When people talk about Android touchscreens feeling unresponsive, it's probably this kind of thing, from The Verge's review of the Nexus 5.

“Speaking of rendering, the old bugbear of Android has always been scrolling performance. Especially in Chrome, there's always been a sense of lag that seemed completely out of place on top-tier devices. On the Nexus 5, we're very sad to report that the situation doesn't seem any better. There is still not a one-to-one relationship between your finger and the screen, and it's still crazy-making.”
My brother's old Galaxy S3 had this issue, and so does his brand new Xperia Z1. My friend's Nexus 4 is the same. When I was away on some training recently, I had a chance to use a Nexus 7, and the scrolling on that was just awful - really juddery.
