From the 2 hours so far with my S8+ (Had to get it for temp until my UK variant comes in).
I am using the ATT variant and am hoping my Exynos version will not lag as bad as this damn thing. My Axon 7 with stock rom just rooted ran circles around this thing.
Pull the notification menu down = dropped frames
Scroll apps drawer = dropped frames
Animation and Transition effects at 1x = Choppy dropped frames
Everyone keeps saying it's a myth that Samsung's software is not bloated and slow anymore like TW days but I am not impressed this far.
I'm torn because this phone is really beautiful hardware with just slow software.
*Edit* looks like this almost non existent on the Exynos variant so I'm pleased now.

You must be very unlucky because I have zero lag. Been using it for over a week and have not experienced any lag in any of the 130+ apps i've installed.
You might have some faulty version of the phone.
Wish you better luck with your Exynos version

The fact it's been present on Best Buy display models, T-Mobiles display and this phone I doubt that. It seems to happen more when running in WQHD for what it's worth. I have disabled a **** ton of bloat with package disabler and it's still not as smooth as the Axon 7 was not my 6s+.

The phone is not a *lag fest* it just drops frames and it's noticeable to the naked eye. For instance pull the notifications menu down to your quick shortcuts and collapse the entire menu back to the home screen, you can notice frame drops for that 1 sec function. It's not as fluid as the expansion itself.
Screen transitions such as the fade out to home I see it ever so slightly. It's not laggy as in the cpu/ram is over worked it's just a bloated launcher and possibly ****ty/suboptimal cpu/gpu scheduler.
The only reason I notice this specifically as it's what originally drove me from Samsung years ago. Well that and the locked bootloaders.
We shall see if it's as noticeable with the Exynos variant when it ships out this week.
Lag? My rippin lightening fast! Had all the other tech guys at my job also blown away with its speed and fluidity. Blows away Apple too.

I don't know ,Dude
Mines from At&t and zero lag ,everything's flying here
No lag here either. But I know what you're talking about. I've seen it happen in review videos. I was pretty worried about it.
Maybe try a factory reset?

I've been pulling down notification all day because messages are coming in and don't see frame drops....do I need glasses?...im trying to replicate your problem but I cant....
The only lag I see is when exiting apps , The animation pauses for a split 2nd and then goes away . I think it's a touch wiz launcher thing because when I use Nova launcher I get no lag at all
One thing I wish touch wiz would stop doing when opening a folder on your home page don't take up the entire screen To access the apps inside the folder .
Fastest phone I've had, no lag here or anything like that here

To me it's like going from 60fps to 30fps. I just can see the frame drops. I'll try to record it via slow motion when my wife gets home.

This is the fastest mobile device I believe I've ever used. I would put that "snappy" feeling right on par with the iPhone, and probably better in some regards. Return\Replace.

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 8 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It's a typical Samsung phone. In other words, not the best. You'll see some frame drops and stuttering on certain apps. Compared to a Pixel phone, it's very choppy. Compared to other phones, especially Samsung, it's maybe a little better than usual.
I'm on my second day of use and I've found the fluidity of the interface to be smooth and without any lag. YMMV.
Ironically the only jumpy, stuttery scrolling I've encountered on this phone is with the official XDA app! Uninstalled and use Samsung browser and dark theme. Slicker than a buttered Otter.
I get a small stutter jumping from home screen into the app menus, had it from the minute it was unboxed. Annoying really!
My S8 had pretty choppy scrolling, especially when scrolling slowly (keeping finger on the screen). However, my Note 8 is buttery smooth in every app so far!

I will say this: on performance mode, this is significantly minimized. I'm actually impressed!
I've set all animations at .5 and haven't seen any stutter or lag at all. I really don't remember any before I changed the settings. It's just an automatic thing I do with Samsung phones. I am also on high performance mode.

My animations are on 0.5 as well, and in performance mode it is almost flawless. That's the key I've realized. Non-performance mode was noticeably worse for me (which is why all the store models looked choppy to me - they were incapable of going into performance mode).
Besides slightly raising brightness and setting the resolution all the way up what else does performance mode do?

