iPhone 5 touchscreen found to be over twice as fast as its Android-based rivals

[Pcsx2006]

Touchscreen latency is the time lag between an input on the screen and the device reacting to it. It affects the user experience directly and a high latency is what causes the perception of lag on devices.

In a test conducted by a company called Agawi, we get to see how some of the current smartphones on the market fare when put in front of a high speed camera shooting at 240fps and a custom built measurement device called Touchscope. They compared the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S4, the Lumia 928, the HTC One and the Moto X. The result, Apple’s devices being way ahead of the rest.


As you can see in the graph above, the iPhone 5 (not the new 5s, mind you, but the last year’s model) is way ahead of its Android based competition. It’s nearest competitor is the iPhone 4, released in 2010, and the nearest Android based rival being the Galaxy S4, with over twice the latency.


This is one of those things that is never mentioned in spec sheets but has a real impact in everyday performance. It’s also why in subjective tests the iOS devices feel much smoother and responsive than Android devices. And now you have actual data to back up these subjective tests.

You know I hear a lot of self-proclaimed tech enthusiasts on PG making fun of those who say 'is ka touch acha hai'. Would love to see their faces right about now. This is the purest, most scientific example of 'is ka touch acha hona' that you'll ever find.

Regardless of the reasons, the conclusion is clear: the best written apps on iPhones will simply feel more responsive than similar apps on the current gen of Android devices. (We speculate this might be a major reason why the iPhone keyboard generally feels better than the Android keyboard to many people.)

That is so true!

50 milliseconds OMFG :tv:

But tell me how does that make the screen smooth? I've heard iPhone fans claim that their screens are smoother to touch :tv:

^ gaming karte rahe ho sari zindagi aur latency ka nae pata? 114ms vs 55ms?

that is true, iPhone's touch response has been better since iphone 2g. it realy is a feature which makes i devices so lag-free.

Input latency has nothing to do with lag, input lag is a completely different thing than what people normally consider lag. Yes iphone has better latency and yes it is noticeable. Actually if you compare a nexus 4 with iphone 5 this is the "only" difference left now between the 2 platforms.
