Scrolling smoothness - Huawei Mate 10 Real Life Review

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 Huawei Mate 10 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".

Mate 10 pro is a little choppy while scrolling in certain apps and sites.
I hope this gets ironed down in future software releases.
Definitely I didn't have this problem with mi mix 2 that was silky smooth.
Emui feels a bit heavy

Hate it
Note 8 and OnePlus 5 is way, way ,WAY smoother and better user experience

Strange, I haven't witnessed any choppiness at all.

Mate 10 (non-pro) smooth as silk. No lag or choppiness at all.

I experience the same choppiness sadly.

I just got the phone yesterday, I thought the choppiness was because the phone was installing and going through setup but today it still is choppy in places.
I immediately put it back in the box. The UI is a mess too. I learnt my lesson not to use a device other than a pixel or OnePlus

Cant be better. im shocked that people feel chopiness. dont know why. even in real heavy use it was smooth as silk for me.

It was choppy and laggy out of the box. Takes a week or two for AI to arrange things, in 90% of scenarios works as smooth as any Pixel then. Sometimes, in cases of weak signal and max screen brightness....cpu governor throttles Kirin in order to reduce battery consumption, then u can encounter some lag and choppyness described at beginning of this post.
These r my findings after 3 weeks with mate 10 pro.

Since I'm an exclusive Huawei user for 5 years now, ( I used mediapad x1, honor 4c, mate 8, nova plus, and now the mate 10)
Yes, the ui is choppy sometimes, but it never freezes and requires me to reboot the device like how Samsung devices does ( last Samsung device I used before I switch to Huawei was the galaxy note 3).

After using the Huawei mate 10 for 2 weeks now I can say this
DON'T BUY THIS PHONE
for a flagship with a flagship price you'd expect much much better performance, apps takes seconds to open, animations are slow stutters like hell even after setting the animation to 0.5
I never felt I gained any speed bump from my 2 years old mate 8.
In short it's a ****ty deal to buy the Huawei mate 10.

So, I got the android pie update just now, and my oh my, all animation stutters and bugs are gone, the phone is speedy as it should be and as worthy of a flagship, thanks to the added performance mode...
I'll post another comment after I test how's the battery performance

PERFORMANCE: Overall Speed

Would you say that the Note5 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Note5 exhibits fantastic performance.

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?

moded swiftkey??
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 ??

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

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Nokia 7 Plus performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Nokia 7 Plus keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

There are some jitters and multitasking isn't as smooth as I thought. Also, the phone reload the apps contents while multitasking. Didn't expect that.

I experienced ram management issues. Performance is slow and laggy. Performs like a 5 year old device.

8.0. but after a long wait I just received the 8.1 update. Hopefully it addresses the issues.

Yeah. 8.0 in itself was a buggy release from Google (as is usually the case). 8.1 is super smooth but still a few rough edges are present.

I am on 8.1 quite a few rough edges to fix...with animation not smooth in multi tasking..i even got a screen froze...had to lock and unlock the device to unfreeze it...i just hope nokia iron out the issues...

I guess we just have to wait for a while for Android P. Since it is sure that Nokia 7 Plus will be the first device from Nokia to get the Android P update. Android P looks quite promising in terms of speed and performance with a mix of AI.
sad to hear this. Now im skeptical to buy this phone
i don't have any problem/lags... but i don't like animation, then have disable it in Developer setting, and feel of UI is super fast...
Multitasking isn't great. Xiaomi Mi A1 was better in that regard despite worse specs. Nokia lags when switching apps and doesn't hold apps in ram that good. Didn't expect that from a clean Android device. It's not terrible, but could be much better. I hope Nokia will do something about that or else I'll consider switching to OP6.
@K.khiladi, @awells845, @Y45
Can anyone share a brief video of the multitasking lag and jitter etc happening, i am thinking to buy this phone and want to see how much laggy it really is.
Good
After android 10 update everything seems to be perfect.

Gonna say overall 3.5/5 to be honest. The thing that drastically lets it down is the lag that I experience when apps are running. I can just launch one single game and I'll already experience some lag. How on earth can my phone be at around 4gb of ram / 6gb of ram when IDLE??
sometimes gestures ( home/recent) can be bit glitchy, but other than that, its flying through everything
it's fast opening apps (probably to look good on YouTube "speed tests" as they used to cheat in benchmarks) but kinda slow in normal use, not really slow but at Note 9 level with a lot of frame dropping, not as smooth as OnePlus 6 (and I assume 6T but I haven't used that)
I think it's like 3/5 for initial speed on start up. After it settles down and used a bit. I assume everything is in memory and quickly accessible with out things running/loading in the background. Then it's 4.5/5. But YYMV.
Needs a little bit of tweaking, but very fast
Went back to the P20 Pro for a few days... The kirin 980 is much faster in everything
awesome speed. love the mate series since mate 9. butter smooth

I've been power using the N10 Snapdragon variant for a lil over a week. I'm transitioning from my Pixel 3XL, comparatively I can't tell the difference other than the amount of apps which the phone can seamlessly run and provide an over all smooth fluid switch between. This N10 with it's 8GB Ram, and 2.8ghz CPU is powerful, I have struggled to give this phone a run for it's money. I like to run multiple drawing, audio editing, and chrome tabs for hours at a time. When I'm gaming the phone stays cool and seamlessly plays my YouTube in the background, usually accompanied by several random chrome tabs + my most frequent apps social media platforms stay running and have almost no lag reopening even after hours of being untouched. Personally it blows my mind how exponentially smartphone performance overall is increasing. My Note 10 is a Beast!
A major link in the chain for the Note Legacy in my opinion.
I haven't been this pleased by Sam since the Note 5.
Comment - soooooo grateful they made the smaller N10 variant!! That N10+ is overkilled overkill and had it been the only option, Samsung would've taken another L from me this year. Been a while but after Evie launcher installation + pixel icon pack Samsung's Rom is almost visually bearable enough to look at.
!!!BEAST!!!!
Yeah, you are lucky that you have snapdragon version! Try once exynos and you will change your mind...more heat, cpu throttling, less sot etc! Only positive thing is that i have dual sim that I really need

Note 10+ /exynos 12gb ram here.
Been using it on pwer saving mode since i got it and i don't remember a single time it reloaded anything to be honest,pubg works on ultra without a single hiccup at 60fps.dead effect 2 on ultra everything runs 60fps with no hiccups.
Firefox with ublock origins and youtube on desktop mode + gaming works with no lags and the pen features makes me wonder why the hell isn't it on every single phone ever,i regularly hit 8_10hours of sot with 30% brightness and wifi,sync enabled and no gps.
No Facebook or Instagram crap though,years ago i noticed they never stop running in the background even when you turn off everything they just keep spamming requests to run (deteced with AppOps)
