Would you say that the Redmi Note 8 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Redmi Note 8 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
sometimes after an hour of sleep, the fingerprint scanner is slow and it takes a second for the phone to light up.

A second is an understatement. Mine takes 4-5 seconds for the screen to come on after it has been asleep for a while. I've never owned a phone that turns on so slowly. I have been caught out a few times when trying to take a photo and everything freezes long enough I miss the opportunity. I have mostly other peoples photos because my phone was too slow. The camera app also lags at the worst of times.
My only other gripe is the amount of call-backs to Xiaomi it does. My network blocks all of it and the phone still works regardless, looking at the stats my phone makes as many outbound requests as my laptop which I use all day (the phone is minimal usage). I also don't like seeing random chinese domains being accessed, if you can't keep it under the xiaomi/redmi doamin name then how can I trust it?
Ehh no. The SD 665 is ironically a bit slower than the SD 660 to preserve battery, I presume. Non "heavy" use should be fine
Speaking of gaming, PUBG surprisingly runs great at HD + Ultra! No frame drops too. The Arduino 610 is pretty noice.
I have the 3GB Redmi Note 8T and it's fine but I would like to Root it so I can freeze apps when not in use.

Download an app called GFX Tool from the Play Store. You can unlock any graphics setting and fps cap with it! Heck, you can even play on HDR/Extreme! Balanced/Extreme gives about 50 fps in my testing, and smooth/extreme gives 60. HD/extreme gives about 40.
Hi all guys, some information I have a redmi note 8 global, can you tell me if the xiaomi redmi note 8 model supports the 4g + connection? I ask it because on my model I have never seen it, but who has the redmi note 8t instead can see the 4g + icon

I don't think so, because on my redmi note 8 model the 4g is detected and the 4g + that I don't see is why I asked if this model supports the 4g +?
For me this is the worst Xiaomi phone I ever had.
Sluggish performance, constantly redraw on launcher, slow internet speed for everything, lagging all around and terrible wake up process - sometimes it takes almost 10 seconds to wake up the screen.
I really pray that someone develop a good custom rom so I can use it properly.

It sounds like the compute cores aren't clocking up fast enough. All modern chips automatically change the voltage going to their cores based upon temperature and also utilization, know as dynamic frequency scaling. Intel calls it speedstep for example on their CPUs. Think of it is as autmatic on-the-fly overclocking & undervolting. So when a phone is in standby it runs at a very low frequency unless there are background tasks consuming resources. Changing the CPU governor depending on the governor you use will raise or lower these values among others. The value (in milliseconds) you want to be decreased is the polling interval so it will check more often what the current utilization is. Of course, you will need to be rooted and some software to change your governor. Before you do all that check your available power settings because the OS power settings often give you (limited) control over this and it would also explain the discrepancy in time it takes to respond between the two of you.

Beware the enormous lag, the ROM is extremely slow, the phone wont be upgraded to Android 5, it will remain on 4.4.4 KK.
Miui 7 is really a 4.4.4 for this device. (only a few Xiaomi phones will get Lollipop)
I have a Redmi 2 for 5 months, Xiaomi iare not planning to develop Lollipop for this smartphone.

The phone is great in it's price range!
Hi! I've been using the Redmi2 4G version for a couple of months now, and I think I'm ready to give an opinion on it, to the best of my abilities.
For this price range, it's actually very tough to beat the Redmi 2, with specs. The looks are premium, you won't feel like using a cheap Chinese-build phone, it's actually well made. I have an issue with the back panel finish, it's rather slippery despite being matte. I'm pretty sure you would have researched on it's specs, so you would know, that it is THE DEAL for it's price category.
The back camera is pretty good, macro mode is specifically good, but night photography isn't that great. Front camera's performance is rather satisfactory.
Battery is pretty good, lasts a day for me, with moderate usage.
There are NO heating issues with my phone. Off course, if you will play Asphalt for a couple of hours straight, it is bound to heat up.
Display is pretty intriguing for a budget phone.
If you've used MIUI in the past, you would know of it's resemblance with the iOS. While MIUI is pleasing to the eyes, and pretty simple to use and learn, I would add, that it's best for the 2GB RAM phones. MIUI with a 1GB RAM phone sucks BIG time, so, yeah, Redmi2 has issues here, lagging, crashing apps at times.
Now, since I prefer the stock-android feel better, I have flashed mine with a pretty stable CM11 ROM.
If you're a heavy gamer, I recommend you to browse phones in higher price ranges. Redmi2 is a good everyday usage phone, but certainly NOT the one for heavy gamers.
Long cut short:- Go for it, it is pretty awesome. P.S. - I don't know if Redmi 2's Prime version(2GB RAM) is available in your country, if it is, rather go for that.
Cheers.

