Overall speed

Would you say that the OnePlus 5 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the OnePlus 5 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

My old phone which I had to replace as it got smashed had a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 and I though that was fast until I got a OnePlus+ 5 which is in another league.

Well, i am impressed by the overall speed and snapiness (coming from an exynos galaxy s7).
This thing can handle much without overheating! (A nightmare for galaxy s users)

I simply love my experience so far with my OP5.. It is fluid, fast especially considering Android, bright screen, lightning fingerprint.. Coming from s7 edge only 2 months old which was so laggy after installing all the apps.. Hope Android O and other releases allows us to stay smooth and save battery, I may not change my phone for a year (can't say for longer [emoji16])

for me the backups in twrp and titanium are noticeably faster as is a normal boot. i have yet to get rid of encryption but i think that will add further performance increase.

Looks like i am the only one from "humble" beginnings here. ??. I had a A5 2015 , i thought it was good and not that slow , i was gonna buy s8+ but then i saw op5 and omg its soooo much faster than a5 i am glad i bought oneplus .

I had a Nexus 6 before with overlocked CPU custom Kernel and lineage os on the board, oneplus 5 everything stock, no root, is insanely faster and the battery is much better, i lovee this phone

Awesome

sounds nice

Nice ! i also like it

Thanks for sharing !

Blazing fast
Compared to all the flagships I have ever had my hands on, the OnePlus 5 is the best of all, HTC U11 is very simillar in terms of overall performance.

Hehe nice quote there 'Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?'.
Any way, I have the OP2 and some of my colleagues and friends have OP5.
When i used it for the first time, it was like you drive a brand new car..
The fingerprint is much fast and recognizes allmost 99 percent of the time.
After checking benchmarks on it, i was totally in love so i diceded to buy him ASAP.
Actually at this moment i'm waiting because there are rumours of a new version with extended battery etc..

8gb RAM version is quick. Really quick.

I'd love to try using one plus 5 which is said to have great speed. However, I am still confused to use it, while I still have galaxy s8 phones, which memilliki OS and spare parts are no less far away with others.
Thank you,
polarin.co.id

I m using 6gb version and till date I haven't faced any hiccup of performance lagness etc nothing

Just a Wow phone
This is the phone I would buy again n again irrespective of its successor Oneplus 5T.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Samsung Galaxy S9+, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.

I am liking how snappy and smooth is S9+ is.

I loved the S8+, especially coming from a Note 4. I have the option to upgrade every 12 months and did so for the new camera and relocated fingerprint reader. Still love the S9+ but the 'wow' factor wasn't the same obviously.

Liking it so far besides the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly on either of the 2 I purchased. Hopefully Samsung will get the bugs worked out soon.

currently liking it but almost identical to my previous s8 minus the new little feature gimmicks i got the purple one even I am a man because I want to be unique.

This is my first Samsung, and I have to say is the best phone I have ever had in my entire life.
For reference, my previous phones were a Mate 9 Pro, a Pixel 2 XL and the U11+.

Possibly one of the best android phones i've ever used design wise. Samsung software is nice but i never like getting pre-installed garbage i can't get rid off. Will however root soon...

This is just the perfect phone for me.
It comes with quite some beautiful design (Coral Blue)
Great screen, great camera for low light and slow mo, great performance (Exynos 9810) and 6GB RAM, great speakers, great biometric options, and the list goes on and on.
On the other hand, battery life is not as good as my previous phone (Galaxy A8 SM-A8000), and I hoped it is lighter and thinner like that phone.
Overall, this is just a special treat for me and I love it by my hearts.
P.S. I am glad I went for the Coral Blue S9+ UK 128GB Exynos variant, and it performs very, very well without breaking a sweat thermal wise (Snapdragon is known to heat up a lot more usually).
Also, since all the Snapdragon Samsung phones I had in the past had their motherboard toast after 2 years of usage or so, all my working Samsung phones are the more reliable Exynos (That A8 broke too with a broken display and unreliable battery, but mobo not toast yet) and I want to keep that trend of Exynos everything on my phones.

