Public bug reported: This bug is a bit hard to phrase, because this is not an apples-to- apples comparison, except at the highest level.
BQ report that customers are very unsatisfied with the performance of gallery. They are used to having a place which is a collection of photos on their phone. If they use the same hardware, and keep those photos in the equivalent app on android, performance is much better. I will attach in a comment a video demonstrating the problem Whilst the initial condition is not quite the same, I think the key usability concern is the scroll performance, and the heavy use of the spinner in place of an actual thumbnail. Obviously, there might be many reasons why 'things are slow', but it is a core comparison point between handsets to scroll a collection of the users photos, and this is a core function of gallery. It seems android can deliver this experience with almost no use of placeholders.
