This phone is the fastest experience that Android offers. Period! This is not only because the Snapdragon 835, 8GB of 1866MHz DDR4 RAM and fast read/write speeds to the 64GB storage. It's also because of perception. Since the display can refresh at 120Hz it just feels like it has more processing power than the other SD835 based phones out there. It will still seem faster than the SD845 when released so it will be my main phone for longer than the OnePlus 5 was.

Fastest phone I've ever used. Faster than the s8 I had too which is based on the same soc.

I have yet to run into a single slow down on the phone. Everything loads and runs quickly. App swapping is near instantaneous. Boot times are quick, especially considering it isn't currently running Oreo.

Lightning fast! But I have to say, I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and a Wileyfox Swift 2X. Anything is fast after that

Fastest phone I ever owned.

Blazing fast! Especially with the 120Hz screen

Hands down a beast of a phone. 8GB with what seems to be a very good handle on which apps to swap out of memory makes for a good phone.
Scored top of the charts for Passmark's android average benchmark comparison. Beat Google's pixel 2 lineup which is also based on a newer version of the OS.
I've yet to see it's slow down. Not sure if it's the cpu or amount of ram, but of course only a combo of both will bring up the bottom line.
Awesome RAM. Multitasking is perfect.

Normal S9, the apps seems to be get laggy after 6 apps.
I dont see any kind of lag even when lots of apps are on background. Apps may reload, but just that. I'm satisfied from the perfomance and dont regret getting the 6GB s9+
Using my S9 (without plus) for about a month with not a single lag... I've over 100 user installed apps, so there should be at least a lag potential

Maybe samsung should put 6gb of ram on S9 too.. same chipset etc. Almost same firmware. I dont know why do they do **** like this? Even chinese brands xiaomi, huawei, oppo have 6gb of ram on every 2018. flagship. 4 gb is outdated. Xiaomi mi6 from 2017 had 6 gigs..
Galaxy S7 from 2016 had 4gb. Samsung. Use brains!!

Yes.Would love to see some comparisons for this.I hear the sd 660 is as fast as the sd 820 from a few years ago.
Phones generally are too fast Nowadays anyway so Im fine with the speed of the sd 660 on paper.Should be fine for day to day tasks

I'm thinking about swapping my op3 to Nokia 7plus. Do you think that performance will be at similar level?

Im actually looking to swap my op3 too.I think performamce will be the same,but not much better. Im probably gonna keep an eye on the op6 to see what price that is before committing to anything.The main advantage to the 7+ is Android One and fast updates.I hear the camera is better than the 5t also.
One thing Im not quite happy with about the 7+ us its design .Its fairly beefy and the nokia branding looks tacky on the front.The op3 is definitely a cooler phone,though I do like the bigger batery on tbe 7+

Actually you're both wrong in a good way
The CPU of the Snapdragon 660 SoC is within 5-10% of the Snapdragon 835 depending on the benchmark you run. This can be attributed to the 10% or so lower clockspeed of the big cores.
The GPU is a lot slower than the 835 monster of a chip but it's still the same as a 821 GPU. So yes, it is actually faster in the SoC department. The nand flash will probably be a little bit slower than that of the OP3 but that shouldn't affect you too much.
It's a very good phone and you'll enjoy the experience since the 8.1 firmware they have fixed all the little bugs.
The camera is also very good, especially in daylight. Please note that the OP3 has Optical image stabilization and that maybe you'll miss the AMOLED screen.
But it is a really good phone. And else the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is also the same size and a very good phone with an amazing battery life. The screens are comparable but the Nokia seems to have a little more staurated colours. Brightness is almost the same in auto mode.
The Xiaomi has a bigger battery and lasts much longer but is lighter and feels like a tank. If you're handy flash a stock ROM and it's almost the same experience as the Nokia.
N7+ speed
Antutu Benchmark gives 140000+ overall score, ranks 38 in all phones..

Snapdragon 660 has Adreno 512 GPU, while Snapdragon 821 has Adreno 530. 530 is almost twice as fast.
Coming from OnePlus One, the Nokia 7 Plus does feel a bit snappier. But sometimes I feel that the firmware is still not fully optimized, switching recent apps feels a bit slower and not fluid. However from what I saw in videos showing Android P on Nokia 7 Plus it does look smoother than current Oreo 8.1.
Tl;dr it is snappier than my OnePlus One but not really snappy. Might be fixed in future updates.

You may be able to grab a free google home mini (if it's available) until late June if you want to bite the bullet
Micro Bumping. I'm not noticing any lag on this phone (some games do but I blame the game). The phone is super snappy and fast, and is perhaps the fastest phone I've used. I put this down to the stock android as well, because other phones using "Custom Android" almost never run as good as Stock. The Antutu benchmarks mean nothing, it's a phone. As long as it works without lag, it works fine.
Day To Day use : Absolutely amazing. No lag with fingerprint, and the apps load without issues
I have purchased TA - 1062 variant and in terms of speed there is nothing I can be unhapy about. everything is smooth and fast. I have even compared 7+ with some SD835 devices and I was unable to notice any differences. Some sites were loaded faster with 7+ some with others and so were the apps.
This phone feels like Android Go brick. I expected far more for the price.
This device is amazing. It's fast, smooth and reliable.

As per the leaks, S10 plus will have 12GB of ram. Multitasking is much easier than the previous versions. And it has exynos 9820 octa a powerful chip.
Lol you were in another thread stating that the s10+ will have 10gb of ram. Which is it...10 or 12?
After re-reading that post I stand corrected you did say 12gb in the other post. My bad.

There will be different iterations, with 6, 8 and 12 gb's of ram. There will be three regular versions of it, and one 5g version.
All 3 variants are responsive, smooth, or your preferred adjective. Didn't encounter any performance hiccups - not that that's surprising. This IS the 855 after all. 835 is still speedy, so wouldn't expect anything less of their latest chip.
What I have seen says either 10 or 12 GB RAM. Also, from what I have read, there is a version with a Snapdragon 855 processor in it, which is what I will be getting along with the one that has 12GB of RAM.
Edit: Also as is well known, phones can be made faster by turning off animations and transitions and other aesthetic things added in just to make the front end look pretty. For max speed I suggest Nova Launcher.

US/CAN receive Snapdragon variants, whereas Europe gets the Exynos model. This has been the case for a while.
You should stick to the one from your region, however, for the sake of warranty and repairs. For example, Samsung UK won't honor a warranty for a US model (and vice versa).
Exynos 9820 very impressive speed.
Exynos version is not for gaming at all.
Coming from a OnePlus 5, this thing is a major downgrade.

The phone switches between opened apps very fast. In my case the average RAM usage is about 3,5 GB. I have the 6GB version. Never experienced lags when switching between apps neither did I notice that an app had to be reloaded to RAM due to insufficient RAM.
i have 6gb 5g ace metro branded. 4 months in, ram management has been sufficient. Having realistic expectations of the hardware/software, i can't say that i've been disappointed.
