That doesn't explain why android is choppy in every menu and app. I have some very complex apps that are buttery smooth. Android is unresponsive and choppy in every app.

Dude /watch?v=NPZ65wOA5kE and skip to 6:10

It works man :p

Don't wanna troll but isn't this a mismatch? Multicore vs single/dual? Great video and ui dude!

@tbor1277

Valid point, but I guess this is just to show the progress of android as a whole. I have no doubts that the galaxy note will be just as smooth!

[MrMotismo]

I actually almost bought a galaxy nexus. I even made sure gpu rendering was forced. Then I went and played with the iPhone and back to back the iPhone was still noticeably more responsive and smooth. I also had ics on my fascinate and it was nowhere near iOS smooth. There are a lot of things android does well, smooth is not one of them. Even with ics and a dual core processor.

@MrMotismo Cause the Gpu acceleration mode has'nt been enable untill ICS. Runs very smooth considering its only using cpu for all its tasks/multitask and multitasking it does indeed.

@deyvit25 Oh yea with a max resolution off 800x400 and no "real" support for dualcore processors, not mention what kinda movies you can play on it.. Or even game for that matter. You are damn right your windows phone must be kicking ass, getting one right now.

[bionegative83]

@MrMotismo Yeah but lets see hmm, Iphone only have icons to render. - Wait it must be more.. No its basicly just icons for everything. Its a wallpaper and icon,, icon icon. That must be very intensence for cpu gpu?. Windows hmm, black backgrounds and text. Yey thats must be really hard too. Dont forget the squares oh i mean tiles :D

[deyvit25]

Android sucks! Even if is smooth or not, never is gonna be better than windows phone...

[MrMotismo]

And anyone claiming their android phone is as smooth as the iPhone or windows phone is delusional. I just ditched my android device after a year of rooting and over clocking it was never as responsive as my new 4s. At the time it felt like it, but trust me even clocked to 1.5 ghz and running cm7 or miui it wasn't this smooth

[MrMotismo]

And all it took was a monster quad core processor. Way to go android....oh wait apple and wp7 got there with single core processors and less than a gig of ram.