Really i got it attention and look for Redmi 2 cause the specs and good price tag. I use today a Quadcore cortex armv7 snapdragon 200 , but without version updates upper JB 1 (4.1.2) we waiting so far , but the factory strategically isn't willing to put lot of money for invest licences .
This situation made me take a decision to start development at point to create my own roms
I like very much about MIUI, used on my own others devices ( Defy Mb526 Atrix 4G) . One of my works development was inspired by MIUI V6 , creating my design and ported some MI apps for package
I really have interest to get one Redmi. Here just Redmi 2 it's avaliable in local market but others devices will be launched soon like MI 4

Don't expect Lollipop update for Redmi2. The Mi team isn't quite interested in giving Lollipop updates. So, that's quite a letdown.

I'm one of the first buyers here in Brazil. On the launching event, the MIUI Brazilian website got bugged and fewer people was able to buy (I'm one of them, hacking the page).
I got a few complains:
the HDR Camera is laggy as hell when I take pictures.
There's no app drawer.
Sometimes I'm unable to unlock the phone, because of lag (I think). Seriously, this is annoying.
When phone gets too slow, when I go to the home screen the interface reloads itself.
Playing games like Fallout Shelter is a big problem, lagging as hell.
1GB RAM isn't enough for the phone (for me, at least) .
Sometimes the phone heats so much.
The phone has a x64 architecture, but the MIUI is 32 bits. Sounds like a waste of processing power.
There's no support forum for Brazilian users in the official boards.
No Lollipop support and no plans to receive update.
Things I liked:
Built-in security, like Antivirus and cleaning app.
The interface is so beautiful.
LTE (4G here in Brazil) for BOTH sim cards.
I can Easily switch wich sim card to make a call, send SMS or use Mobile data.
The frontal camera has a special facial recognition, telling the age, for example.
The phone charges super fast (2200 mAh battery).
It's cheap, compared to other phones. It costs less than $ 150 (at the time I bought it).
I don't think that I'm a hard user for this phone (seriously, I didn't even play so much on the phone). I know it's a mid-term smart phone. But the MIUI lag is annoying (I got crazy sometimes). I tried to use the beta versions of the MIUI rom, tried to use performance scripts, Greenify, other camera apps.
Now I'm using a customized CM 12.1 for the device, to see if I'm able to use easily the phone, like driving in my car, got lost and easily open Waze or Google Maps to see where I need to go. Actually, I need to stop and park the car, clean current apps (some times reboot) to properly use.
nice reply @juliovedovatto
i have for several days a 2GB RAM / 16 GB ROM version and I can say that I have none of the below mentioned lagging problems.
What else is different in my setup is that I am already on MIUI 7 developer.
I should admit also that I did not play any game.
Coming from an Iphone I am kind of used of not having an app drawer and MIUI 7 is pretty eye candy...
Right now I am considering if CM (11 or 12) are worth the try... I think the main gain will be a battery life increase (at least from my other experience with CM), but I cannot see any other benefits, at least for me. I should study a bit more.
aaaah... battery lasts ~1 day. less if you use a lot the screen... max so far for me is 1 1/2 days

If you want to try the CM roms, I need to advise you: see what model your phone is. Actually the CM roms supports only HM2014811-HM2014813. The compiled baseband maybe does not work for you Redmi model.
There's a chance of you apply the rom and it does not have support for LTE networks. Like my case, my phone is HM2014819 and I discovered this misfortune today, after reading tons of posts and articles and flashing 10 times my phone
The good news that the performance of CM is far superior than the MIUI roms.
I own a 2014813 :angel:
nevertheless the battery life i see as the main gain of CM vs MIUI. Is there something else worthing, I mean like really making a difference?

Thanks @juliovedovatto for your feedback, have good experience and content for fixes report.
The Xiaomi Team recently replied me about issues that have been causing, lags and this report turn around the device performance, it's needed constant evolution to directing it in fixes updates. All of Redmi owner's can do it mentioning in Xiaomi support channels
They also informed that the objectives for now is update for MI7 and we will be wait this results!

