So I have read and watched a lot about the i3 5.5, probably too much. In short it's a great in almost all aspects, save from
the performance, rendering it laggy/slow/choppy at times. Is it really that bad, or is it exaggerated, or perhaps downplayed?
I'm interested in intel of day-to-day use and how the i3 5.5 handles the OS, browsing, video and gaming.
Hopefully it's more a software issue than a hardware issue, which would make sense. Hopefully the 5.1 update will be out
soon. Are the European i3 5.5's also getting the last updates, or is it only the U.S?
Hopefully these relatively small issues will be a thing of the past soon. I am planning on leaving my Z Ultra (qualcomm 800,
adreno 330) for this device and that says a lot I think of how much faith I have in it
:good:
I have definitely experience lags here and there during day to day usage but haven't really found them annoying to the point where it is impossible to use the device.
Sure, the phone could have been fitted with a slightly more powerful GPU but overall the pros outweigh the cons. Only thing left is how commited Alcatel is with regards to software updates.
Power Users should definitely stay way. However, I have no qualms recommending this phone to anyone who is looking for big screen multimedia mobile device on a budget.
Thanks for your answer. A guy at Youtube said that after a couple of updates he received from Alcatel the phone performs much better, thus implying it is not a hardware issue, but a software one. He reported a perfectly lag free i3, with maybe once in a while a minor hiccup. Did you get any of those updates yet and if so, what is the difference in performance lag wise?
We have had only one update , that has resulted in a minor improvement in the UI response. Remember, the phone is still on 5.0.2 and that is responsible for the lag to a large extent. Plus - at the end of the day, its a 1.5 Ghz quad core with 2 GB RAM - The performance will be limited to whatever that means. If you are a power user , need a phone for an year or so, and are spending $250 for the Idol3 - you might want to see if you can score a OnePlus One 16GB for the same price. From a sheer performance perspective, it will come out ahead owing to a faster processor and more RAM . There are other drawbacks , that you should consider of course.
Thanks for your insight. The thing is that the i3 runs almost an all Vanilla Android, whereas other heavier skinned phones with the same cpu run perfectly fine, no hiccups either. Mind you, 33000 in Antutu is quite substantial and should be enough to run the i3 flawlessly. I guess you're on point by saying it's still on 5.0.2 and that is probably the main culprit. Hopefully Alcatel will tackle the issue soon, then they truly have a device they can be proud of for 100%, something the bigger brands and their "flagships" can learn from, imo. Did you see any improvement after the update?
My big issue was scroll lag that was in every browser, any page that had those menu overlays would stutter like a mofo. After the update it largely fixed it but still left stutter in ad laden pages. Once I installed Adguard my browsers became butter smooth. The Adreno 405 pushing 1080p res isn't doing well in 3D demanding games... if you need a phone for that get Zen2.
Thanks for the heads up. I just installed Adguard for the lulz on my old Samsung S3, quite nifty. I think the i3 will continue to impress and possibly get even better with coming updates.
Why on earth does your thread require I be in XDA 2015 theme to view it when none of the other threads do?
Good question. Probably because this thread is made of pure win
My guess is the idol using more of the 1ghz CPU to run a little cooler and save power, and when it is slow to switch to the 1.5ghz CPU is when we experience lag. Kind of like your using a 1ghz quad core phone. The idol has been proven to run cooler than its other 615 brothers, so it may be set to run on the slow CPU more.
It will definitely get better if they ever release 5.1.1. I'm not holding my breath.
I am already on the latest update, there is slight ( not sure if placebo ) improvement when scrolling web pages with mulitple images. Overall, I think it is fine unless you are power user.
Anymore input from users? What is your experience between before and after the update regarding to smoothness?
I found enabling gpu rendering for 2d made the phone run a lot smoother.
I was barely able to view this forum on it now I can scroll up and down and its buttery smooth (with the occasional hiccup here and there)
Changing default keyboard for Fleksy fixed all for me

Funny, I love that keyboard. Fleksy all the way, looks really clean too!
Try clearing your cache and/or doing a factory reset. Worked for me after the update slowed me down a little
no more lag since 10 06 update, this phone is finally totally great
When was it released? Is there a changelog?
there was a changelog when i got it, it's about stagefright and stuff

Not as fast here versus the Note5, but very top notch. Apps launch super quick
Seems on-par or better than other flagship devices.
For me apps are launching very quickly. So I would say app launch speed is excellent.
top notch speed here. I noticed the camera is way faster on custom builds.
top notch speed as well. all good
Yeah it has a top notch speed, seems a pretty good phone.
Even Google Hangouts launches quickly
wow looks great speedy phone

Actually I am interested in Mate8 because of its biiiiiiiger screen and best Soc at this moment, but I really care about the stock Android haha so little bit confuse, now holding N6 and feeling pretty good...

I just unlock Dev options and turn down the animation speeds as much as you want for a snappier response time.
I wish that game developers would optimize games for Android like they do for iOS. Take Angry Birds 2 and Deer Hunter 2016 for instance, those 2 games open lightning fast on iOS, but on the 6p, there's a noticeable delay when it's loading for the first time.
Upgrading to 7.x Android N will make a difference. The Just-In-Time compiler optimises app code and minimises delay.
Apps are claimed to install / load 75% faster.

I'm already running Nougat and the iPhone still smokes the 6p and the Pixel at opening games.

We're not having the iPhone or the iOS ecosystem in subject here.
Extremely satisfied with the app launch speed of my 6P. Apps launch very quickly and in app performance is top notch. Phone restarts offer significant boost in performance if you haven't restarted it for a month or 2. It's still not noticeable in daily use.
Not great

It's not great after the update of Android Nougat
Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi 5s is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi 5s exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

The Snapdragon 821 is more than enough for anything, I did not have any performance issues with LOS. It's just lightning fast.
My OnePlus One was faster with stock ROM. SD820/821 phones are crap if they doesn't have EAS or any extra tweaks. Ofcourse games aren't included in this.
My experience is also that it's very fast within apps, but just about adequate in the interface no matter the launcher. It has nothing to do with the hardware, but just the battery optimizations from Xiaomi. I do expect a large difference when MIUI 9 releases as the first reports confirm that it improves a lot in the feel of speed in the interface.
the phone is lightning fast, in fact it is one of the fastest phone i have ever used, altough the OP3T is faster but the Mi5s is definitely in My list of the fastest android phones
It's really fast for processing, games, but sometimes it just lags for no reason with slow scrolling.

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

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.

Very poor as of now. Hope the situation improves soon
I use this phone for graphic designing & klwp interface creation. + video editing and gaming.
I've been using nova launcher and klwp on my phone. It handles all and any task I throw at it without any issues. Great phone...
The hardware is Ok i guess. But One UI...... isn't ok at all... below is my Play store comment which i left for Samsung One UI (1 star obviously):
_____________________
Really slow compared to Huawei's EMUI launcher or any other. I expected One UI to run much smoother and faster. Slow when searching from home (searching anything); even inside the phone settings, let's say I type any keyword, the loading circle spins at least 3 times before the first result shows up (in EMUI, AOSP, Microsoft launchers everything is fast and instant). If you swipe down at Homescreen, keyboard doesn't display automatically. All in all experience, very laggy. I hate it.
______________
which is why im waiting for some stable and official Lineage Rom.... I simply cant stand the software part.
Strenght is weak now :/ ... seems A70 is quite difficult device to work with and probably there is no big chance to get better --- without device seeding program like Xiaomi do on XDA .
