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.

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.

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 ??

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
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk
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

Terrible performance. Did a factory reset and loaded a recovery from Lenovo. Sometimes it will take 5 minutes to do a reboot, and constantly lagging performance and keyboard taking upto 3-5 seconds load constantly. Locked up multiple times, and also lost cell data that required a restart after other troubleshooting. Stay away from this phone, budget phones in the Android sector are really about sticking it to poor people. Unacceptable performance for a $300 phone. My iPhone 8 Plus performs leagues better, I bought the Moto G Stylus for work but will be returning it if Motorola cannot solve the problem. OMG the touch screen is horrible.

That sucks! Sounds like you may have gotten a dud. Mine is very snappy, reboots very quickly, less than a minute. Keyboard displays near instantly. No lockups or freezes here.
I see that you've reset the device & reflashed it from the Lenovo software. Did you restore any backups after the reset & restore? I've seen some odd issues over the years when restoring apps & data from third party tools like Titanium Backup, espically when restoring system apps and/or data. Hope you get it sorted out!
@dafunk60
Agreed. Mine is fast and snappy. It DOES take FOREVER to reboot. But day-to-day is very snappy.
Running stock ROM on MetroPCS. Using Lawnchair or sometimes Nova, both with Sesame. I'm indecisive about which feels faster.
And my keyboard I switch back and forth between Google GBoard and AnySoftKey. Both seem pretty snappy with ASK maybe being slightly snappier.
I'm biased though because I'm coming from a G6 Play that was beginning to feel REALLY limiting with it's 16GB of storage and NO ram lol
Seriously sometimes I'd wait a full minute just for the keyboard to come up on Google Chrome.
So just about anything new feels fast to me.

Just bought the Pro and it lags greatly during the "select app" / "complete action with" dialog overlay, this thing:
cdn57. androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tap-Always.fw_-840x1493.png (remove space after cdn57.)
It's so bad the phone gets almost unusable. The animation takes like a full second for 3 frames. Rest of the OS runs OKish (some lags here and there). Did I receive a broken one or does everyone have this? It's so bad I want to return it.
It's slightly faster than G Power, but, somehow, it has hard time to open T-Mobile app.
Playing 1080p60 YouTube is fine

Mine is consistently unusable and beyond return timeframe. I don't use it anymore and the carrier (google) will only try sending another one, but this product is designed this way and it could be just simply it's specs cannot carry out the tasks. Google should have a minimum spec for devices, and if they don't meet that spec they cannot be sold. Poor people or people who try to get budget devices pay the price with time and deep inconvenience--this is true on all fronts within late state capitalists society.
Sounds like a lot of duds are being sold.
I switched from a pixel 3a, to the g stylus.. and I'm literally more impressed by the g. My antutu and geekbench multicore scores between 10-15% higher. Battery life is better. Overall feel is better. The screen is great details, but could stand to be a tad bit brighter during daylight use. Sound is sorta cheap quality, but the volume is incredible. Apps open inc.redibky fast. Touch screen and scrolling is super responsive. I literally have no complaints with it's performance. I just wish the camera was better. I mean, it's not bad.. and performs better than most other phones -- but it's light years behind the best in class pixel 3a/4a.
Performance improvements to bring the best out of this phone?
1)L-Speed! (Requires root).
2)Service disabler (disabled about 10 apps that run in the background and hundreds of services. Especially stuff like motocare, digital wellbeing, facebook -- use Facebook lite if you must use anything, and several other apps/services)
3)Lucky Patcher for adblock (it's probably the best adblocker out there. Far better than adblock and much less energy and processing power than energized)
4)EXKernelManager!! Set up a profile that you can toggle for performance use, and one to use for battery life. Performance settings below:
Performance governors for cluster 1, 2, and GPU
Minimum idle gpu freq 950.
Virtual memory tab -- increase zram to 2gb. Lower swap to 40. Vfs cache 10. Overcommit 75. Dirty expire 10/5.
Misc: NOOP IO SCHEDULER! 2048 READ AHEAD. ENTROPY 1024/3072.
Run these settings, and tweak L-Speed to the max! And you'll feel like you just got a new and improved phone! Battery life will suffer, but this is for a few hours of heavy use when you need the processing power.
Honestly, I don't know what everyone is complianing about. I literally shut off 2 cores, and limit the max speed to 70% of the remaining cores, run a powersave governor for both the cpu and gpu... And click my battery saver toggle too.. and still am able to do whatever I want with it, with only small lags. But increases battery life by 50-100%.
So for those who are dealing with ultra slow phones and extreme lags.. the problem isn't the phone itself. It's your software, background apps and services, and the system/user settings.
Also, enable developer options.. turn on game driver globally, enable your 2d graphics by gpu only (disable hw overlay in dev options, and then in L-Speed toggle the force gpu rendering switch!). You can also limit background apps to 4. This will minimize background processing. But will increase load times when multitasking and switching apps.
Finally, in dev options.. go to running services. Look at what you have running. Disable every single thing that you either don't use, or don't need. Get you a magisk module that forces doze on gms services too.
There's tons and tons of things you can do to increase your performance, many of which will actually increase battery life too. Give them a shot.

I completely agree. It's a budget lag fest. Maybe a custom rom would make it speedier but then you have to deal with bugs. Buying a second hand iphone or an android flagship from last year would be better.

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.
> I installed cpu z and it's actually exynos

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.