For example, when Skype is running on the background, it disconnects itself (and its icon disappears from notification line) and when I click its icon again, it opens as if I freshly opened it, loading everything again. It was locked in recent apps so it won't stop. But it will. Even when nothing else is running. Sometimes when I have browser and few other apps running at once (not many, two or three other apps) and a music player, sometimes the music randomly stops - it is killed for RAM even if it's locked (i absolutely hate this on MIUI but fortunately it happens quite rarely now, perhaps the last weekly update messed something up again).
MIUI is extremely RAM-hungry. I mean - if Windows XP can run on 512 MB RAM device and be perfectly usable even for complex work, what is this supposed to be? And with Cyanogen on my Redmi 2, there is still buttload of free RAM when I have several apps opened just like before on MIUI. Currently I'm running CM12 Lollipop ROM made by Zwiliev which I installed today, when I finally got tired of MIUI. And since some V6 build, Mass Storage disappeared so there is no sane way to connect a phone as a flash drive. For me, Cyanogen solved all those things, and many more that I don't feel like writing down here.
On the other hand, the Redmi 2 itself is a decent phone. With very nice headphone output quality - the best of all phones I've ever had. The camera is pretty good, too. The display is beautiful - i thought that it is nuts to have 1024xSomething resolution on a device this small but it really looks very good. And MIUI has in-built root capability, at least. Wifi is powerful enough to have signal where my previous smartphone was already out of range. Replaceable battery and memory card slot. The hardware is indeed very very good for those money so if you don't mind using Cyanogen, buy it
Yay, this is gonna be my tenth post so finally I can send feedback to ROM developers (AT LONG LAST! WHICH PORK HEAD'S IDEA WAS THIS?)
Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think that the stock android that comes with the A2 Lite is pretty terrible. I had to root it, then get xposed to work, and just after that I could make things look like I always wanted, but then there is a bigger problem. Overall performance, input lag, and stuff like this is really slow, I uninstalled bloatware, clear cache often, reboot every week, and yet it is slow. The only solution I see is a decently ported custom rom. Which is yet not really available.

Lineage OS?
Haven't noticed anything that bothered me at all. I mostly use it for deving, whatsapp and mail.
I bought the 3GB/32GB version. Coming from the Mi Max 2 that was flying with the same SoC, I am disappointed by the performance. At first, I set it up by restoring the previous apps and settings via the Google backup. It lagged as hell. So I did a clean setup and things are better now but not as I expected coming to a stock Android phone from a MIUI one that is considered to be a "heavy" fork.

The "stock" Android that comes with the A2 Lite is (surprise, surprise) stock, not sure what's terrible about that. There is no bloatware and the only app that can't be removed is a Mi Feedback app which is easy to hide. It's obvious that your performance issues are down to Xposed, not the phone.
Admittedly I'm coming from a much lower end phone (Vodafone Smart Ultra 6) but this thing fly's, how anyone can see lag on it anywhere is beyond me.

It may be with the fact that I had a phone with double the performance, but I really see this phone lag, and I am using it for a month only, while my phone before was 2 years old, and yet lightning fast(with miui)
I haven't noticed ANY problem with the 4/64 model. It is very fast (compared to an iPhone 7 or a Xperia Z3) and smooth. A delight :good:
I really don't see how it could be better (of course I'm not speaking about PUBG or Epic Citadel)...
Coming from an older Moto G4 (2016) running almost stock Nougat this device feels like a rocket in terms of speed and fluidness. The only thing I'm missing is the superb ambient display from Motorola.
The phone feels very stable and fast during daily use. I have the 4gb ram model.
But when I use resource intensive apps like Outlook or and/or I quickly switch between apps I can definitely feel the limits of the SD625.
Overall nothing to complain, incredible phone for €200.
I am actually very surprised by this phone. For 170 dollars? What can you expect? FHD display, notch, 4000mAh battery, alluminium body, good built quality, neat performance + Android one. I can definitely play PUBG on medium settings for 4 hours no problem. 3GB/32GB version. IT`S AN AWESOME PHONE.
Waiting for Android 9.0 <3
4GB/64GB model is much faster than my original Pixel XL by miles, both on Stock Android in day to day tasks and everyday usage. It's as fast as any phone I've used.
is this phone capable for encryption?? I am between this and the mi a2 with the 660 but cannot decide which one is better. I like the 4000 battery and the jack.

