Android phone manufacturers blindly push their hardware specifications--multi-core processors with weak individual cores. They promise the moon and deliver this. This is a test to see whether they are able to deliver. As a participant pointed out in the linked discussion, as a user I am used to the speed (or slowness) of my phone, so it doesn't matter much daily unless it is clearly slower than all other activities (my friends old Samsung takes a seconds to register each touch but he is okay with it but after trying a faster phone he fully realises what is possible)
As an Android user (Xiaomi Mi 3, Moto G) I never understood why some people were comparing the hardware specification of iPhone with the Galxys and acting all superior. I always felt they should instead focus on the performance of the two systems.
Apple's devices are snappier than Android in general (yes, even at the same price range)--time for smoothly loading background apps is the biggest noticeable event that I experience daily. But I will continue to be a Android user because I like having three buttons, not much concerned about the quality of the available apps, the customisability of the OS and ease of transferring content to other phones and to my computer etc.
Android manufacturers need to get their stuff together.
