Very smooth for the most part but occasionally it sticks and I end up choosing something by accident.
i returned my first pixel 3 because the scrolling was major jittery. didn't need anything running in the background. the replacement device was the same. i've been to at least 8 Verizon stores in CT and CA to see if it was just my ****e luck. nope. although i finally found one pixel 3 in Pasadena that had smooth scrolling.
think most people don't notice it for some reason. anyone I showed it to absolutely saw it, including Verizon sales people.
Yeah, the Pixel 3 drops frames during scrolling (especially web pages in Chrome). Of course it won't stutter in your Contacts app, but that's to be expected - it's extremely lightweight and mostly text + small user icon. But browser pages... gosh, I DO believe that Pixel 1 (OG) is better than this (have both).

...or maybe it's just chrome getting more and more laggy. Also happens on the desktop (mac at least) version. Getting worse at each version.
I was wondering this, and at least I know it's not just me. Periodically I see stuttering although it's not the end of the world. I think just from off the top of my head, the OG Pixel worked the best. Never had app closing in the RAM and even though it was basic looking, it worked the best.
All the Pixel 3's I've tried, 3 of them, were dropping frames all over the place, specially after continuous use when phone would get warm and underclock. My Pixel 2 by comparison is completely fluid in the same scenarios.
I have been using the Pixel 3 since august 2019, very smooth and fast scrolling.
Deppending on the app, it may jitter sometimes if extra loading is vecessary, but no worse than other devices.
Nuff boi squark senselessly smooth as a buttered crab back

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.

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

I'm coming from years of using Windows Phone. My first phone was the Lumia Icon. This is my second Android phone since the Samsung S3. For now I find this phone zippy fast. No lag anywhere other than the fingerprint scanner, which finds itself not registering my thumb after a while. I've installed the usual Microsoft apps from my Windows Phone experience on this phone. I find they work better with Android than in Microsoft's own environment. I don't play games on the phone, so I can't say much about that. But other than game speed, this phone is responsive when opening any app or setting. I didn't uninstall any Vivo apps. I just set my defaults to my edge browser, outlook, Cortana and all Microsoft apps i used from my previous phone. When it comes to setting reminders, I find Cortana to be much quicker in setting one up.
The one thing I find about Android is you have to take more steps in completing a task than in a Microsoft phone. You have to have used a Windows Phone to understand what I'm talking about. An example is pinning a most used Settings shortcut to your Home screen. You could pin a Settings shortcut directly to your home screen in Windows Phone with no additional help from a third party app.
My biggest complaint with the Vivo NEX is the fingerprint scanner's flaky response when I need access to the phone.
What a beast
synthetic benchmarks aside, I am very impressed by the software performance, I use the fastest animation speed in dev options 0.5x. For me its totally lag free, no micro lag, it is the fastest device I have tried. I did try the Note 9 and this feels a lot faster.
While especially the Chinese version contain "bloat" it does not slow down the system, people often confuse bloat with lag or performance problems but this is as fast as 845 gets, I think funtouch is underrated. Personally I prefer the style instead of Vanilla, I prefer transparent UI like iOS it looks more timeless and less dated to me. Windows has it and Linux etc.. Google dont care to introduce transparent UI elements cause all people would call them iOS rip off..I just think they should do it, transperent looks mordern and timeless and dynamic.
It's pretty fast, I turned the animations off so I have no lag. It's not as fast as the IPhone X or note 9 but it's fast enough.
J7
This is faster than the iPhone X, and by quite a bit. I'm not sure what the poster was referring to, but this phone absolutely destroys the X in terms of performance. The X can't even support HDR videos on YouTube.
Nex S is a beauty and a beast in one body, so fast, the camera is now perfect (with gcam ported, it beat the Huawei P20 Pro in low light !) and gaming is so smooth, i have nothing to complaint, the oled display is top notch (without a notch )
good
oo

I don`t have the LG G8 but some reviewers are talking about a lag. Have you experienced such thing?
This quote is from phonearena review
One thing that surprised us negatively when using the LG G8 was the amount of lag and stutter in places where you would not expect it like in the home screen and the recent apps interface.
This definitely feels like a bug in the LG interface and something that we have seen on pre-production devices, but definitely not something that we can tolerate in a phone, let alone a flagship. The stutter is quite noticeable, but we do hope that the company will fix it with an update as this seems to be some kind of a bug and this is definitely not expected in a phone with the latest and most powerful Snapdragon chip around.