Mi A2 Lite uses encryption by default. As for the battery, I'm at 49% battery with 7:46h screen on time. With normal A2 my battery would have been to 0% approximately an hour ago.
ok thanks.

It may be with the fact that I had a phone with double the performance, but I really see this phone lag, and I am using it for a month only, while my phone before was 2 years old, and yet lightning fast(with miui)

The Mi A2 Lite lags if you install Xposed Framework. I've noticed the difference in performance after installing Xposed. It's because Xposed doesn't fully Support -v8a architecture.
Hello, I'm creating an account in order to give my real-life review of this phone. The previous phones I had were HTC One M8, LG G6.
Please keep in mind that I am a light user.
I do not play games on the device and the most used apps on my phone are
- Messages
- YouTube
- Outlook
- Firefox
- Microsoft Excel
While this device is rocking a 625 SOC, there is no lag at all. This may be thanks to stock Android. I am very confident to say that it is as fast as my LG G6 I had before.
Nothing to complain about.
the phone is very fast
Does anyone have a hands on comparison with Snapdragon 800?
I am looking for a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I don't want a slower phone (no games, just daily usage, facebook, whatsapp, tapatalk, opera or firefox, switching between apps)...
Fast enough for daily usage.
I rooted it to use Battery Charge Limit and Greenify
No problem when playing pubg on smooth graphic setting.
I am also very satisfied with the battery backup and stock android experience.
Would you say that the Xiaomi Poco F1 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Poco F1 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

AnTuTu Oneplus 6 vs POCOPHONE F1 vs Xiaomi MI MIX 2S
Oneplus 6 (8/256) android 8.1.0
POCOPHONE F1 (6/64) android 8.1.0
Xiaomi MI MIX 2S (8/256) android 8.0.0
Hi,
Beyond Antutu scores, I think the Pocophone feels smooth and really fast !
It may be a little behind the mi8, the OP6 or the mi mix 2s, but if you consider the price, I consider it a fair trade

My test results. CPU temp was at 39C a minute after the test completed. Wish I had root to lock the gpu and cpu at highest frequency and then test. Surely would have been number 1.
Completely stock miui 10 8.9.18 and no debloat or any tweaks.
The fast faster fastest :laugh::laugh::laugh:
is it true that some phones fake the benchmarks? does Xiaomi do that ?
Also does the speed increase if you are using custom rom vs the official rom ?

1-Yep for example Huawei was caught recently
2-There is a possibility
3- depends on the rom , right now performance wise stock rom /miui.eu is better then aosp , because all the aosp rom is alpha stage

I am not expert to judge by test result, All I care about is the speed, no lag or hanging . I do nor care about camera or graphics, so pls advice, should I but Oneplus 6 or Pocophone 1 ? I heard that Xiaomi phone although they start good, but by time, they loose their speed gradually and starts to lag .
Also knew the notifications in the Poco are not shown at the top of the screen , is there easy solution for that ?
I had a OP 5t and loved it by I lost and looking for a new phone.

Hi,
As far as I am concerned, I'd go for the Pocophone because :
- it has no AMOLED (I don't like AMOLED displays because they tend to turn out blueish or yellish at certain viewing angles) ;
- because it has larger battery ;
- because it has headphone jack ;
- because it's way cheaper than the OP6 or OP6T.
The overall build quality and materials used may be porrer than the ones used in OnePlus, but I have the Poco and honestly... it doesn't look at all like a cheap device !
About your concern for the lasting performance : I've had Xiaomi devices for years. The previous one was a mi5s Plus I've kept for 2 years. It felt as fast as the first day after 2 years of use... Of course, after a factory reset, because installing hundreds of apps may slow it down in time... But that are the apps, not the hardware...
Hope this helped.
Regards.
P.S. : maybe benchmarks may show a 3% performance loss... It might be measurable. But will you feel it in your daily usage ? I think not...

