Why do apps/tools behave differently on similar devices?

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’ve been noticing something interesting and a bit confusing.

Even when two devices have very similar specs and are running the same version of an operating system, some apps or tools behave very differently. On one device everything runs smoothly, but on another device the same app may lag, crash, or perform poorly.

For example:
- Same RAM & processor
- Same OS version
- Same app version

But totally different performance.

I’m trying to understand what actually causes this.

Is it because of:
• Background processes?
• System optimization differences by brands?
• Hidden settings or resource allocation?
• Or something related to how apps interact with hardware?

Would really appreciate insights from experienced users or developers here :raising_hands:

Thanks!
