[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] $-MONARCH-$:
Reasons are there, For Example, Asus is taking an approach to cut down bloatware in order to make device faster and better experience. Doors aren't hard to close once it's opened to mass-bloatware, It entirely depends on Manufacturer how tough are they gonna to weigh-in their option to keep away bloatware.

I bought the unlocked version from Samsung. Feels very responsive. Definitely faster than my T-Mobile S8 with bloatware disabled .

Unlocked here and phone is quick for sure. Nova with Samsung like look also adds to the quickness
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
I have to say that I'm quite surprised by the note 8. Almost 2 weeks and I have yet to notice any lag. I've come to accept touchwiz being a bit laggy given all that samsung has to offer but this phone is so smooth!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] JhinCuatro:
lg v20 old. what about lg v30
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
I have had a couple of LG phones throughout the years and their phones are ok but they never really like impress me 100%. Like the LG V20 was Ok just not as impressive as the Note. Yes it had better speakers and it had 3.0 QC but that's it. The build quality and overall all phone is not as good as the Note. I don't see the V30 doing much better. The Note just feels so premium compared to the V20.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] intruda119:
Phone is so laggy compared to my Mate 9.

Waiting to sell for Mate 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Torquemada288:
I haven't noticed any lag whatsoever on the Note 8, so I find this comment really strange. Any idea what might be causing it to lag? I hear the Bixby remapper can cause the phone to lag like a *****. Have you remapped the Bixby button?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] intruda119:
Best way to say it, micro stutters. Coming from a phone not trying to do 500 things at once, I can feel and see the difference.

Getting rid of Bixby would probably do wonders. Using tmobile version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
I'm very happy with my Note8 Exynos speed, it gets through everything fast and buttery smooth, can't complain :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] guthrien:
I have zero speed complaints. Actually, noticed that the ram seems to keep my programs and tabs in memory much longer than my other Android devices. I had wondered if it would. I sometimes seem to have network issues, but I'm running an adblock VPN and that's likely to blame.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] marvi0:
Well for me so far so good. It's an absolute pleasure to use and it's as smooth as ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] owlovers:
I am just a normal user. I think it is fast enough to use comparing the Sony I used before:p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Poetique:
Wanted to get some time with it under my belt before responding to this but ah... this thing flies. I havn't even gotten very many of the usual micro-stutters I get from touchwiz as of yet, and havn't even flirted much with using a different launcher yet as a result.

And for me, this phone sees alot of different usage scenarios. It's my for-play phone, it's my business phone, and given the size and speed I've even started doing a bit more of the style of browsing I used to reserve for my quite-powerful gaming PC on the device as well. So far, no issues. It glides smoothly through everything I've thrown at it.

For me, I feel like the past 3-5 years have brought about devices that finally "keep up with me" as a lifetime power user, and the Note 8 does not disappoint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] WastedJoker:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] nds850:
The numbers don't say much. I have a OnePlus 5 too and it definitely feels faster even though it scores lower than my Exynos Note8 in most tests.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] meboy:
Played with one yesterday.

Quite noticeably faster than my S6 but that's not saying much.

The Huawei's are super fast. Very noticable. Probably the biggest "wow. This phone is fast" moment I've had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
Yep, I have a Mate10 Pro on review next to my Note8, and I can confirm the Huawei is ludicrously fast, like somethings are incredibly instant.

The Note8 is fast but more gradual in its animation speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] nullcx:
I am happy with the speed of my Note 8. I want to say that I've had the worst experience with Huawei android smartphone. I think I din't wrong when I went to the Samsung, again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] meboy:
Test GPS accuracy and speaker.

Those make up the three things I notice Huawei to be better at than Samsung.

Would be interested in your comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
Will test GPS.

In terms of Signal Strength (4G LTE) the Huawei obliterates most phones I have ever used, I have never seen a device maintain 4G signal so well.

Speaker, yep, the Huawei is better, sound is fuller and clearer due to Stereo Speakers, however the Note8 is far ahead in terms of Headphones sound quality, it just sounds cleaner than the Huawei.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
It's a typical Samsung phone. In other words, not the best. You'll see some frame drops and stuttering on certain apps. Compared to a Pixel phone, it's very choppy. Compared to other phones, especially Samsung, it's maybe a little better than usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Torquemada288:
I'm on my second day of use and I've found the fluidity of the interface to be smooth and without any lag. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Deleted member 2496007:
Ironically the only jumpy, stuttery scrolling I've encountered on this phone is with the official XDA app! Uninstalled and use Samsung browser and dark theme. Slicker than a buttered Otter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Alex---1:
I get a small stutter jumping from home screen into the app menus, had it from the minute it was unboxed. Annoying really!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jedras95:
My S8 had pretty choppy scrolling, especially when scrolling slowly (keeping finger on the screen). However, my Note 8 is buttery smooth in every app so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] btmusicman313:
Mine seems very choppy when scrolling YouTube comments
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Torquemada288:
That's not your phone, that's your IQ slowly dropping. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] btmusicman313:
Hahahahahaha Ladies and gentlemen give it up for the comedian!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
I will say this: on performance mode, this is significantly minimized. I'm actually impressed!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] douger1957:
I've set all animations at .5 and haven't seen any stutter or lag at all. I really don't remember any before I changed the settings. It's just an automatic thing I do with Samsung phones. I am also on high performance mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
My animations are on 0.5 as well, and in performance mode it is almost flawless. That's the key I've realized. Non-performance mode was noticeably worse for me (which is why all the store models looked choppy to me - they were incapable of going into performance mode).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Deleted member 7436581:
Besides slightly raising brightness and setting the resolution all the way up what else does performance mode do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
Avoids throttling the CPU I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
Animations set at 0.5.

