I'm coming from years of using Windows Phone. My first phone was the Lumia Icon. This is my second Android phone since the Samsung S3. For now I find this phone zippy fast. No lag anywhere other than the fingerprint scanner, which finds itself not registering my thumb after a while. I've installed the usual Microsoft apps from my Windows Phone experience on this phone. I find they work better with Android than in Microsoft's own environment. I don't play games on the phone, so I can't say much about that. But other than game speed, this phone is responsive when opening any app or setting. I didn't uninstall any Vivo apps. I just set my defaults to my edge browser, outlook, Cortana and all Microsoft apps i used from my previous phone. When it comes to setting reminders, I find Cortana to be much quicker in setting one up.
The one thing I find about Android is you have to take more steps in completing a task than in a Microsoft phone. You have to have used a Windows Phone to understand what I'm talking about. An example is pinning a most used Settings shortcut to your Home screen. You could pin a Settings shortcut directly to your home screen in Windows Phone with no additional help from a third party app.
My biggest complaint with the Vivo NEX is the fingerprint scanner's flaky response when I need access to the phone.
What a beast
synthetic benchmarks aside, I am very impressed by the software performance, I use the fastest animation speed in dev options 0.5x. For me its totally lag free, no micro lag, it is the fastest device I have tried. I did try the Note 9 and this feels a lot faster.
While especially the Chinese version contain "bloat" it does not slow down the system, people often confuse bloat with lag or performance problems but this is as fast as 845 gets, I think funtouch is underrated. Personally I prefer the style instead of Vanilla, I prefer transparent UI like iOS it looks more timeless and less dated to me. Windows has it and Linux etc.. Google dont care to introduce transparent UI elements cause all people would call them iOS rip off..I just think they should do it, transperent looks mordern and timeless and dynamic.
It's pretty fast, I turned the animations off so I have no lag. It's not as fast as the IPhone X or note 9 but it's fast enough.
J7
This is faster than the iPhone X, and by quite a bit. I'm not sure what the poster was referring to, but this phone absolutely destroys the X in terms of performance. The X can't even support HDR videos on YouTube.
Nex S is a beauty and a beast in one body, so fast, the camera is now perfect (with gcam ported, it beat the Huawei P20 Pro in low light !) and gaming is so smooth, i have nothing to complaint, the oled display is top notch (without a notch )
good
oo

The 835 combined with the near stock ROM means a silky smooth experience.
It's faster than my tears, and is able to respond before i even have a chance to form a tear in my eye.
Everything is lightning quick even with multiple apps open in the background. Hard to slow this phone down really. Easily the fastest phone I've used.
As expected on SD835, quick and smooth, and so as the bare essentials on this phone. Loved it:good:
Anything I say will be repeating everyone else:
It's really fast.
Just as fast as the Pixel 2 phones for half the price on T-Mobile.
So far, I have been using this phone for a little more than a month. I have to say this is the best phone since I previously own Nexus 5. I am really impressed with the performance, stability, and speed of it. It's really hard to slow down this phone. It's really smooth and fast. This phone has been running for five weeks without a reboot and counting. I don't see any issues with the performance and stability of this phone. The performance is the same since day one. This phone is near stock android combine with top-end CPU make the best experience overall. It blew my mind away.
I LOVE this phone. I came from a note 4. Played around with a note 8.
Real snappy. I only have three complaints
1) stock Android emojis.
2) no headphone jack.
3) I didn't buy it sooner to get the free projector ?
Bought it for my kid. Seriously impressed. The mods are fun, but expensive gimmicks. Ít runs as fast or faster than my Note8. I do wish it was water resistant, but aside from that, it is a good value.

Nokia 8 has better geekbench 4 scores than pixel 2
Official Oreo release
That results good enough to get me on page 1 sorted by multicore when it's uploaded
Think I've got a goodun!
good performance
Last run now uploaded. Sitting 20th
Just run Gekkbench on my Nokia 8!
The Note 8 gets 6478 on multi-core (https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks) and my Nokia 8 gets 6471! Damn close!

