Too bad I'm in the US and the G6+ won't be here, but the regular G6 is faster than I thought it would be. I heavily underestimated the Snapdragon 450, as everything on here is ultra smooth and quick. No complaints.

definitely a step up from the sd617 that would get so hot that my g4+ screen would start ghost touching lololol

Coming from a Galaxy S4, it's extremely quick. I'm very happy with it and the battery life is also amazing.

bought it for my wife. i have xforce. antutu is my 120, its 65. but in use it all flies. for the money a great phone.

Went from a Moto x 2014 to Moto G6 play and now to a G6. Wow! The speed on the G6 is great. Zero lag, everything loads fast and the 3 gb of RAM is more than enough to keep up. The G6 plays downfall is the 2gb ram I believe. Just doesn't seem to be enough for average multitasking. The 4000 mAh battery was nice though!

Sometimes it has lag at text input, and multitasking.

SD450 is disappointing, would have liked to see at least a 600 series on this. Have to lower settings in resource-hungry games to play them comfortably. For everyday use though the G6 does just fine.

I currently have the Honor View 10 that uses the same SoC, memory and very similar software. My daily use has been great and I've never faced clutters or slow downs in the performance. The battery life is also top notch, thanks in large to the under the hood optimisations in the EMUI 8.0
Overall speed and performance really good.. No lag no slow down..
I have been using it from a couple of days and its performance is fine and no lags till now. And BTW mine is a 4GB variant.
For me is good. I'm satisfied for heavy business use.
For the price, this phone has exceptional performance. It can easily be compared to some of the other top flagships from around its release date. The Kirin 970 paired with 4GB of RAM and plenty to keep everything running smoothly.
Honor 10's overall speed is excellent. Even after 2 years of use. I look on social networks, write articles for a my webmaster blog from my phone, take pictures. No complaints.

I didn't cry in the Titanic, but this phone keeps up. If 10 was the highest, I'd put it at a 7. Specs work well with the OS but suffer a bit in extreme multi tasking. Better than the other Moto phone's I've had though
As fast as those $1000 dollar phones.
Coming from a Pixel XL... the Moto Z3 Play is preforming just as good if not better. And the screen is nicer in my opinion. No regrets whatsoever about this phone!
A solid 7 out of 10.. I have a note 9 and Pixel 2xl.
I use the Z3 play the most.

8 out of 10, smooth and reasonably fast

Fast enough, it doesn't frustrate me or piss me off like some other mid-range phone I've owned have. It holds up fine. My wife has the Galaxy S9+ and I can totally tell the difference between build quality and speed but I'm happy with my Z3.

I agree with you, comparing it to a high end Samsung or most flagship phones is not really fair. But in it's range it's pretty damned good. No problems with general use. I picked one up a few months back unlocked US version with the battery mod included. on sale, plus some Best Buy money and a sale of a decent older phone for cheap. I needed something while my 3xl was out for repair. To be honest it performed far better than I expected. Use it on my Fi account. I know with the battery mod it can be bulky, but on the positive side it feels good in the hand. Just put a screen protector on it because I couldn't find a case which fit both, and honestly haven't tried to find a case since.
Coming from a Galaxy S6 Edge and this phone is worlds better. I can't speed to battery life on it just yet, but I am finding that the device can take everything I can throw at it so far and laugh. It does hiccup from time to time, but I honestly got this phone REFURB in Grade 'A' condition (looked brand new to me) for $175 after tax and I feel like I lucked out. I haven't had it close any apps on me just yet, and the UI is much snappier than my S6. I just updated everything to 9.0 and loving it more and more.
I'll report back in a few weeks but I'd buy this phone again in a heart beat. (it is a little big for me, but for $175 . . . I'll deal with it)
It's rather fast with 18W PD charger, but battery module is another story.

I been playing with this phone now for a week or so. Overall it is fine - Android 10 UI is snappy, battery life is decent for a 3500 mah capacity. Apps work as expected. But nothing really outstanding in terms of performance - online browsing and viewing media content in Chrome is at best average .I don't play games so there is nothing I can report in this respect. I am not much into phone cameras (usually I would make a short video once in a while) so this has never been a selling point to me. Touchscreen response for me has been pretty good so far. All in all, a phone that wont be turning any heads, with a subpar (outdated) HW architecture ( A73/A53 BigLittle cluster + 16 nm Mali GPU) and a decent AndroidOne OS.
Considering the phone debuted at 270 Eur in Oct 2019 -I did expect that it could arguably best a 2016 Moto Z device. However Motorola seems to be drifting away from the concept of creating modern , real mid-range phones in recent years, and instead coming out with equipment based on outdated architecture ( albeit a Samsung chipset in this case). The only exception to this are the Zoom and Z4 but they sell for 350-400 Eur and offer a sd 675 paired with a 4GB RAM (du-uh). At that price I think a lot of people will choose for example the Axon 10 pro with a SD 855, wont they?
I have been using Moto Z for the past 2.5 years on LOS 16/17 and sadly, it still blows away the Moto One Action in every department.

All I can say is this this is faster now with Android 10 Booting is faster than Windows 10. The old Xperia Z5compact would have booted eventually but the 5 is a BEAST at booting. Everything else is fantastic too. No lag here. I don't install tonnes of games though so haven't loaded this baby up to see how it would cope with crap.
I just keep what I need to use and oh Black Desert online is a game you might want to try out on this phone. 3Gig install now doesn't seem so large. Saying this I've got it on a Kindle 8 so considering its size it's still still playable and looks pretty too.
Sony have done their homework with this handset. I'm satisfied.
One thing I have noticed. If you activate Stamina mode this will affect performance. No more buttery smooth scrolling for you. So decide battery saving of nice user experience.
I'd say that this phone is fast as it supposed to be according to hardware specs. BUT having Pixel 4 at the same time for comparison, X5 doesn't feel as fast as P4. I believe that it will be very hard to find slow&full of lags Snapdragon 855 flagship device.
This thing is lightning fast
Almost stock android and 855 chip. It's going be fast. Nothing note worthy to report.
Let me tell you this. At this date and time, this phone is a rocket, running Android 10 55.1.A.8.11
All I can tell you about Xperia 5 is not 100%. I have only one thing that is totaly bad: recording video 4K from stand by mode is totaly broken. Video freeze often. When recording second video, its better, but no 100% continuous.
So sad. So disappointment.

It may not feature the latest chip, but it's a lot more responsive than my S8. Apps install quickly and open at a good speed. Ignoring games this phone is pretty consistent.
I'd say it offers speed comparable to a 2019 device, like I haven't found myself missing my LG G8.
Yeah. It doesn't burn my fingers at all, you know, when I use it, but, where some grunt counts the phone has it. If I put animations to .5 it just gets to be too much, as in, fuk'n quit acting faster than I can think, phone. It ain't slow.
