    Question New Huawei P Smart 2019 - screen problem(?)

    I think I found the problem: Developer Options > Animator duration scale Value 0 - problem occurs Vale 0.5x or greater - no more problems. I set to zero all 3 values (Transition animation scale, Window animation scale) for the phone to be more responsive.

    CPU vs GPU performance for Sony Vegas 13
