P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L.
Cached or not, apps open us faster than most other phones can brag about. The Exynos 7420 in the Note5 really shines in this regard, because loading apps from scratch has never been faster for me. There are plenty of videos demonstrating just how much faster the Note5 is at firing applications than the competition, and it really shouldn't be understated. If only that performance carried out to other aspects of the UI...
Even though people say the RAM issue is a problem, I don't think so. When in real world usage are you going to open and switch apps 20+ times in 1 minute? I think Samsung knew what they were doing. The ones who do complain care about the comparison videos of the Note 5 going up against *insert phone here*.
If your going to change apps like that, then go with the competition.
It opens up apps super fast and multi-tasks like a champ.
I was literally apprehensive before buying this beast after watching the comparison video of ram management,but believe me or not I haven't seen any phone faster;smoother,n even browser didn't reload with 5app,xda,gallery,YouTube,s search,whtsapp,

I agree, who actually uses their phone as depicted in those comparison tests. I've found the phone opens apps as fast as I need to use them.
fantastic very fast
super fast in open apps
no lag like note 4 the ****ty laggy one
I guess *as seen from reviews and comparisons* it's the fastest among all other android smartphones.*not sure about the iphone 6s*
On Lolipop 5.1., I think the apps launched faster in my opinion. Even though the overall speed of the phone is faster on the marshmallow. But we're talking couple .2 or .3 of second like formula speeds difference. Nevertheless, the app launch is fast, stupid fast on this phone. I mean, I don't remember sitting and waiting for the app to launch in like 5 or 10 seconds. I will say this, the difference between my droid bionic on ice cream sandwich and this note 5 on marshmallow app launch speed, is a pretty profound. NOW we're talking about 5-10 seconds faster than my 4 year old droid bionic phone. The difference between my note 3 lollipop and note 5 marshmallow, isn't as profound. Maybe about 1 seconds difference. Like I said, formula speed difference.

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Note5 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
With bloatware enabled, many processes creep onto your CPU load and make things worse than usual. Without bloatware, smoothness is a little better, but still choppy and it skips more beats than any phone with such ludicrous hardware should. Many weaker phones perform much better in this regard, which is disappointing. I wish reviews would mention it because as it stands, people have the impression that the Note5 is the smoothest phone out there. It simply isn't, it's smooth when scrolling through stock applications but load up a long Play Store list and other lists with plenty of graphics and then fluidity takes a hit that Samsung shouldn't be proud of. Hopefully further optimization will help here.

That's not the point. Other Android phones, with much less processing power are way smoother.

I disagree. My Nexus 6 was just as smooth if not smoother than my wife's iPhone 6.
Stuttering on a phone of this caliber is inexcusable. Especially with this being the 5th one.

I sold iphone 6 to buy big screen phone like note 5 i bought it. Its good featured phone no doubt and its fast too. But smooth? No. Scrolling is worse than ever. Like a 1 core phone.

Ah typing is difficult and also laggy in forums.
Btw when 6.0 is expecting to launch
I agree with others there is definite lag in this phone but not all the time. To me its probably Touchwiz even though I have removed it and I am using different launcher its fully built into they system. Sadly I got this phone for Samsung Pay which works great and I wont be rooting this phone which I am quite sure would help.
Too gain more customers Samsung should give you the ability at setup to include or exclude what apps you feel fit. This with the option of an OEm based rom or a Touchwiz based version would also make many such as myself happy
I think note 5 is not ready to sell in market. Ita down side of android. I mean its just a joke. Is that 8 core phone. Shame 2 core and 2 gb iphone is 5 times stronger.
Im not hater. I had s4 s5 all series but they weren't like note 5. Everything lag in scrolling.
Investing big money and we have no right to get it smooth?
Why should we ignore it? I really like camera and display is best in market. But i believe hands on performance is most important. For now im selling 3 days old phone.
Btw im using moto g3 i really liked this phone. Smooth and cheap. Unlike note 5

Well, lot's of android haters in here, that's odd. Anyway, I started with iPhones, went to android for a couple years and had all the flagships, switched to the iPhone 6 Plus last year, and just bought a Note 5. I think the Note is very fast and fluid. Zero complaints here. Then again, I rooted and installed a custom ROM and kernel immediately but still... When I used it in the store it seemed pretty quick. People are a little quick to say Android will never be as fast as iOS. iOS has it's own share of little glitches and hiccups too.
The launcher is fast, the app drawer is fast, apps open fast, camera is fast, fingerprint scanner is fast, this is a fast phone.

