What you said is EXACTLY what bothers me. You have no idea how many people already said the same to me. “If you want better performance buy more expensive tablet”, “it doesn’t bother me too much”, bla bla bla. There is a difference between “not bothering me” and “what is normal”. And no, it’s not normal for this CPU, it should handle this perfectly fine. And when there is a problem, I want to fix it. For Android I found the issue btw already or at least a workaround:
Go to developer options and you will see, that the option “Disable HW overlays” was enabled by Cube as default. I googled about the option, and actually turning it on should give you better performance, but somehow on this device it’s the opposite around. I turned it off and now Android animations are WAY more fluid and smooth. I wonder if there is a problem with the GPU unit of the z8300 or on this specific tablet. Maybe there are some options wrongly set in the bios for the GPU unit, too aggressive battery saving throttling maybe. This would explain slow Windows 10 animations too, because they are hardware (GPU) accelerated.
I also found these settings give performance improvements:
Windows animation scale set to: 0.5x
Transition animation scale set to: 0.5x
Animation duration scale set to: 0.5x
The option “Force GPU rendering” also seems to boost a bit, strangely conflicting with the things I’ve mentioned above.
