Should I turn off animations Android?

That’s the key word here, because it doesn’t actually speed up your phone, it just makes it appear so since menus and whatnot will load faster. If you choose to disable animations, however, it will take away some of the load on the CPU/GPU, so that will definitely help decrease lag on systems with lower resources.

What does remove animations mean?

The Android operating system often uses animations when you interact with your device, such as shrinking apps into the background when you close them. If you are sensitive to these visual effects, you can enable ‘Remove Animations’ to turn them off.
