanks again to XDA community and the awesome (most of them) members that it has. Please share these videos with everyone!

IPad is the best tablet? What about the Asus transformer 300/prime? That's what I'm planning to buy....
Or do people think the Dell inspiron duo is better?

I can agree that iOS can feel smoother on some few thing over Android, but Samsung Galaxy S II runs circles around the iPhone 4S when it comes to pure power and on how fast it is to load things and that.

WP7 is also silky smooth, but that doesn't help when the WP7 OS isn't even near by a freaking 10000 mile radius to the functionality and the freedom Android have.

I'll rather have some micro stuttering some few times here and there on Android rather than being locked into a brutal failure jail where Apple controls you and your phone TOTALLY.

I see the potentional in WP8, but it's not quite yet there yet where Android is now.

Yes, i runs an Android 4.0.4 AOKP ROM on my Galaxy Note now as you can see in my signature. And nothing beats it when it comes to what that device can do and do with the S-Pen with such a ROM.

So the freedom to decide 100% over your own device and to have the good and handy functionality today on a smartphone like a Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note usually is way more important to have over an OS that just runs 3% smoother than Android.

EDIT: And don't even talk about that an iPhone 4 / 4S is sooooooo good for gaming. Because who in the freaking name of jesus wants to sit on a tiny small screen and do gaming?

That's like saying gaming on a 15-inch PC screen is cool and funny.

well ppl are buying ipods and iphones for gaming so it has to be good. Look at all the games IOS has compared to Android. Android can't even touch the amount of games and quality of the games IOS has.

I still disagree. But I've come to the point where I'd like to agree to disagree with ya

All in all. No OS out there is perfect for everybody. Android if full of choice, iOS is for the direct support/maintenance, and WP7....is for people who like Microsoft

no no jkjk. Don't take that last part seriously lol.

Who wants to game on a 4.3 inch screen? It's truly not much better but I enjoy both. Android has nothing I envy aside from the ability to torrent, iOS has games. Fortunately, Nokia is helping there.

But try gaming on a 5.3 inch screen instead then. The experience you get by playing games on a Galaxy Note is like a dream has come true compared to what you get from an iPhone.

0.8 more inches from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S II is something you WILL see a BIG difference on.

played on both, iPhone is better. Slightly bigger size doesn't compensate for lesser quality.

You guys are feeding a known troll, regardless of what you say, he will say the opposite.

He says Nokia is helping in the gaming department but he doesnt mention that those are very old games and still will be played on a 4.3 inch screen, but then he says the iphone is better, although gaming on a 4.3 is bad he rather play on a 3.5.

Don't feed the guy, he will just say the exact opposite.

It's a cell phone, I don't expect a fully fleshed out MMO. Something like Infinity Blade would be nice, but most other good apps and games are EA which Nokia struck a deal with. As a whole, I game on the 3.7 inch screen of the 800 more than my daily driver the 900, it's easier to hold for games like dodonpachi max and the curved glass just feels better. The size of the screen is almost invalid when compared to the quality of the game. I never said gaming on a 3.5 was better, just that it's not a definitive enough difference to sell over game quality.

I know that iOS and Android fanboys are sometimes irational, but god damn WP fanboys are delusional most of the time.

"Apples and Oranges"

To each of its own. I've been on ios for awhile but recently switched to android and so far so good...I love how you can customize every way possible. I have to says IOS is very friendly compared to Android IMO

I for example don't play heavy games. I like bowling, chess, angry birds etc. And i am tellin ya, it is an amazing pleasure to play them on 4,7 inch screen! You say quality....what quality on 3,5 inch man? If you wanna quality go and hit it hard on 40 inch plasma

It is not about the gaming. It is the user expirience. If i can make whatever i want with it, it's awsome. Lag is hardly to see on the device what so ever.
But hey, that's your choice and if you are happy that's fine. Don't troll arround and pull the leg of the lion hahahahahaha
