No slow downs in scrolling, buttery smooth!
My Internet can be slow as an American Presidential Election campaign, so sometimes the pictures and ads load erratically. I have noticed how buttery smooth it has been even when they things are popping in while I scroll.
I haven't had a stutter yet, but I haven't done any sort of real testing on it. It just feels so natural.
That said, my Nexus 6 was pretty nice upon release, and it has some pretty bad lag issues these days. Only time will truly tell.
Only stutter I've noticed so far is in the Google Messenger app, when scrolling through the contacts quickly. Lags like crazy. It looks as though it's trying to load the little Alphabet picture next to each contact but can't do it quickly enough, so it lags. Chrome is also a bit on and off, but I'm assuming this is more ****ty development, as opposed to the phone itself.
When I use puffin browser I get a stutter sometimes
Nothing so far.
Chrome is a bit and miss out lags for me, Facebook is slow as well to scroll and open videos.
They need to update these apps to work smoother. Chrome should be doing this
Puffin browser smokes it
Some websites seem to stutter
Definitely still stutters and lag. It's a lot better than before, but it's by no means smooth all the time. All the reviewers that say it's silky smooth 100% of the time are smoking crack, because that's definitely not the case by any means.
BUT it seems to always be responsive and doesn't seem to hesitate much when switching apps etc. Overall it's a much better experience than before.

Hi all,
Before I start, let me state I love my gtab.
Buttttt, when scrolling the desktop or webpages it is no match for the silky smooth interface
as the ipad. I thought the gtab had higher hardware specs?
Different software. Its also dependent on the website. Flash enabled sites are choppier usually. Xda isn't as smooth as engadget for me either.
Not 100% sure but the gui in ios is accelerated by the gpu Android has yet to enable this might be in Honeycomb.
Also I find if you have flash set to on, as opposed to on demand its much choppier as well. On demand seems to be much smoother.

Try the VEGAn-Tab ROM with LauncherPro, and then reconsider those words.
Launcher pro and fennec web browser seem to be the smoothest for me. It really is just the software. Hopefully honeycomb fixes it.
What they said. This is really just a few issues with some of the stock software.
iOS browser feels "smooth" because it doesn't re-render mid-scroll. But I find it very annoying that it's so slow when scrolling on complex pages relative to my G Tab. Once you're used to the G Tab it's hard to go back to iOS, in my opinion.
xScope browser in full screen mode is far smoother and better than the iOS browser. No waiting for re-rendering mid-scroll, and it just feels great.
And regarding scrolling in Launcher, like the others said, LauncherPro is smooth as a baby's bottom.
So I have my nexus 5, and it is a great phone, web browsing and the operating system in general is very fast and smooth.
However I'm still getting what feels like dropped frames in apps with listviews like Facebook. Before I get "the fb app is just badly coded and unoptimised", I even get (although much less noticeable) lags while scrolling YouTube search results and the odd flicker in Google plus, which are stock apps.
Has anybody else noticed this? How can such a powerful CPU and GPU and newest version of android not be able to scroll smoothly?
Switch to the art VM in the developers settings. That improves scrolling performance quite a bit.
I did try using the art environment but it didn't seem to make much (if any) difference. I may try it again though

Breaks TiBu for me, but scrolling works nice and smooth over here.
Just switched back to art, it might have marginally improved scrolling actually. Still not perfect though and can notice dropped frames in Facebook and Google plus
I just switched back to dalvik from art and yeah, its not a huge difference in performance.
Both are pretty speedy.
With art, I think there's less stutter.

Yeah, and as art is still in development I guess we can't expect too much too soon, hopefully they'll be able to improve it with time though!
So I have been playing around with my new 4.7 and immediately noticed that, in comparison to my Samsung S3, slow scrolling with the
thumb on the display causes jerky movement, like a couple of pixels at the time. This looks horrible in comparison to the S3 where every
motion seems perfectly fluid. Has anyone else noticed this and why isn't it implemented the right way? Seems to be an easy fix.
Does the 5.5 suffer from this issue as well?
Note: It's not lag. It's like there aren't enough frames for it to look smooth. This happens during scrolling in webpages and settings etc.
It seems they totally turned off this little project from back in the day:
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/G/google_project_butter.html
"Google Project Butter accomplished its “buttery smooth” responsiveness and “speed infusion” improvements via three main additions: triple buffering, which improves coordination and animation synchronization between the CPU, GPU and display; VSync, which improves graphical performance and increases frame rates to 60fps (frames per second); and touch responsiveness, which predicts a user’s upcoming actions of the screen in order to improve load times for those actions.:
No one willing to test?
Okay :good:
Mine does the same (4.7). But is not something that bother me. It is a cheap device after all.

