Android’s latest release v4.1 AKA Jelly Bean uses a timed vertical sync (vsync) extended so that the processor can detect everything that happens on the screen. Scanning occurs in 16 milliseconds and ensure that rendering of frames is not anticipated or delayed. The system will use a triple buffering technology for graphics rendering. This means that everything will be smoother, since the scroll on the screen until the animations. Android 4.1 reduces latency in touch commands to sync with vsync and also to predict their movements. The OS forces the CPU to anticipate their actions, ensuring that nothing will result in delays.