Waiting for mine in the mail right now. I'm currently using the note 4. Can't friggen wait, tired of the note 4 sluggishness

Also, I forgot to mention that I ordered my S9+ from clove on Feb 28th. The phones shipped March 6th, but clove did not get the coral Blue variant, so they ended up shipping my package on Mar 16th, only to get delayed by FedEx due to severe weather conditions as well as the exploding parcel in USA, with me finally getting my hands on it on March 22nd, and that is with me heading to the FedEx location and pickup myself. So yeah, due to this series of delays, I was getting too anticipated to get that parcel that I literally couldn't do anything properly for the past 2 weeks.
Anyways, I hope fellow ppl who still haven't received their packages to have better luck than what I have had.

This is the best device I could have got.

Guys do let me know how is the PUBG experience on you Exynos Samsung S9 plus.I am having a very hard time with the device, game has micro shutter and lag over a period of time.
the device doesn't overheat temperature will around 38-40* I am running it on HD+ resolution with balance settings and high frame rates.
Very dissatisfied with Samsung on this part.

Well that's the Mali gpu drivers for you. Btw I am running android 9.0 pie beta (soilders rom on the s9+ section) The exynos 9810 mail GPU drivers has improved a bit. Getting slightly better performance and less throttling with the 9810 with 9.0 pie. So I guess wait a bit.

pros: best camera, look and feel (have the blue one without case), good performance, black themes
cons: battery could be better but is ok, major updates could be faster but can also live with that
fazit, best phone I've ever had

This is totally not my experience. I use the Exynos GS9+ and I have none of the issues you just mentioned while playing PUBG. Yes the phone does overheat but that is normal for any device which is pushing it's limits. Coming to the performance I play on ultra high settings with anti aliasing turned on and I have never as much as felt a stutter. The battery does drain considerably, around 10-12% per game but I think it's okay since PUBG itself is very demanding. For reference my device is set on QHD+ resolution.
I would suggest you to check if some unwanted app is running in the background and actually hogging up resources as that has happened to me plenty of times on my previous phones. I'm more careful of what I install now.

Really like the One UI and the performace it provides since I came from the S7

I've become very unhappy with my Galaxy S9+. Foremost is the fact that I can't root it. (I have one of those US models that you can't root.) It's my phone. I bought it; I own it; it's mine. I should be able to do anything I want with it. I tried to write a script to backup my SD card to a USB stick, but I don't have permissions to run it. Being a professional programmer, that really irks me.
Then there's all the bloatware. I disabled over 200 packages of stuff I don't want and don't need. Sorry, but I'm not going to be part of the Samsung culture - not a fan.
Samsung is acting just like Apple. "This is the way we want to you use your phone, and you don't have a choice." Well, I do have a choice - to dump Samsung. The OnePlus 7 is coming out next week, and I'm 'deep six'ing Samsung.

Just realized the OnePlus slogan is "Never Settle". My sentiment exactly. I'm not going to settle for Samsung's hubris and disdain.

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S9+ performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

i got lags every now and then but i think its because i use touchwiz? i dont like installing custom home launchers so i dont know if its the same case with others

My s9+ run a great, but I choose to install lean launcher and it works great with that too.

Samsung will lag with 10GB of RAM. SAMSUNG don't know how to fully optimize their devices. So don't expect too much

Sounds like an anti-samsung-fanboy. As someone who has avoided buying samsung for the longest time because I hated their android overlay (I've historically gone for moto/nexus devices and installed custom roms), this is one of the best phones I've ever used.
I got the LG V30 a few months ago but traded it in last week for the s9+ (SD variant on T-mo). For only costing $40 more, this thing puts the v30 to shame. Only thing I miss from the v30 is the quad dac and the wide angle lens
with the s9+, I'm amazed at how long I can wait to come back to an app and still have it exactly where I left it, without it getting garbage collected and having to relaunch. I am COMPLETELY surprised because I always heard and would have expected samsung's memory management to be hot trash, but it has totally blown me away so far.

