Android Speed Woes

[J. Landman Gay]

I'd say it's the phone. The Moto G5 has a budget processor and an old 
version of Android OS. An iPhoneX is newer and much faster so it isn't 
really a fair comparison. My Pixel has a much faster processor running 
the latest OS and is quite snappy; my Samsung S5 is old and slow and 
responds as such.

I develop with my Pixel and test with the Samsung to see how bad it 
gets. The up side is that users of older or budget phones are used to 
the response times and may not notice. But if you can find a higher-end 
test device, it's useful to compare.