Avoids throttling the CPU I think.
Animations set at 0.5.
Smooth scrolls in browsers and tumblr twitter
i have set the animations to 0.5 but Twitter still lags badly.. bit fustrating tbh compared to the iphone twitter app.. i don't understand whys look and perform so much better on iphones
I haven't noticed any lag scrolling since I got it. I just turned Animations off today, I didn't realize you could do that in the Dev options now. TBH I don't like animations just to have animations, I turn them off all my PCs too. If I run into any issues with them off, I"ll try .5
For those who feel choppy, I kindly ask you to disable any services in the accessibility and try again. I have not experienced any stutter except for occasion stutter when I scroll in 'running service' in 'developer option'.
Is exynos throttled more than Snapdragon versions? I've used both now and notice slight lags in exynos (balanced mode)
Running processes are fine, but Chrome (e.g. this page), Twitter etc. are quite choppy. I'm running high performance mode, think it helped a little but not enough. Hope it's something they'll be able to fix with an update
A week ago I got myself a s8 ,I have an iPhone 7 Plus and I’m so sick of having to deal with this size , it feels like a brick, plus I don’t like the “psysical button “ , I wanted to get rid of it so I gave the s8 a try , and so I did and I loved the design , the screen , the camera ( night shots are better than the iPhone 7 in my opinion ) but the performance is just awful , innaceptable for a flagship , choppy scrolling , the framerate skips like crazy sometimes , it just ... lags :/
I couldn’t believe it after reading the rave reviews , so it turns out that the European version has the Exynos cpu instead of the snapdragon 835 and the benchmarks don’t tell the whole story , I tried uninstalling unnecessary apps , deactivating bloat apps , deactivating the side panel , using nova launcher ( without using root or freezing apps or something like that , but it didn’t help , did you guys just get used to the lag ? :/ have you read that the performance on the note 8 is better (the example version of course ) and if it is , so you think it’s because of the extra ram ?
I’m hopeful that Samsung will make the performance better with the Oreo update but that update will probably come in December / January , what are we supposed to do until then ?
Coming from a Huawei Mate 9 and resently activating my note 8(snapdragon) it ain't much better. Nothing about this phone is butter smooth.
Will be getting mate 10 next month. First Samsung since note 3/4.
Not horrible but expected more with specs/company
I honestly don´t know what you are talking about. Maybe I just don´t notice it.
I know up to the Galaxy S6 the Samsung Flagships were always lagging like crazy with StockROMs, but at least since the S7 it´s smooth like other Flagships. (Always talking about Exynos)
Where do you experience the lag? I just checked Twitter, Menus and browser an couldn´t notice any
I use Nova Launcher, which definitely improves the experience a lot. Combined with changing animations to 0.5x it almost never feels laggy. I rarely switch back to TouchWiz to see if it has improved, but always end up going back to Nova. I also use Gboard instead of Samsung keyboard, which also feels snappier and has better prediction.

Same here ! No more lag with this setup
I have the dual SIM international version (Exynos) since around launch date. I don't recall any instances of lag. On rare occasions there is the odd app crash.
I have not used an iPhone for any length of time to be able to compare, but we have a couple of iPads, one of them is relatively new and when using it for general browsing, reading, etc, I don't feel that I get a markedly better or smoother experience. Both S8 and iPad just work very well.

I have an iphone 7 256gb Red Edition and my S8 is no more laggy than my iphone, yes iphone can lag too. BTW, iphone is for sale. You need to be more specific where you see lags if you want people to help. I get lag when scrolling on Piano Tiles 2 but that's because he's a ****ty developer but the game is awesome. Need way more details.
I have exynos version with custom rom and i have no lags. If you what have fone with no lags at all buy iPhone. Every android have Little lags and glitches.
DEVELOPER OPTIONS (see screenshot) transition animation speed 0.5x

To make it more snappy, go into developer options and set the transition speed to .5 instead of 1. That should make things seem to zip."
I've attached a screenshot, but my transition animation speed is still at default 1x (i.e., not the 0.5x recommendation).

its more like the screen "trembles" , they just don't feel smooth , it feels like the phone it's at its limit, it's just "choppy"
Facebook is a horrible app regarding optimization. I also noticed horrible lags there. Ended up uninstalling and i am now using it via chrome and its great. No lags, bettet battery etc.
I dont use twitter but instagram is fine on me no lags at all. As for playstore nothing can be done about it. It was always that way.

All of this + youtube hdr playback above 720p. Seriously it should be fixed or bye bye samsung this time.
P.S The ``tremble`` is called stuttering and if you search from google you will found tons of users having exactly the same issue. In my oppinion the exynos processor throttles a lot due to overheating. Cant proove it though cause am no specialist on this matter

Lets say i visit www.rt.com with the browser , as soon as the comments the advertisments appear , performance is halved and it sucks to browse in such a way.
No lag for me, if there was then I wouldn't have the phone, I am EXTREMELY demanding. But then I dont have **** apps like twitter and facebook that are VERY badly written and drain the battery like theres no tomorrow. I also use nova so cant comment on whether any lag might be touchwiz related, not used touchwiz since my S3.

