Scrolling on my S21, in general, is very smooth with Motion Smoothness set to the default Adaptive setting. However, my particular phone will intermittently stop and reverse direction. Sometimes its frequent and other times its rare. Wife's S21 appears to have the same issue but not to the extent I'm seeing on mine. I've not yet found anybody else noting this issue.

I've also noticed the choppy/laggy scrolling when reading websites.
I tried closing all background apps but the issue still happens

What browser do you use?

I noticed the choppy scroling in chrome, i tested the same website in Opera and it was smooth.
Could it be a issue with chrome and the adaptive refresh rate of the display?

I notice random jittering while scrolling in everything, could be Facebook, Instagram, google discovery, even inside the one UI launcher when viewing the app pages. there is random stutters there, not everyone will notice it but there is stutters. I think it is something related to android in general and in fact the adaptive thing made it worse. My previous S20 had stutters too but it is more noticeable in the S21.

My scrolling is generally smooth.

Overall it feels good, just rarely I get these little stutters. Can't recall in what app atm.
System-wise it's perfect, I'd say 4/5 atm, will try to see when exactly and in what apps I get this stutter.
I am coming from Oneplus5 and it's not as smooth, menu opening and closing is bit slow, scrolling through web pages is not smooth and occasional lag occurred, Huawei launcher is a joke, hardly any people will prefer to use, I have to use developer option and set animation to 0.5x from 1.x to get fast menu speed. also, 960 frame per second video is a joke and its limited to few seconds, it seems like to complete with Sony and Samsung the feature been added without proper implementation, front camera has strange waved going across when trying to take the shot TV and monitor etc.
I've had my P20 for 5 days and find WEB scrolling to be pretty good, however screen swipe transitions can feel a little jerky compared to the
iPhone 6S (the phone I had before this). But all in all the P20 is good, fast and I have had no problems.

I'm using AdGuard to stop most of the back ground advertising to load.
Cures the stutters in web page loading and scrolling.

Yeh, seen that before on other phones. Something to do with frequency/refresh of TV screens.
I got my P20 Pro 4 days ago, and to me it's been a frustrating experience due to scrolling lag. The overall experience when I scroll in the Facebook app, Instagram or webpages using Chrome is really laggy and disappointing. I came from a OnePlus 5T without and lag problems at all. So hoping for a quick fix or I move to another phone.
Updated huawei P20
I can confirm there are occasional stutter while navigating through apps and webpages (AdGuard is installed).
I have not experienced any of these stutters. Scrolling is smooth AF.
I have some problems in Tapatalk and Google photos, there is scrolling not smooth. Haven't noticed it somewhere else, I use Samsung browser and browsing scrolling is fine. Same in settings and between screens it works flawless

sometimes night mode / blue light blocking mode can cause this.

Scrolling is horrible on pages/in apps when a lot of ads, videos and images are loaded.
Been using this for a month now and this thing has never stuttered.
Nice and smooth
It really depends on the app. Some are smooth and slow, others not very smooth and slow, and others again are fast and smooth. Like Samsung's internet browser is blazing fast and smooth,

You should try Kiwi browser. Hides 99% of ads.
Works really well for me,
terrible issues with flickering screen, screen freezing and getting stuck with multiple app use... I have had to change the device twice, this is my 3rd P30 pro in under 1 Month, i'm very concerned and would like to change the model if this 3rd one doesnt work properly!

Coming from an iphone user, the scrolling feels choppy and stuttered.. Always had this feeling with Android phones. This is my work phone.. Any idea how we can tweak how scrolling works system wide?

You can try turning off animations that might make it feel choppy but won’t do much

Actually, I was expecting better scrolling performance
Did you tries to enable the 120Hz refresh rate?
I have currently the 60Hz/echo mode and in most of website I do have almost smooth scrolling.
Some pages like Google Discovery or some internet sites stutter even after fully loading the page. I used both 120 and 60hz.
I am using this device(Indian Version called Mi 10i) since last 2 days.
In 60Hz it works as expected, the scrolling is smooth as expected from a device with such specifications.
On setting it to 120Hz, I didn't find any such dynamic difference, I feel scrolling smoothness and flow to be almost as same as when it was in 60Hz.
Need to spend some more time in 120Hz and may be I will notice something.
Will post here, If I find something new.
