I can agree somewhat to this... Navigating on my low end Coolpad Arise 5560S is about as fast as my Moto X Pure Edition. However, running more intensive apps or doing heavy multitasking can slow down my Arise faster than my Moto X.

Another thing, months ago my Arise was beginning to get so slow that it was almost barely usable. It was just about full (over 95% used in internal storage, but it's only 4GB and I have it around 90% normally without problems), so I thought maybe that was the problem. So I used Clean Master and cleaned the cache, junk, ect. and still bad performance. I noticed that the *CM Suite Of Tools* (Clean Master, Battery Doctor, CM Security) were getting more bloated with cross features and obtrusive advertising in updates. So I just decided that it maybe was doing more harm than good for my phone, and uninstalled them. I couldn't of been more right! My Arise is now very snappy despite the low end specs. I now use SD Maid and Root Cleaner, Greenify, and no antivirus (since they're perhaps not as useful as they could be due to the sandboxing of android). I also found that fstrim can be very powerful at killing lag, and I now use it also.

As for my app TextCryptr Pro, it works with any app. You encrypt the message, copy and paste to where you want and then send or post. To the majority (who don't have the password) it's just jumbled text. If you have the password, you copy the message that was sent and paste it into the app and type the proper password and press decrypt. You will then have the message. In fact, you can even encrypt a message and copy the jumbled text by hand to paper and mail it (the post office sometimes opens mail, but if they open your message to read it they wont understand it)! My app works off of the one time pad method. Use a password once, send your message to your recipients, then never use that password again. So if your password does get leaked, the person won't be able to get your next message cause it would be using a new password. I've thought about making a video demonstrating my app with some friends, just to show how effective this way of sending messages works.

I'm kind of a Samsung fan myself. They tend to have the neatest features and a microSD slot (which they learned the hard way to not remove). Years ago before I graduated High School, I got my first tablet. It was a Nextbook 7" from Hastings and ran Android 2.3. I liked it, but the screen died out on it. I didn't do anything to it, no rooting, nothing. A few years later I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012, and I loved it. The S-pen was awesome for taking notes in my college course. It had Android 4.3 (which at the time the stock android did not have the Quick Settings in the notifications), so I enjoyed what they did with Touch Wiz (adding quick settings, ect.). The bloatware wasn't to bad, but I could disable most of it. It failed to get the update love from Samsung though, so I put CyanogenMod on it. It's now running 5.1 Lollipop.

I got a Tracfone Samsung Centura 2 years ago.. I have since then upgraded to a Moto X Pure Edition 2015. The Centura was a low end phone, It was ok , slow sometimes; but hey the phone never had hardware failures! It was then rooted and had a custom recovery installed on it and flashed with AreaRom 51...