Weird thing-- I'm using one of the YouTube background play-enabled apps.. God I wish I could remember which one, but I got it here. Has some theme options, using one with a back background. I experience absolutely no lag with 1440phdr with this app.. No such luck with the base Youtube app
After cleaning up as many services as possible with Package Disabler, the rest of my interface lag has vanished (even in TouchWiz)
Last couple days have seemed like I have finally found the device the S8 is supposed to be, buried under the inefficient bloat and bogus it ships with.. Of course, I'm on the 835, so this may not have meant anything to begin with haha

Snapdragon isint much better either. My roommate got a pixel 2 XL and his phone is smoother (with all apps running) than my freshly factory reseted S8.
i just changed my iphone 7 with s8 exynos , i see no different in performance , in fact i loved s8 more , i can't deny that s8 have a little of lags but from my experience ios has lags too , i have 6:30H screen on time in my s8 , i never dreamed about that in my iphone 7 , in iphone I only got 5H screen on time
This is assuming the iPhone 7 suffered no lag or stutters under iOS 11. I came from the iPhone 7 and use to notice stutters while scrolling through contact lists and even the home button had delays. I've got Nova Launcher set up on my current S8 and stock rom with tons of apps and never formatted since I've been using it for the past 3months. I won't lie I did come across occasional stutters but I find it way more fluid than the experience I had on iOS. The list scrolling, app animations,etc is really smooth.

I agree to a certain extent. I used the Xperia XZ1 Compact for a month on Android 8.0. The interface felt faster than the S8 given the same developer options. You can speed up the S8 if you want by lowering the screen resolution (settings>display). But then you wouldn't have the higest (other than S7) screen DPI ever seen on a phone.

I have my P20 pro since yesterday... These reviews on the internet are a joke!!!! This phone is one of the baddest phone I ever had. And I had a lot of phones!
Every damn animations are sluggish, lags and sometimes even freeze! My galaxy S7 was performing way better... And I hate Samsung... I reset the device more than three times. Since the first screen of setup when choosing language the animation seems to be at 24 fps... What a joke! Probably going back to a pixel 2 xl. The overall speed, opening and switching between apps is great but damn these animations... No more chinese rubbish!

Ok guys, record your screens and show us how smooth your P20 PRO are!?!?
Because without your approval, our lives will be incomplete
Relax dude. My phone is perfectly smooth and this is me coming from a pixel 2. If you don't like it, return it.
But WTF... I'm just saying that this phone has a lot of stutter in its animations. I'll go check on another P20 pro in a shop to see if the problem is only on mine. I had a pixel 2 xl too and the overall impression of smoothness was way better. It will be more constructive to record other videos to prove your affirmation... But anyway...

I usually just lurk in these threads, but I also have this problem.
Overall phone speed is fine, but there are a few things that just seem to be REALLY slow.
Scrolling speed in apps is mostly fine, but system animations seem to stutter. Switching between apps, going back to Homescreen, etc.
Doesn't sound like much, but it really diminishes the experience

Try switching animations and transitions to 0.5x from developer menu?
That's the only change I've made

Yeah, first thing I did. I usually do that on all my phones. Obviously the animations are faster now, but they aren't smoother.

I've not had the same issues as you yet (touches wood) but if you unlock developer options you can change the animation speed from x1 to .05 or lower. I have mine set to x0.5 which makes menu transitions feel snappier
You're a day one adopter. Do you expect there to be no firmware revisions?
Got the P20 pro since friday...luv it! no lags, no freeze, no stuttering!
Fast as predicted!
people coming from pixel 2 or pixel 2 xl, hell even from first generation pixel please dont compare any other android to them when it come to smoothness, they are even smoother than an iPhone !!!
i had the same issue with Mate 10, i made sure that i stopped most of the background apps (go to battery then launch then disable all except what u need like social media and emails) and i didnt have a problem since, although its a QHD screen with only 4gb of RAM
and trust me, these freakishly huawei devices just gets better and faster with time even before the AI era , it is just how EMUI works
so yeah, if u want the camera, the phenomenal battery life infrared and the TV thing then keep it, otherwise seriously the Pixel 2 is just better in every single way

When we have both devices side by side you can't ask us not compare and I'm finding very little difference.
This is my first pixel device and I don't see what all the fuss was about, it has stutters too and the battery life yoyos after every update.
For me so far this device is just as responsive however I'm not saying other people aren't experiencing issues, videos have been posted and I can clearly see it but for me it's just as fast and no google maps problems like I've seen others have (still not denying this, there's kinks out there)
This is release software, give them time to throw out updates.
You for example also say the pixel is the smoothest phone out there but I had PLENTY of hiccups with mine and no amount of updates or flashing fixed it, infact it just got worse and i had to go through 2 units with different issues, this was to replace the latest unit where the proximity sensor is now busted and the phone doesn't wake up after a call without a reboot.
Every time you replace the unit you risk getting one with bad blue tint and it's just not worth all the effort, for me this is an upgrade in every way but screen resolution which is definitely not a deal breaker.
In my experience the p20 pro is very responsive, but the scrolling does stutter quite a bit. Perhaps due to weak GPU and worse software optimisation?