Thanks for your input. Whether or not the device is relatively 'cheap' shouldn't really matter, as it's a matter of frame rate and could
be easily tweaked through a software change.
Any input from 5.5 owners?

Butter. Just butter. Maybe melted butter.
Very smooth scrolling.
Extremely smooth especially compared to the old Note 4 I used
It took three years but now Project Butter is here. This thing is smooth. Usually with AMOLED screens there's some ghosting and trailing of text when scrolling on a black background. It looks pretty choppy and I find this super annoying about the Note 4. The 6P doesn't have this problem. Scrolling looks buttery smooth even on an AMOLED black background.
I'll never leave Nexus with its, now, flagship competing camera.

Smoothest phone I've used to date.
just one word: Excellent
Never had a phone as smooth as this
I compared it side by side to a Samsung Galaxy 6 and the 6P was noticeably slower to me than the Galaxy 6.
This phone is by far the smoothest and best device I've ever used. However, I do have issues with scrolling but it's only in apps that use the Android System WebView as the browser. Apps for me like Facebook and RedditIsFun that use this to open up external links like to jump around a lot with scrolling. If I use chrome it's completely smooth.
P.S. if you want a good chuckle, go check out the reviews of Android System WebView.

So I just uninstalled the updates for this app and everything is completely smooth. Weird.
Way smoother than I am at kissing girls, hence the article reading
Smoothest scrolling I've seen on an Android phone so far
Very smooth scrolling! Definitely outclasses the Zenfone 2 which I had attributed to having some of the smoothest scrolling I'd seen on an Android device beforehand.
superrr butery smoooth!
Awesome, the smooth is beyond godness
This telephone is really really smooth. The best on in my opinion, about that.
Butterlicious
Just a little smoother than my Nexus 4 that it replaced... Awesome... I am amazed that my Z3 compact behaves as if it has terrets in comparison to both (which is 2 years newer than my nexus 4).
It's okay.
Smoothest device I've used so far, only catch is when entering developer settings - can take a second or two to respond. Other than that, everything is awesome.
Hmm glad to see such good feedback on the scrolling smoothness. I bought a note 5 and was very disappointed. So glad to see positive reviews.

Well I guess I'll be the first to reply. I am not experiencing buttery scrolling! The Facebook app which is built into the UI stutters and hiccups constantly. Scrolling through web pages on Chrome is not buttery smooth in the slightest. Did I get a bad unit or is there anything that I can do to assist in smoothing my scrolling? I'm coming from an iPhone 7 plus and never had issues like this!
Haven't used the Facebook app but I find chrome to be smooth. Try going to chrome://flags and enabling smooth scrolling to see if that helps.
In my experience, chrome always ran like garbage on Samsung phones. This is the first time I can say that's no longer the case! (My last one was s7).
have not found any problems yet on scrolling its buttery smooth

I would say the same, it's fast and fluid and scrolling is smooth for me without any jitter, hope this remains :good:
Samsung is known to jitter and lag. It can never be as smooth as a pixel
I used the SM-G-965F model for about a month and then switched to the SM G-9650 model available locally. No issues with smoothness with either of them but G-9650 is little faster at everything.

It's now smooth due to the latest update.
Very smooth and quick

...is that an experience feedback from someone who runs the S9+ or just a prejudice? Naming the brand Samsung only means throwing a J3, A5, S9, S9+ in the same pot and compare these to a Pixel? What a confusing world this is
Let's continue with a fact: I do own a S9+ for 3 months now. I packed it full with apps and didn't experience lags yet. Hope it stays this way, it's really a high performance phone to me. But what do I know...? :good:
