In my opinion, the Note5 generally feels fast, but we all know that the phone has problem holding apps in RAM, scrolling can be choppy at times, and the keyboard has trouble keeping up. But that's like 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time, there pretty much a 1:1 level of responsiveness without the phone feeling like it's falling behind. However, I used a Galaxy S6 (that had 5.0.2) and it started getting quite slow after just a few weeks of use. I haven't experienced that yet with the Note5, but I'll report back if I do!
Super fast and fluid, best Android phone ever used since my first one 5 years ago
The phone is very fast! There have been instances with 1 or 2 hiccups, but I don't expect ANY device to operate flawlessly. Even the most expensive desktop, I wouldn't be upset if it had a hiccup once in a while.
I've stuck with pretty much stock everything. I would normally install Google's Keyboard and Nova or Action Launcher. Those are my first installs. I did install them, but found myself wanting to stay stock, so I did. Only thing that is "custom" is the Material theme I installed via Samsung's theme store.
I've had the phone for a week now. Very fast performance however there is the occasional scroll lag.
Upgraded from an S3 on slimkat so quite a noticeable bump.
Battery life for me has been great, about 7 hours SOT over 24 hours.

Coming from the g4 the note 5 is a very fast and snappy phone, and the apps being killed aggressively hasn't bothered me
Generally really fast and smooth. Did notice a stutter here and there but so did my Nexus 6. Anyone that claims there arent any stuttering on any phone (including the stuff that fruit makes), is either lying or disregarded it. Battery life has been great. 8am to 12 midnight with like 15% and not charged at all during the day.
upgraded from iphone 6 plus. note 5 is really fast and snappy when compared to iphone.there are some occasional stuttering and subtle scroll lag. but hey iphone also had them too..

I have my Note 5 about 2 months. I think the Note 5 has smoother operation than the Samsung phones before, and it also has fast responding speed. It quite comfortable to use. I found no disadvantage so far. Hope it can be durable.
Snappy all the time. I don't like the keyboard and so switched to SwiftKey which is awesome as it has got a compact mode best suited for phablet.
Sent from my SM-N9200 using Tapatalk
In everyday use, almost flawless. Only time it ever lags is once a day or so, in the lock screen, it freezes before turning on. Not big an issue.
In benchmarks, it still smokes the competition. And it has no throttling issues whatsoever. Did a test to see how CPU throttling was: ran several consecutive Geekbench runs. Room temp, air con on, N920I running AOJD 5.1.1.
What about the stutter in facebook when checking the comments and likes? is that app compatibility issue?

Note 5 is fastest phone ever made, it the only one that can run PPSSPP emulator and play tekken 6 at 60fps!!!, g4 choked on 30fps and felt choppy, Note 5 is a dream.
Absolutely snappy, no lags whatsoever!! I've been using it for 2 weeks now and coming from a note II, (which is still good on all levels after 3 years of usage, even the battery, the one that came with it, still holds one full day) there is a great bump and makes me confident that the note 5 will last for years to come. Way to go Sammy!
Im galaxy S series users i used almost all S series devices, but after using note 5 tha phone is ama, , its work like Charm, my rating about oveall speed is 9/10... N thanks for this note 5 forum....
when on stock firmware no modification. fast at first but will show some jitters the longer you will use it. i rooted mine used custom rom debloated with custom kernel. there on performace is awesome. looking forward for more custom rom for n9208 though...
super fast and smooth
I've had mine for two months. Still flies. For those of you that say it slows down after a while, just clean up after yourselves and you won't have that problem.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Yes! Compared to the Samsung S9, the Google Pixel 3 XL gives the impression that it is faster. I think this is because the native Android system used by Google Pixel 3 XL! At the same time, I played my friend's iPhone x before, but I feel that iphone x is faster. Recently I was thinking about whether I should buy an iPhone xs max.

Same here. Thought about the max but the limitations of iPhones are brutal. Eitherway , handsdown apple destroys Google in optimizations.

Fast enough in real life?
Of course, it´s a 845 Chip, blazing fast though
So I'm already noticing choppy animations sometimes when opening apps. This is really not good and unacceptable.
since /data uses F2FS
im curious to know if anyone has formatted it to EXT4 and observed a difference?
i remember using F2FS on the oneplus phones caused slowdowns and latency issues.

The animations were getting choppy, everytime I unlock the phone. I sent it back to Google for a replacement. If this issue presists, I'm just gonna return the phone.
Been using mine since day one, and it's kind of funny to me. I thought lately it was slowing down, but it's only because I'm used to it now. I played around with my Moto E4 Plus that I came from, and wow, that thing was a snail. I thought that phone was fast when I got it, and thought it was on par with much more expensive phones all the way up until I got the 3XL, but once I tried it after using the 3XL, it was night and day. I then went back to the 3XL, and boom, it was like the first day I turned it on. Blazing fast, and not one stutter or jank. It's amazing how using it 12 hours a day make you get used to the speed and smoothness. Try your old phone, and then come back. You won't take it for granted anymore like I did.

Yeah..as of new Samsung a50 is fast....but it depends on day to day use...I heard that Samsung products lags after sometime...I will give my feedback after 1month of use
using since a month, no lag no issues except the fingerprint
Sometimes fingerprint works good...but othertimes it is just annoying
For me:
-opening Apps list in settings - laggy
-dialing - laggy
Sometimes phone is bit laggy..
Opening apps takes time...
Any tips??
Got no problems with its speed. I'm impressed by how this device delivers your day-to-day ops.
Occasionally lagging, but nothing major. I would say we need to wait for update (April security patches),in which Samsung states that fingerprint issues will be solved.
Currently using both A50 and A8, and can confirm that the A8 is smoother and more "premium " feel...
The device come with really a lot of Samsung apps preinstalled and some bloatware, that most of people just don't need, so the a50 model with 4G ram can be not enough.
but after adb debloat, everything is just fast and smooth, even with 4 G ram

Well this one is not the best, but it use different sensor than S10. I just don't use it (except banking app etc.). Funny thing is that with dry fingers it's unresponsive, but if you slightly lick your fingers it works without any issues. On my S10 is no problem at all.
guys does the phone heat up specially while using chrome? I sold my new S8 because it got super hot with just 5 minutes of chrome or youtube
Chrome is garbage anyways, use another Chromium fork or Firefox.
Day to day used, it good im satified, but in playing games when it comes to smoothness, it failed like in mobile legends that mine have no high frame rate option, in pubg mobile lite, good but not as smooth in old oppo a3.

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.