Mate, you're completely missing the point here. People are reporting on scrolling smoothness problems with stock Touchwiz, not some custom ROM and kernel. Of course performance can be better in that case. And nobody here is blaming Android. There are perfectly smooth Android phones out there with much less horsepower, which adds to the frustration.

I'm crazy with iPhone 6s scroll speed, acceleration. But I can say with you that iPhone 6s will smoother than Note 5. Just now 6s come with buggy, lagging iOS version. If you stay with 9.0, it is very smooth! After jailbreak, I can speed up animation. Only scroll speed is problem I'm finding out the solution!

But iPhones were never truly always butter without a stutter or bug themselves. As well as for many years iOS has had a large lead over all mobile OS's in app crashes.
I can't take the slow molasses type of scrolling in iPhone safari browser. I need it to be quick like chrome on Android.
Seems little freezes here and there but I think all is do to network and internet connection. Overall on internal looks great..
I agree that scrolling smoothness isn't what it should be. It should be up to par with other android phones. I got it two days ago and im really considering taking it back for the S6 but i really don't know if it'd be any better. Anyone used the s6 to know?

This phone is bad to the bone. Now, with this momentum built up around the "who will make the better cheapster, since google killed the nexus" it fails to deliver. I had all the nexus phones and even another one from the android one project. This is not good and nokia should acknowledge it. They are not able to make the only proprietary app (yes the camera) which is different on each android one phone since google doesn't provide api for the cheap hardware, the phone even crashes sometimes, the app is so bad.
Phone is laggy on a constant snappy animations level. Gboard lags 90% of the time. Battery drains superfast, and heats up like an oven (warning appears) while listening to gpm and using waze.
And no, no "rogue" or battery hog apps installed or whatnot. Touch is unresponsive. The phone is like two weeks old and I'm thinking of returning it. This is sad, I bought it to support an old company from my childhood ...
I understand that snapdragon scaled down a processor to fool the cheap and google didn't scaled down android for some reason, but there is a difference between a slow phone and a laggy snappy annoying someting.
My two cents for people who are trying to find a "new nexus" is to avoid it at all costs. This phone might work for an older family member who just got familiar with android. But as I told, if you're looking for a new nexus, forget it.
I have the exact opposite experience than strapabiro. My Nokia 6.1 hasn't shown me any lag at all. In two months I had to reboot one time. The unresponsive touch may be caused by a screen protector. I saw this on another phone (non-Nokia). As for battery drain, I did experience this issue but the fix was easy. I turned off the tap to wake and whatever they call it when it wakes up when you pick it up. I found the phone was waking up all the time when it was in my pocket. Since turning that off I can run two days easy before having to charge it. The SD630 processor is plenty fast when you are not running a skin over Android like Samsung, LG, etc. The weakest thing about the phone is the camera. If you use your phone's camera all the time this may not be the phone for you.
Indeed I have a screen protector, but I had one on every other phone. This lift to wake up thingy is disabled for me also since I observed the false wakeups on day 0. I will try with the tap to wake up too. Btw the custom launcher isn't eating more battery than the stock since they disabled the stock when they installed the bloat one and even some oem have better launcher since lately google hires anyone who can turn on a pc, but that's not our case. Yes the camera thing is very sad and bad advertising for Zeiss. I'm not here for trashtalk. Anyways based on the fact that the phone is out since February and it's popularity is really low here, I'm not anticipating a bright future for nokia's second coming. I'd really like this phone to work honestly, design is awesome, they should do something under the hood ...
I'm another unsatisfied customer coming from a Nexus background. Stuttering audio on bluetooth and then this update fiasco. Always the provider, country or google's fault and nothing Nokia can do. Cheap phone cheaper customer service.
Not fast at all. Its a laggy device. Inspite of having sd 630, it works like sd 212. I feel software is the main reason for such a laggy performance
for the specs its got a lot of lag. doesnt feel like the rom is optimized.
Wow. I am surprised about all the negative comments. Which versions are having lag? I have a TA-1068 (for 2 months so far) and have yet to experience any lag.
Maybe because this is the 4/64 variant?
Mine 6.1 32/3 GB model runs smooth. After all updates up to july security patch.
The only thing i hate about the phone is the worthless camera app. It is slow and laggie. On the TA-1043..
Especially when you user the camera sometimes i n Whatsapp
64/4 version and it's very responsive. Best phone I've had for years. Had it for 3 weeks now, haven't had a single hang, or crashed app, I think I've only rebooted once. Battery life is great too.
no complaint about speed..all is butter smooth

