Hardly, the Nexus 7 is part of Google's current flagship range- the devices should perform comparably.
Your definition of performing well is vastly skewed. First, there are no real numbers for the difference in screen time response. The closest we've calculated via highly unscientific methods on these forums is roughly 30 milliseconds of difference, give or take. You are scrutinizing 30 milliseconds of difference to deem performance is unwell. Hey, if those 30 milliseconds are that important to you, I've said it a number of times, all good, mate. But it's 30 milliseconds you're bickering over to declare an OS as "wrong." I've mentioned a number of times, the list of reasons iOS users are defending have grown short, and nitpicky.
Those numbers were plucked out of thin air, based on the estimates of a poster here! I very highly doubt the difference is only 30 seconds, given that I often experience
visible lag and slowdowns. And that's just in the OS, in numerous apps (with one key one being the browser) the response time is even worse.
Second, stop pretending iOS doesn't lag or have poor response times every now and then.
I've never pretended it doesn't, I owned a 3GS running iOS 5!
Typing on iOS is a major demonstration of lag. I've had constant miss keys, unregistered taps (even though the letter has clearly 'greyed' to show that it's a tap); I've had icons do the same too, where I tap to launch an app, and the app icon turns grey, but it doesn't actually launch it. I have to tap it again to actually have it launch. There's tons more instances of lag, sometimes with trying to unlock the screen, sometimes with opening folders, or swiping left to the search bar (there's almost always a slight stutter).
I don't know about you, but the only time I've experienced typing lag on iOS was when I updated my 3GS to iOS 5- never experienced it on my girlfriend's 4S and never on my iPhone 5. I have experienced a few instances of lag opening an app on my 3GS running iOS 5, but it's a device from 2009 running an OS from 2011, I'll cut the poor thing some slack- it's not like it's a device in Google's current flagship range, released this year and running the latest OS.
They're two different devices with different specs? Is it that surprising they might offer varying results?
Yes! They're both devices in Google's current flagship range, Google should be aiming to provide a consistent experience between their devices, and not simply be happy that one of their devices doesn't lag while the rest aren't cutting it.
(EDIT: 30 milliseconds is .03 of a second! Even if this is accurate, this is laughable. This just reminds me how silly I am to be trying to convine you how and why .03 seconds isn't a deal breaker. This will be my last response to you regarding this topic. Really, best of luck. No hard feelings, mate.)
As I said, you're blowing up over a figure a poster on here plucked out of thin air, I very highly doubt that's the real figure.
If that's the last thing you want to post to me, no worries. I'm just trying to help out potential buyers who are reading these threads, trying to get an idea of how different devices perform. There's a whole lot of Android love on here, without much discussion of its very real, still very prominent flaws. Even if you ignore the performance problems, I've detailed and given examples of the poor app selection and poor app performance (which is just awful for Australians) and given examples of how iOS has a much more consistent UI (barring the split settings locations
). Before getting the N7, I never expected to be posting what I'm posting, but I gave Android a good go and it's lacking in the basics. My recommendation would be to get a device with an OS made by Apple or Microsoft- they both make a far higher quality OS.
Btw, just to show that I actually do own a Nexus 7, I attached a picture of the boxes of my 3GS, N7 and iPhone 5.
