I had a top of the line samsung, and the _native_ google maps app was slower than a web view google maps on an iphone SE.

I think that there's a lot of stuff about tuning, but the latency story (at least up until 3 or 4 years ago) on Android has been absolutely garbage, no matter what geekbench scores the phones get.

Sony phones and the Google mainline phones seem to work well when I use them though (though ultimately lots of android apps are also just not very good)
