When I try Android phone you feel your really pressing and touching a screen where as Apple iPhones you feel more comfertable than old keypad phones.

I've found this since the days of the 3GS. The screen is always lighter and more responsive.

Anybody else find this?
 
I guess its because hardware and software companies are not same. Have you tried Pixel its from Google, is it also laggy?

Nope not these days
 
Its inevitable when you have one company making the hardware and another doing the software for the device. Kind of like Windows. They'll probably never be able to get quite as smooth and responsive as iOS.
 
I love my iPhone 7 Plus, but I have an older Android, the OnePlus One, and its touch screen seems just as sensitive as the one on my iPhone. You're not using a Blackberry Storm, are you?

I find a lot of the touchscreens to be very similar in reaction. I guess I really don't know what to define as not as responsive.

Oh gawd I remember the Storm. It had that weird clicky touch screen. Truly terrible phone looking back, but seemed innovative when it was released.

Definitely true back in the day. Android even addressed the lag with "project butter" only a few years ago. Little did they realize the failure in having to have such. A project.

Anyone that didn't flash roms has no idea the amount of work by third party debts to make android smooth.

These days they seem to be fine.

Predominantly cheap underpowered android phones are the most sold. If you put a comparable flagship iOS device next to a comparable Android device the differences are minimal.
 
I have noticed this also. I don't know if it is necessarily the screen as most phone screens are very similar these days, but I think it could be the way Android does it's animations. It does seem to react slower to most touches.
