Is this screen lag still apparent on the N4?

It appears on web pages it is laggy.. Not super smooth.

Like if you were to flip thru a book really fast lol.

Although this could be do to the browser..

I'm fling to test a few browser's & report back lol

The degree people goto to find a problem is pretty sad sometimes
I think it's just hard to show on video at a normal frame rate. When I drag the notifications bat down on my galaxy note there is considerable touchscreen lag compared to if I was using an iPhone, the screen is always trying to play catch up and doesn't do a great job of it.

It was filmed using an s3 which i thought would be comparable to the N4. If this is solved on the nexus then great!

On idevices, the web page is like glued on fingers, especially when you zoom, on android, there is like a micro delay, but its not a problem at all.

When you open and close the statut bar fastly, you can see this delay, If you enable "show touch" under developer setting, you see that the cursor isn't under you finger when you move et. But you see this delay if you move fastly and on in long surface (when opening the statut bar from the top to the bottom of the screen)

This is a good example of what I'm taking about. If you swipe down the notification bar of an iPhone and then an android device then you'll see what I'm talking about.

If that's a big deal breaker tho. Then just stick with iOS ?

Their is multiple things iOS & Android have superior to each other.

To me it's really not a big deal. Yet hardly noticeable!

I catch the drift, but still its something I can't notice during normal operation. If its that big of an issue I would stay with iOS then. Why not just use your phone instead of trying to do every operation as fast as humanly possible?

I've got a Galaxy Note and have never had an iOS device, but whenever I try one that is the one thing that I envy. The whole experience just becomes more connected. The nexus 4 might be closer in terms of the iPhones screen latency, but the Galaxy Note is a mile away.

I know what you are talking about, although I would put it under general responsiveness, and on every other android device I've owned it's been noticeable...it just isn't on the n4.

The N4 is a lot better than the S3 in the video you showed. It's still not as smooth as iOS but it's definitely not noticeable at all unless you're specifically looking for it. Oddly enough, pulling down the notification tray is actually a lot further behind the finger for me than the browser, but I usually just flick from the top to pull it down rather than a full swipe anyway.

The nexus 4 is Noticeable faster & smother than My friends Note 2.

But the nexus is the only android I haven't had issues with . like this process has stopped unexpectedly etc
