Why? Sure samsung ships a horrible android, but in what things is a clean real android behind iOS?

Are there any android tablets with a decent chip in them? Almost everyone I’ve seen is using a very weak CPU.

The iPad chips just run away from even the top end android tablets. Maybe I wouldn’t care as much but my experience on android tablets is they are just laggy. Slow to open things, little stutters throughout the OS, etc.

1. This was about software, not about the hardware it runs on. 2. Vanilla android runs very, very smooth because the hardware is optimized for the way it works. If the android tablets you saw where laggy, that's most likely because of the abominations android has been warped into by the manufacturer. My android phone is four years old and still buttery smooth.