Wow! Considering Nokia 8's are mid-priced phones they are killing it with the specs and performance!
QHD screen and higher performance than phones more than double the price!
HMD Global good job! Now just to unlock the bootloader! ;D
Yes I am loving this phone compared to my previous P9.
My issue is with the fingerprint sensor and location coming from a phone where it was on the back I find N8 very awkward and even too small.
Can't fault the performance.
Day to day use is very good. No lag or terrible performance. Switching between various apps is smooth and responsive. Even with heavy apps like Facebook, Skype calls and Playstore updating in the background, the phone works well without freezing or crashing.
Heavy games loads well and runs smoothly.
For its specs, its a very capable phone.
Will have to see how it holds up after 2 years...

Yes I agree the scanner is rather small but I actually prefer it being on the front of the phone.
As I normally press the home button to wake the device anyway it is just one fluid motion to pull out, and unlock the phone.
It was one of the reasons I steered away from the OnePlus 5T! That and I prefer dedicated hardware buttons for home, back and multi-tasking. Can't stand virtual buttons for this.

I'm in agreement with that. Hate software buttons and scanner on the back.
I prefer the back scanner, it was easier for me to press it with any finger when I picked up the phone.
I redid all of my fingerprints on the N8 and now I have better accuracy on the unlock which means my angle doesn't matter as much - most of the time I am able to use the phone with double tap anyway as I have smart devices / locations linked to it.
Very happy with the phone so far, performance is awesome and battery life excellent.
Consistent performance

To me my M9 was a touch slower than my SD835 S8+. My M10 LCD 6gb is faster than my S8+. Main thing is the K970 is solid and stable. No jerks or hangs so far. Desktop mode is smooth also. A lot better than DEX. Off-screen navigation button is great.
Its fast, but mate 9 pro feels smoother.
Is it me or i feel like the mate 8 with custom Rom was a bit faster and less lag than the mate 10 4gb ram ??

Ofc customrom is better when its a slim one. thats one thing you cant compare dude!
Mate10pro is faster then my mate 8.
So Oreo is not the best version for the mate
Personalmente es mi primer 4GB RAM y 64GB ROM, realmente lo encuentro muy rápido en todos los aspectos.
Faaassssttt.... High 212k Antutu
Always go to developer option and adjust all animation to 0.5x, then comment back here.
performance from 6 gb ram is not up to my expectation
Lag in games, I already formatted, updated or rebrand: nothing to do. I'm starting to regret this purchase.
same

Yeah I am having some regrets also,games are not very smooth, also some jerks are visible and very annoying for a high end phone.I am hoping for a future update maybe 8.1 will be much more faster and smooth.
I am coming from iPhone 6s and this is new to me but everybody says that I have to give it some time.Maybe the google pixel is a better choice?
Ok. Here is what i noticed so far. Phone was factory and cache reseted with some trash apps removed. Only added nova launcher, Facebook lite messenger, viber and discord+ few games witch doesnt work in background. Iv been using phone few days. Its BLA-L29 8.0.0.129(C432). Nova launcher working great, system menu and overall ui working great, apps open fast with no choppy animations, stock gallery micro stuttering when scrolling fulscren photos, market lags alot, few games lag, few works great. Rest of system is working great and battery life is great. If you ask me il rather get 1hr off battery life witch is around 8h sot for little more smooth operation in said apps. Tested all with both resolutions and its the same so it must be some wierd throttling or something.
Same here, some parts of UI lagging....maybe updates work things trough

I had my mate 10 pro for a month now, lag is very less to nothing, its super snapy, this phone is blazing fast!
i notice frame drops while gaming (only play sonic forces though) other than that it is very fast, no real lag. i realise that sometimes animations seem to lag but it is just the animation, the phone itself and the action i am performing is very fast. (unlike samsung where i experienced not only animations lagging but also the apps/actions i was performing were delayed or i needed to hit an icon twice)
i think huawei needs to come up with a brand new UI.
they have a ton of good features but everything reminds me of older times. also they used to push themself into the markets by copying rivals especially Apple. I think this is what a lot of chinese companies are doing and it is fine but in recent years huawei has become a major player themselves, now they have to prove that they can do it themselves, can do it better
I heard it takes week or two for AI to arrange things and it's true. Phone is lot smoother now tho there are areas where it still lags....like default email client when opening new email. But nothing major any more.
I play only some 2D game(Vikings war of clans) and coming from SD821 phone I'm delighted with performance in it(lots of calculations).
most annoying thing is hill climb 2 stutter. but i have a feeling that crap drops frames on all phones
No faults whatsoever so far
Lineage Revolution works fine on highest details for 20min

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.
