What are you doing on your phone where performance matters, or what Android phone are you comparing to a relatively new iPhone?

I have a 2 year old mid-level Android and have had 0 performance issues or crashes (aside from Android Auto).

Browsing the web, using normal apps. Things are just snappier on iOS in my experience. It is not a big deal. But it is one area that android could be improved.

Android phones seem to know when you're in an urgent situation.

Need a quick photo? Is maps giving you a direction? Oh let me freeze up! Let me hide the soft keyboard until you restart! Let me get into a bootloop!

Just using Google maps was super slow on my flagship galaxy phone compared to an iPhone SE.

Or rather, stuttering was the bigger problem in those cases. I’m sure the geek scores were similiar in raw performance