Only being able to compare it to the 835s of the Pixel 2 and the S8, this phone has been feeling fast for me. I make all the animations .5x so that helps too. Occasional app crashes but hoping that will get worked out with future updates.

Honesty it doesn't feel much, if any slower than a phone with an SD855. I'm sure it could be noticeable in some games, loading times, etc... But everyday usage it feels the same.
I stated before that the merging time when taking pictures would likely be reduced a bit if using an 855, but with them having to customize the 845 for it, I'd prefer a slower merge on a released phone versus a phone that never comes out because they're always trying to get the newest hardware configured for it.
Compared to my xz3 it seems smoother, opening apps faster
Ran 3dmark Sling Shot Extreme for Open GL 3 and Vulcan. Score 4582/4258. Comparison chart on site vs phone app is different. Also i couldn't upload my score, but that could have been because i turned off google app. Apparently i was the first to test this phone with 3dmark
*Edit: I guess you want to know how it works day to day... Overall better than my windows phone, but in general seems appropriately speedy in accomplishing tasks with little or no delay, based on my expectations of how this phone should respond.

I've been power using the N10 Snapdragon variant for a lil over a week. I'm transitioning from my Pixel 3XL, comparatively I can't tell the difference other than the amount of apps which the phone can seamlessly run and provide an over all smooth fluid switch between. This N10 with it's 8GB Ram, and 2.8ghz CPU is powerful, I have struggled to give this phone a run for it's money. I like to run multiple drawing, audio editing, and chrome tabs for hours at a time. When I'm gaming the phone stays cool and seamlessly plays my YouTube in the background, usually accompanied by several random chrome tabs + my most frequent apps social media platforms stay running and have almost no lag reopening even after hours of being untouched. Personally it blows my mind how exponentially smartphone performance overall is increasing. My Note 10 is a Beast!
A major link in the chain for the Note Legacy in my opinion.
I haven't been this pleased by Sam since the Note 5.
Comment - soooooo grateful they made the smaller N10 variant!! That N10+ is overkilled overkill and had it been the only option, Samsung would've taken another L from me this year. Been a while but after Evie launcher installation + pixel icon pack Samsung's Rom is almost visually bearable enough to look at.
!!!BEAST!!!!
Yeah, you are lucky that you have snapdragon version! Try once exynos and you will change your mind...more heat, cpu throttling, less sot etc! Only positive thing is that i have dual sim that I really need

Note 10+ /exynos 12gb ram here.
Been using it on pwer saving mode since i got it and i don't remember a single time it reloaded anything to be honest,pubg works on ultra without a single hiccup at 60fps.dead effect 2 on ultra everything runs 60fps with no hiccups.
Firefox with ublock origins and youtube on desktop mode + gaming works with no lags and the pen features makes me wonder why the hell isn't it on every single phone ever,i regularly hit 8_10hours of sot with 30% brightness and wifi,sync enabled and no gps.
No Facebook or Instagram crap though,years ago i noticed they never stop running in the background even when you turn off everything they just keep spamming requests to run (deteced with AppOps)

Good speed, but not as fast as the regular S20. I don't do any heavy gaming, but some apps open slightly slower with the FE. Reduced RAM?
Just bought it and quite disappointed with its battery and speed
Using a Dual-SIM Exynos FE 6/128: G780F/DS.
Speed is great so far, but this is my first modern "flagship" phone though, so can't really compare it to anything.
Screen on time is not great though. 4.5 hours after a week of use.
I have no issues thus far with speed

very slow. I'm so disappointed. my note 10 was faster. despite the 120hz (which feels incredible) the inconsistency gives me literal actual nausea. the frame rate stays at 120hz for 0.2-0.5s at first during scrolling then drops down to 30-20fps... when I set it to 60hz it's obviously slower but i prefer it because it just feels more consistent. it's nicer on the eyes.. very sad and dissapointing.