Using S9+, No lag so far

I can only rate this phone with Nova Launcher, but with that, there is no lag. I have run over 20 different apps, all while having the deep town game in the background, and it's right where I left it!
No, in fact, it's beyond where I left it and still running. This is hours later. Opens right up! Everything seems to keep running, I didn't even expect so many at once.

6GB is *great*
However, I'm beyond disgusted that when every app is shut down and cleared out of memory, it is still using 3.3GB of RAM just for the O/S and other apps we can't get rid of.
I don't understand how other "new" phones with 3-4 GB of ram are even functional with the latest O/S versions sucking up so much RAM.

You should change to S9+ to see how fast it is, I got S8+ which use SD835 just like Note 8, and my S8+ running on Android 8.0. When upgrade to S9+, have to said, SD845 is faster than Sd835 like at least 2 times, no lag at all so far for heavily use during the day.

I have no issues regarding lag....I actually sometimes think the phone with certain apps are too quick... I used a S7 edge before the S9+ and for me the speed difference is major with the apps I use.

Im mostly curious to know how the S9+ handles background apps. I play SWGOH and on my S8+ i have to constantly reload the game when I switch to send texts, check slack, another random app or two. It's super annoying but I otherwise love this phone (S8+)
Held off on the S9+ but I've been hearing that it does better with background app management.
Can anyone here confirm that it doesn't close games running in the background as often?
I was considering the Pixel 2XL but it's just as bad as the S8+ if not worse at background app managements.

In the first 2-3 day of use is ok but after that the RAM is remains taken even if you press Optimize. At almost 4 days a restart is needed to free the ram. Very bad optimization if you ask me. My J5 2017 restore the same amount of RAM after a Optimization even if you are not restarting the device and even after a week without restarting.

That's interesting. The only app that doesn't stay in ram for me is CoC. Server based games always force refresh. I can open other apps 4 days later and they are where I left off. Unless I have to sign back in, like Wells Fargo. No issues at all with ram management

I am using G-965F and G-9650 models both. Multitasking is good on both but with 6 GB RAM and top notch chipsets, it could have been better.The OS needs refinement.

Galaxy S9 CPU Performance

So i ran GeekBench 4 between a Note 8, S9+ (Both on 8.0) and my iPhone X and the iPhone X beat both by far! Here is the video of the test for those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REOzK_8C-qU
I know this does't affect overall UI speed as iOS and Android are optimized differently but i defiantly think any kind of CPU intensive app would benefit on the iPhone X. Opinions?

https://youtu.be/B65ND8vUaKc

Honestly, I think the difference is negligible at best, with the SD S9+ even appearing snappier than the "stronger" Exynos S9+ in a youtube video comparison.
However, if you are genuinely worried about it, get the Exynos S9+, which as I've witnessed myself scores roughly within 10% of the Iphone X in geekbench 4.

Scores shmores dude. Benchmark scores are so 2007. Look at the comparisons on you tube. The iPhone 10 loads games faster by fractions up to 3 seconds in some cases. Everything else the S9 plus does better. Benchmark scores can be tweaked and are never an accurate reflection of real life performance.

Yawn. All I care about is whether the phone feels fast enough in daily use. If I feel like I'm constantly waiting, I'm going to get annoyed. But if an app loads half a second quicker on an iPhone, or a page redraws 30 ms faster on a Pixel 2, I really, truly, couldn't care less.

Refresh rate on oppo find x2 pro

I am deciding this phone between s20ultra. I have noticed a problem on oppo find x2 pro which is the refresh rate on this phone ain't running on 120hz constantly. Which app can run 120hz constantly? I uses youtube instagram chrome facebook reddit etc
Do they support 120hz refresh rate? I have tried the display unit, youtube seems laggy while scrolling even comparing with 60hz display. Have it been fixed? Thank you.

I have tried the display models, which the display may not have been update the system. I am going to try it again later. Furthermore , do you feel like the speakers' vocals are a bit muffled and not as loud as the competitors?

I can only comment / compare against my previous S20+ but for me the speakers are much better in this phone and provide more clarity. Samsung's I found were quite tinny maybe not as loud either, the oppos were also more balanced.