I have a LG G8 and I have seen this issue.
Scrolling smoothness and responsiveness is always perfect after a reboot, but after some time (a day or 2) it gets choppy and a little laggy. It clears up after a reboot. I have not been able to clear it up by closing apps. And it does not seem to be affected by the resolution setting. I also have not found that starting any specific app seems to cause it.
I have seen the choppiness in Nova Launcher's app draw, Chrome and Kiwi Browser, and several other apps. The choppiness is like the frame rate is dropping from 60FPS to sub 30 FPS.
Perhaps the issues is a power management bug or some kind of CPU throttling.
Anandtech states the same thing which is disappointing , hopefully it's a software issue rather than hardware.

I too reboot to make sure there's like choppiness on a phone with SD845 LG G7, but in LG G8, surprised that it's the software to blame, not the SoC
In my LG G7, Settings/Battery/power Saving Exclusions/ tick all apps "On" I don't know why LG added this useless feature? LG should damn bootloader unlock all variants, so that a rooted phone with custom kernel with different CPU Governors have an impact on smoothness in the UI ! Even a USA unlocked model unfortunately, no support from LG.
Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering" & OpenGL "Skia" should make the underrated beast smoother/snappier! How sad, LG
Haven't seen a stutter yet
I haven't rebooted in 5 days, and performance had been good. Only thing I have changed is I set my live wallpaper to the fluid Sim one on the play store. Probably not related unless it's something to do with a power saving state like I speculated before and that wallpaper is causing the CPU/gpu to go to a higher power state (probably not though).
Probably just a coincidence.
I haven't experienced any issues with scrolling. No stutters or anything, wonderful performance on this phone since I got it.
Mine was clean and smooth for the first 2 days, then finally developed noticeable lag that required a restart. I wish I could cange my vote.
I wonder if this is Pie, more than LG. When my s8 'upgraded', I had to restart every day to steady the frame rate, despite my tweaking of every power saving setting and animation related dev tool.
I totally aggree, if they can't bother to make it work right, they really ought to let the community do it. While my inexperienced eye was granting power saving exclusions to every app, I noticed a system app called "SuperBatterySaving". Is this new to android? Perhaps the issue?
Oh, and I found no "Skia" opengl setting.

I switched on power exclusions for every app, switched off Adaptive battery, forced gpu rendering. Nothing helps. After 1 or 2 days, the frames drop in most animation, even simple games.
After this happened with my s8 as well, I'm pointing my finger at Pie. My wild guess is that it averages your use and throttles the cpu to that average. I use Bose sleepbuds, which require an app to run all night, but only sipping power. I dunno, I've thought about it every morning since Pie entered.
What do you all think?

I can't believe how often I have to restart this phone to smooth the frame rate. Sometimes twice per day. It's so aggravating to have an expensive flagship act like a budget pos. I will note that it seems to happen more on days that I use hdmi out.
People with other phones have complained about similar issues with the arrival of Pie. How can we complain to Google, or at least see if a fix is in the works?
I've got the unlocked US T-Mobile red version and there is definitely lag/stutter on the UI but it's something I can live with. It seems to have a cold a start then catch up then sends fine afterwards.
My 6T maybe fast but it's definitely not as smooth as other phones out there.
Update: My issue seems to be related to using hdmi out. I haven't used it in a couple weeks, and have had no more stuttering problems at all. Nice and smooth. Now I'm glad I voted high here. It's been a real pleasure.
So, if you're going to use hdmi out, restarting should be part of the routine.
Is anybody else having a similar experience?
I voted a 4. I have seen smoother phones with lesser hardware. I'm rating the plain jane LG G8 with their software, not some launcher, and it has some jittery feel to it.

Only being able to compare it to the 835s of the Pixel 2 and the S8, this phone has been feeling fast for me. I make all the animations .5x so that helps too. Occasional app crashes but hoping that will get worked out with future updates.

Honesty it doesn't feel much, if any slower than a phone with an SD855. I'm sure it could be noticeable in some games, loading times, etc... But everyday usage it feels the same.
I stated before that the merging time when taking pictures would likely be reduced a bit if using an 855, but with them having to customize the 845 for it, I'd prefer a slower merge on a released phone versus a phone that never comes out because they're always trying to get the newest hardware configured for it.
Compared to my xz3 it seems smoother, opening apps faster
Ran 3dmark Sling Shot Extreme for Open GL 3 and Vulcan. Score 4582/4258. Comparison chart on site vs phone app is different. Also i couldn't upload my score, but that could have been because i turned off google app. Apparently i was the first to test this phone with 3dmark
*Edit: I guess you want to know how it works day to day... Overall better than my windows phone, but in general seems appropriately speedy in accomplishing tasks with little or no delay, based on my expectations of how this phone should respond.