It's 5g so I think it's snapdragon. My brother was the one who actually got it and said it but the package doesn't say 5g. The model number is G870f/ds. And had 128gb of storage and 8gb of ram
The major horrible lag went away after letting the phone sit on the table for some time. It was very new at the time. It still lags but it's usable now. It has the good old samsung/xiaomi (I never used a non samsung/xiaomi android phone since other phones are not available here) stuttering. When I scroll there's like 3-4 frames that daty stuck for 200-100ms. It's very noticable but nothing like the mess it was at first (I had literal nausea using it)
Is the snapdragon that much better really btw?
Overall the smoothness is nowhere near a 3 year old iphone x with 80% battery health (my brother uses his a ton.) But the higher refresh rate is sooo nice. It's hard to say which I prefer but the iphone feels better honestly
It's just sad to see a great 120hz panel ruined slightly by bad software

If you've just installed all the apps you're using on your new phone, of course it's going to take a few hours to days for everything to settle down, as well as a few other restarts. Then it only makes sense to comment on his behavior.
Installing everything you had on your previous phone at the same time is not the best course of action. By gradually adding one application at a time, you can more easily detect one that has a serious problem, for example, with the A11, or with the phone itself.
However, if you are lagging without installing other apps, something is completely wrong.

I'm not sure what you mean by plugging but I installed cpu z and it's actually exynos ( it's been a day and a restart yesterday and honestly still. It lags but it's usable. I'll upload a video on youtube. If you're interested reply so I'll get a notification about it (it's gonna take a bit to upload)
Have you ever used a new iphone? Iphone x or newer. My iphone X was sooo smooth in comparison. Not to mention the far lower latency (input delay.) Overall the phone felt nicer on my eyes and brain to use despite the 60hz. But it wasn't as "fluid" as this one. But the consistency made up for it. And not to mention the thoughtful detailed animations that follow your fingers acceleration and speed etc.
I've been spoiled by an iphone x before and I'm quite sensitive to stutter tbh!
EDIT:
this is the s20 fe. now that I see it in slow motion it's embarrassingly awful. I'm uploading a slow motion of proper 120hz without stutter too.

Yeah sadly the person at the store either made a mistake or lied to my brother. I wasn't there to confirm
But the video I attached shows the issues. It's outright embarrassing that samsung is this bad still. It takes actual skill to make such a fast processor this slow.
If you check my channel you can see what proper 120hz looks like in comparison. I was too lazy to attach the videos
activate your developer options @AmyTheBun by going to settings / about phone / software ...and tap on the build number 7 times in a row. this gives you an extra menu called developer options. inside that, near the top you'll see running services.
click running services after the phones has become slow and see what's using CPU and ram.
your phone performance is not normal. if it's not something like an old out of date app causing problems I'd take that phone back for a refund.

smart pass was on the top. nothing special was using too many resources.
the video was in slow-motion btw.
oh and mine is exynos... we have no other choice where I live. not even a single snapdragon model!
I had the 5g version of the fe, it was complete **** so much it was slow. I instantly sold it back. Lots of stuttering, my old s9 was feeling faster (in Android). I then tried the 4g version of the s20 fe (exynos) and was surprised by how snappy it was. The menus where opening quickly, swaping between apps was a breeze. I was impressed.
So there sure is a rat under the carpet with Samsung, maybe software problems, maybe cpu/hardware/chipset problems, maybe both.
I have the 5G/Snapdragon version (recent firmware) and it's fast enough. The 120 Hz screen is smooth, all apps running smoothly including those with heavy JS graphics, which were garbage on my previous phone, A6.