I have a feeling that there are already different versions of the firmware available or preinstalled, thats why some ppl have hiccups and some dont. I know someone from UK who has the stuttering in Google Maps. But one in Germany who doesn't. Just wait a few days, a first update will come soon.
I've both the P20 Pro and the Pixel 2XL and yes the stock experience is smoother on the Pixel, I've not attempted to improve the P20 yet though. But never expected it to be as smooth anyway.

Rootless pixel 2 Launcher works very well
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 OnePlus 6 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Device is incredibly smooth. It seems like 60 fps in nearly all applications I've went through so far.
The only good phones I've ever used before this have been U11, View10 and that's it.
Scrolling is head and shoulders above them.
Literally smooooooth AF
Facing the scroll and touch issue
Sometimes scrolling is laggy, sometimes it stutters, sometimes it moves too fast when i scrolled it slowly.
Scrolling has been choppy since day 1 for me. There is small microstutter.

Yup. The problem is, not everyone can see that. For instance, I said in an article that the Play Store (one example) is jittery/stuttery when scrolling up/down in pretty much every 'corner of the app. People thought I was trolling. And my eyes perceive those stutters as relatively obvious ones. I don't understand how people can't see that. Then there's Twitter. If people can't see that Twitter stutters like crazy, then I don't know what else to say. I don't think the OP6 is smoother than the Pixel 2XL, even though that one's a generation behind. Imagine how good the Pixel 3 is gonna be.

Yeah. Most people probably don't notice it, but my eyes are very sensitive to it. I game on a 165 Hz G-sync monitor and I still notice microstutter at high frame rates lol. I wonder how havoc os or lineage os is? Maybe it's just the OS and not the device causing it.

Of course the device is not the cause. It's the software that facilitates the appearance of these jitters/stutters. It's all about optimization.
I only got one issue with stuttering. That was on day one, when camera application stuttered and crashed. After that everything went fine. That probably because I had two camera apps. One of device and one installed from Play Store.

Same here with the 165hz gsync and very sensitive eyes.. Thus far I haven't noticed any stutters on the device yet been using Instagram, telegram and chrome but nothing so far on latest update.
If I compare my s7 edge that was just a nightmare of stutters.
Yup I get stuttering here, similar to my 3 back in the day. I wonder if tweaking the cpu governor has the same effects as it did on my 3. There is no "conservative" selection anymore.
O notice in some apps now. Not in chrome or Samsung browser (use it for better battery for some reason..)
But apps like Instagram (when loading pictures)
And also play store (most likely loading something too)
I'm thinking it's more about poorly designed apps rather that the device itself.
It seems that scrolling smoothness took a hit after the Pie update, many apps (including chrome) seem to stutter a lot for me.

Absolutely true. I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to install the latest Open Beta build, considering that Beta 3 was pretty smooth overall. And yes, Beta 4 is smoother than stable Pie. I don't get how the initial stable Pie build managed to make it to the masses in such a state. For the past few days, the experience on my phone was utter s#!t. I'll stay on Open Beta until things get better on 'stable Pie.
Is there scroll stutter on pie-based LOS and Havoc OS or is it limited to OOS only?

Same here... spontaneous framedrops/stutter whiles scrolling, very annoying. Beta3 felt a lot smoother to me!
Every second day have to reboot phone into recovery to wipe cache. Reason being, I'm completely unable to type anything correctly when entering text.
Recent apps lag
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing some stutter and lags with my One Plus 6. For exempe, if I scroll quickly trough the recent apps in the multitask, I can see some frame drops and it's very annoying. I don't understand why...It should work extremely fluessly with a Snapdragon 845. Are some people having the same issue here ?
Thank you so much !
The only way I've found of stopping the stuttering and poor scrolling is for to go to developer options and set the background process limit to "at most, 4 process"

I to have this problem. Scrolling would be smooth then suddenly the frames drop for a short time. This happens randomly. :/