Smooth scrolls in browsers and tumblr twitter
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jeezy85:
i have set the animations to 0.5 but Twitter still lags badly.. bit fustrating tbh compared to the iphone twitter app.. i don't understand whys look and perform so much better on iphones
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] mcdanielvzw:
I haven't noticed any lag scrolling since I got it. I just turned Animations off today, I didn't realize you could do that in the Dev options now. TBH I don't like animations just to have animations, I turn them off all my PCs too. If I run into any issues with them off, I"ll try .5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] yiyi28:
For those who feel choppy, I kindly ask you to disable any services in the accessibility and try again. I have not experienced any stutter except for occasion stutter when I scroll in 'running service' in 'developer option'.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] masri1987:
Is exynos throttled more than Snapdragon versions? I've used both now and notice slight lags in exynos (balanced mode)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] NoxArt:
Running processes are fine, but Chrome (e.g. this page), Twitter etc. are quite choppy. I'm running high performance mode, think it helped a little but not enough. Hope it's something they'll be able to fix with an update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] NoxArt:
Btw what about Allow app while Data saver on, that's quite a lagfest
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] michaelearth:
All the talk about the choppiness and stutters have me nervous as I'm coming from a Pixel XL. Just waiting for my Note 8 to ship
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] tufftatino:
To be honest, I jumped from a Nexus 6P and a S8+ (Exynos), I also have a OnePlus 5 at home for my wife, and the Note 8 is ok. Not the smoothest but it's not choppy compared to S8+ or 6P. It's actually pretty good when you know about Samsung's past phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Aitaz:
Random Reboot

I don't know if that's related to youtube or not. But by note 8 rebooted while playing video. The second time was a 1440p hdr video, first time i cant remeber (10days ago). Screen resolution WQHD+.

Do you think that the app has any relation with this rebooting? In both occasions I had the phone landscape mode and i was turning it to portrait, the screen then went black and the Samsung Logo came out.

Has anybody else had this or similar issues?

Thanks

Edit: sorry wrong thread. i found the right thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/lag-playing-hdr-videos-youtube-t3673986/post74201777.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] michaelearth:
Is there any way to improve performance on the Note 8? Being how big of a company Samsung is and how well their phones sell, you'd think they could put out a well running device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] mcdanielvzw:
FYI! If you turn Animator Duration Scale completely off, you'll have problems removing apps from your home screen - the menu won't pop up. This setting must be .5 or higher. Also, when I had it set to off my phone developed issues with the screen turning back on automatically when I turned it off with the power button; this has seemed to go away with the .5 setting as well.

You can turn off "Window Animation Scale" and "Transition Animation Scale" without problems though (so far).

I came from a pixel xl and the note 8 has the occasional stutter it still a very smooth phone, my last samsung phone was the s5(swore i would never get another samsung phone) so i know what the dreaded samsung lag is all about, then i went htc m8, nexus 6, nexus 6p, pixel xl, did want the pixel 2 xl but the screen put me off, so took a chance on the note 8 and I do not regret it. I do think samsung a learning i have the exynos version

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] demo23019:
FYI people mentioning gaming mode performance mode...ect they do nothing for performance your CPU and GPU dont change and it's always on interactive and clocks same you can use a software like cpu-z to see if it's actually doing anything to the hardware which it's not. All they do is exactly what they say increase res and brightness nothing more than gmimmick. On that note my phone is smooth no matter what. If you have stutter or not smooth prob due to some unoptised software running in background utilizing CPU.

For smoothest performance I use nova launcher prime instead of TW... More customization freedom and much smoother for me. Just set nova transition speeds to 'nova' and then set all three animation speeds in developer options to 0.5x instead of 1.0x.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] OnnoJ:
I don't think a launcher will influence scrolling or general performance of Apps, only flipping through home screens...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
I never claimed it would :). That's really the only part that ever stutters or lags for me on this phone, so that's all I mentioned. But technically it's more than switching between home screens (widgets, dock, app drawer, app folders, etc). Still, I agree Samsung could work on that further.

What was the ambient temperature of your environment of the time of use? Just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] guthrien:
I've only had the phone get really warm to touch once, when using podcast, phone and navigation in the car. Around 68 degrees ambient. Nothing too unusual. This battery is much smaller and better tested. Though even my Note 7 never got dangerously hot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
I have been using my Note 8 heavy for 3 days now. With the brightness turned up to about 80% and my phone has not even gotten warm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] imatts:
I drive a lot, in the direct sun and while using GPS and streaming music to the car. Every phone I've ever had has shut down on me at least once, with the iPhone shutting down as well.

Internal temps are usually 60-70°c at that point, so I honestly don't think the Note 8 will be any different.

I'm genuinely excited to see how it fairs, with the larger screen and dual glass body.

I don't have the opportunity to post some examples yet, but the low light on this is really, really impressive. I was taking some shots of my dog outside with just some weak yard lighting in the backyard and the difference between it and my other phones was striking. It kicked the crap out of my iPhone 7+ at this which has been my gold standard for phone cameras, personally.
