To me the task switching goes on without a lag between various kind of apps like mail clients, game emulators and internet browsing. The only one I've seen it's related to Nova Launcher's app drawer, but can be avoided setting Nova velocity options down by a couple of levels

I just purchased it from Amazon at $199. My current phone is a Moto G4 plus. I am plesently surprised with the speed even with multiple apps open. I'm not a gamer. It opens many apps faster than my G4.
So far I'm impressed. Big improvement over the honor 5X which I owned in the past.

great deal ,enjoy the phone

In day to day usage I have never experienced any lag or stuttering. Multitasking is also great. This is incredible considering its price.

My friend was kind enough to let me borrow his 6X for a review. Regarding speed, faster than 5X. I loved it because at such minimal price, it should not be overlooked.

Honor 6 x is Way better then redmo note 4, don't know why redmi note 4 has got this much popularity

Probably due to bigger battery , active development , more variants, Miui.

Overall this phone's speed is a nice replacement for 5x.

That's okay.

No complaint whatsoever. Doesn't lag and still doing well after 10 months of usage.

Running well in nouget.

It it well behind the competition
Kirin soc is power efficient but it comes at the cost of performance
I face lags(i doubt emui for this) performance is snappy for most part but i am really unhappy with emui as it don't take full benefit of hardware
SD 625 gets 60 70 some people even achieving 80k but this phone just around 50k
So there is noticeable drop in performance compare to mi phones or sd 650/625 powered devices

Blazing awesome for this midrange device.

After a solid day of use the device actually feels slower than my S8 despite having more Ram. This is based on load times of apps such XDA, Injustice 2, and a few more apps.

I find this much faster to use than my s8+.

Much faster than my V20 and much more pleasant to use. No more LG for me.

I still have my S8+ and have compared the two phones' speeds side-by-side. Note8 is BY FAR faster. I was surprised by the enormous difference.

Who cares about "fastness". All 2017 smartphones are fast enough. What we should care about is "smoothness" and "touch responsiveness".

I think those things are all (mistakenly) used synonymously.

My Note 8 is way smoother than my S8+. Samsung must have highly optimized the Note 8. Night and day difference to me.

The reboot times are phenomenally fast compared to my V10, V20, and pretty much anything else I've used in the past, oh.. say.... ever. There is no waiting around on this phone. I love how this bar keeps getting set higher and higher!

Seems plenty quick. I hate how these big YouTube reviewers who use a different phone every week page through screens or slide their apps up and down like it means anything.
It's slower than my iPhone, but they've always caked Android for obvious reasons. That's not why I like this phone. It's more than sufficient so far.

The phone itself is quite fast! I had the S8+, and this boots way faster as well. But for some reason, my data connection is considerably worse on T-Mobile. Idk if this is just my phone, but it takes forever for some things to load, and some simply don't work until I either restart the phone, or cycle data on and off. Is anyone else experiencing this on T-Mobile?

For sure. Surprising given that the internal hardware is nearly identical.

Well, first day with the note 8 and it blows past the v20.

That's what 6GB's of RAM does with proper optimizations!!! Huge difference in speed and smoothness for my when comparing my S8 side by side, I was not a believer until I compared exact tests side by side...

MUCH smoother vs S8+ IMO.

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.

Coming from S20 Ultra to this, so I can get some nice pictures of baby. I love the phone, but it is quite sluggish. That’s just my opinion coming from the SD865, so its all relative

I'm impressed with the storage performance. Apps loading for first time pretty quick for a midrange phone.
Also, I get over 120Mbps on 4G at Tmobile sites that have been upgraded to 5G. The backhaul was likely upgraded, increasing chances of better 4G performance too. Though don't get anywhere near that on my S8. Why pay more for a 5G phone eating battery when 4G speeds can be this good on 5G sites.

4a scored about 275K on Antutu, which puts in in category of S9. Not slow but not high end. Also about same as original iPhone X in real world performance (outside CPU intensive apps).

coming from an iPhone XS Max, and the speed is fine. its not sluggish to me and response is immediate. i don't game though, just normal browsing and utility / info based apps.

i'm not convinced the USB version is 3.2 - i'm not seeing file transfer speeds anywhere close to that (maxing out at 350mb/s in my case)

Speeds are good coming from an Xperia XZ1. It seems quite optimized. Have yet to really have anything to complain about in that area.

Could anyone compare pixel 4a performance to some midrange? Of course it is not a gaming phone...

My previous two phones were the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL - The Pixel 4a is a substantial step up in every regard, as far as I'm concerned. I don't get too wrapped up in specs & am far more interested in day to day use.....

My 3Xl is way faster than my 4A. On Android 11. Just sayin

It's a matter of degrees. It's definitely noticably faster. If it's important to people and they want to upgrade to the 4A. It's not as fast as the 3XL

It could also be faster but the Pixel 3 and the 3 XL sucks a lot in multitasking, thanks to the poor 4 gb if ram. And I had the Pixel 3. Anyone, I have pre-ordered the 4a, let's hope they'll ship faster!

I have two devices an One Plus 7 Pro and the Pixel 4a can I tell a difference, sure but it is really not a show stopper. I can an do run the same Apps both devices as far I can tell they all open and and the user experience is the same. Swipe left to right etc... it maybe the OnePlus is a bit more responsive but if I did not own a 2019 flagship device I would never know. The speed, the response, user experience is great. Using the Pixel 4a has me thinking, do I really need the latest and great hardware so far the answer is no.

After using the 4a for a couple of days I came to the same conclusion vs the 7pro. Plus, I prefer the 4a's size, weight and rear fingerprint sensor.

The Pixel 4a is the lightest phone I owned it years, the size I am almost 60 eyes are not what they used to be but reading glasses on the small device is ok.
With the finger print sensor in the back, I hold the device and it is just natural to unlock the phone.
I know if I ran Speed Test the OnePlus 7pro would be faster, but I do not care at the end of the day when I am using the phone does it meet my requirements.

Given that I'm at the same level of "maturity", perhaps the 4a is the perfect "geezer" phone? Progressive lenses do the job for me. :laugh:

comming from pixel 2 and 4a is a bit faster

There are a few stutters here and there for me but nothing too crazy. I keep looking at the phone and being amazed at how damn good it is for the price. I also really prefer the plastic over glass. Though I would actually rather have aluminum. The chipset is perfectly capable to deliver useable performance. It just goes to show that most people really don't need the fastest phone in the world.

Gaming performance of Pixel 4A
How’s the gaming performance of pixel 4a.Can it run games like pubg ,fortnite , COD at 60 fps.Also how’s the heating and battery performance while gaming

Hey guys, do you reckon the SD730G + 6gb RAM will be decent for a couple years? I intend to keep the phone for 2-3 years and I typically just use it for browsing, reddit and youtube. No gaming outside some Among Us every now and then. I'm currently using a OP 3T, btw. I just want a small, snappy phone, the great camera is just an added bonus for me.

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.

Strange. For me, my new Samsung (Snapdragon 865, 6/128GB) is the smoothest phone I've ever had. My previous phone was Asus ZenFone 6 (Snapdragon 855, 6/128GB).

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.