It looks like Poco F1 is a fair deal in that price. Thanks for all the information provided.
It's quite hot where I live now so I did 2 different Geekbench tests
Room temperature vs. Refrigerator lol
Cant believe it's the same phone
I think the single core score would've been better had I left the phone in the refrigerator for a few minutes and THEN ran it
But nah I'm not risking it again
Bought one last week. Updated it to MIUI 10/A9Pie.
AnTuTu-ted it and...

I love my RN7,now falling in love in my RN8 pro..
It's amazing..and yes.. you can love your phone ?
Love speed, camera, battery. For me personally it's far better then my former phone (Mi Mix 2s)
Little cons:
- notification LED is far too small
- backside is too slippery (I won't use it without a case)
Display.. this is the perfect size and I love this phone..
Battery.. ?
I have ordered the phone 6/128 variant, will get tomorrow or day after. I'm excited but worrisome about the camera result at the same time. Let's see
Mine should also arrive tomorrow. I went with 6/64 variant, but that's good enough for me. Will report after a couple of days of use.
This is a really good phone at a really good price.
I just love the battery charging speed in this price segment.
I got my phone today and reading mode is turned off still at night, my display seems yellowish.
Check the screenshot.
This phone is everything I expected and more. The only few cons are overshadowed by it's price. Guess everyone was wrong about G90T. No oveeheating, smooth peeformance all the way. Also... more than decent primary shooter, great battery life,... Glad I went for this over P20 Lite. And cheaper too. Now only thing left is the wait until MIUI 11.
my good old Samsung Note 4 broke down, now I also have a Redmi Note 8 Pro, I love the phone too xD
Phone is awesome
Note 8 Pro Love
Had my phone a couple of days - upgraded from redmi note 7. So far loving it, seems really quick and glad to now have NFC. Face unlock is very quick and the main camera seems to be good - more testing needed though. Only annoying thing is lack of HD playback on Netflix.
Ian
I like this phone. Good quality, very fast, and battery life is amazing. My biggest downfall is lacking immediate bootloader unlock and lack of ROMs. I am hoping this phone will become more free and capable of customization.
The phone is really good and fast, apart from few problems, everything else is love. Camera is having some real issues and those for sure are due to software. Hardware for the main camera is the same as Realme XT then why improved video quality for XT? Xiaomi needs to improve the camera software so that you can rate this phone 10/10.
USA version that works with AT&T
Can any verify if RN8 / Pro will support AT&T LTE?

If your carrier have LTE, phone support it.
I have 4G+ with my provider. Telenor
By far the best 230$ I've ever spent on a device. Just updated to miui 11 they def made some great improvements. My gf has a big gig note 9 she's like I want a RN8 pro her daughter has a S8 plus she's ordering one today. The camera and fluidness with this phone is amazing. Say what you want but this mediatek soc gets things done. There's rumors of a SD 730g series RN 8 pro but it's not going to happen it's a rumor so people are waiting for that variant to come out. Lol enjoy your wait.
Hello! Do you have information when the pixel experience firmware comes out on Redmi Note 8 Pro?
Bought it online China set China rom with installed Google 8/126, tried to find indian version due to dedicated sd card but not available. Previously owns mi max prime with global rom and it was easy to play with because google is available.
With RN8P china set/rom i had to explore deeply especially when using the browser which automatically give us several option either using baidu or sm (dun know what is this). Even cant use in app purchase at first which makes me feel little disappointed and ready to unlock and install global rom :laugh: and already download the software to start the operation
Luckily, after exploring in the phone i can change the browser in english permanently (unless i reset it) and also watched in youtube how to enable in app purchase if using china rom.
Now i feel happy because the replacement of my loyal mi max prime is up to my standard
Camera: Excellent with lot of option (i'm not expert but it looks great) dont need gcam...for now
Speed/Charging: Fast response
Network: Sometime I've got 4+ even though my line is supporting up to 4g only
Memory: Great, 126gb is my minimum standard requirement, can expand it using sd card
Keyboard: I'm using xperia
Gaming: Not a fan for heavy games for android. Got only Clash of Clans and Candy Crush...yeah just 2:laugh: but kind noticed the changing in temperature at back body.
Sound: Loud and clear, need to memorized that the ear speaker hole is just at the top edge
Processor: MTK? SD? nah....i'm not an expert
Satisfaction: Human never satisfied..just call it enough to sustain at least 2 years from now

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.
> I installed cpu z and it's actually exynos
Then this wasn't true and you only have the 4G version (SM-G780F):

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.