This phone is hands down 100 times better then the "Can't Focus On a Galaxy S20 Ultra". Even without Qi charging, which would have made this the phone of year IMO, it runs circles around the Ultra. Here's why:
1. Auto focus is super fast and accurate. Way better camera setup than S20 Ultra. 108MP? Really? You can't focus using it and the 100x zoom is a joke. The pictures and video out of this phone are legit.
2. Super VOOC charging. You won't miss Qi wireless charging. Super charging or any other charging. All you need know is 100% in 15 minutes. You can see it go up a percentage basically every 10 seconds or so. Plugging in never felt so good.
3. Dual SIM that works and is best in class in compatiablity to essentially ever band used globally. I mean this thing even works on Verizon in the US. Get the Thailand or Malaysia version CPH2025 with dual SIM, 512 GB and 12GB RAM. Still cheaper than the Ultra.
4. 120 GHz refresh and QHD at the same time. Like others said, it works and is easy to setup.
5. It's not a Samsung. Enough said.

Agree with most of that except the zoom at 10x is no where near as good as the ultra. Also after updates there's no issues with autofocus at all now literally none. Just as fast as my note 10, and with my snapdragon s20 ultra I get literally double the battery life of the Oppo. I'd be getting 8hrs SOT in 120hz. With 1080p and 120 im like to get just over 5hrs which is pretty average.

S20 ultra speakers are definitely louder having both in front of me but the oppos are wider and clearer.

Yes and the phone isn't a brick in your pocket and you can literally top it off in like 10 mins or less at any point. Whether I finish the day with 15% or 30% makes no difference in my use. Neither phone is a 2 day phone. I can get all day performance @ QHD & 120HZ with my oppo. I've never had a problem even on a heavy use day with it. The fact that I can add 10% in literally minutes is great. I've never liked how Samsung phones take pictures. I've had plenty and tried to like them but really can't ever settle. I'd take an iPhone over a Samsung. That my own hang up I guess. I like my phone now. Doesn't mean I won't try something later. Vivo X50 Pro + looks promising especially if it comes out for the global market. Maybe I'll look at the Note 20 Ultra. It has some promise based on leaks. But really, it will probably just be more Samsung heartache

How about the immersive experience? I have heard that s20ultra got an update on dolby atmos, do you feel like it has improved? Before switching on the dolby atmos, s20ultra definitely sounds horrible for me. But after switching on, oppo's is a no match as s20 ultra gives a better immersive experience for me but with less bass. But as I have mentioned I have only tried both in the stores which is kind of a noisy environment with both phones not on the most update firmware. Have things improved on oppo find x2pro and s20ultra after several updates?

I have tried the display model. Youtube app can't use 120hz but the web version of youtube through chrome can. The speaker of oppo is better as it doesn't sounds annoying in the highs in the cinema mode of dolby atmos.

UK version , global.
It sounds to me you have your sights on the ultra.
For me in UK I tried the plus as mentioned but the exynos chip was useless I had it throttling within 7 minutes of YouTube dropping to 30fps which was a hard pull to swallow.
This and the green tint ... Then finding out refresh rate was he restricted made me return it. If it was a Snapdragon I might have kept it but honestly for me the oppo screen is better , sound is also better , software also and design.
I think the battery probably lasted longer on the S20 but the oppo has warp charge so not to bothered at the moment.
Camera I couldn't comment both seem good.

Actually after my hands on today, I am leaning towards oppo's more, it is just a hurdle for me to jump over to buy oppo instead of samsung. In my region it is sd chip which also makes me undecisive. I am also worried about the software update frequency of oppo after the first half of the year.

I jumped from a Note 10+ to the Find X2 Pro, don't regret it at all, ColorOS is less feature packed but almost feels minimalistic to me which is perfect because the whole phone experience just feels like lightning, not the tiniest hiccup

Also for those worried about updates the Find X2 Pro is officially on the Android Enterprise Recommended list which guarantees 90 day security patches for 3 years & at least major OS update
