Now that there's still time. Keep in mind previous OPes had touch latency issues.

Touchscreen latency issues seemed to be buried with OP2 completely and OP3 at the beginning. There was one great article regarding OP3 xda-developer article and there was promises for better performance with OPV. If you haven't felt and appreciated the buttery smoothness of a Nexus, a Pixel or a iPhone OPV shouldn't be a problem but faster the better, right? So I don't want a phone with latency like OP2 or 3 did. I hope touch latency isn't a problem with OP5 and if it is I hope the problem doesn't get buried like it did with previous OPes.

Post experiences (and what you have compared it to)!

At least in the initial plethora of reviews all of them said the OP5 had a buttery smooth UI and when some compared it to the S8 said it was smoother. I'm not talking about the contentious bench mark tests either. These reviewers had the OP5 for two weeks before the release having signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Did you not watch the launch stream? There was a segment where they CLEARLY focused on fixing this issue.
Haven't had time. Should probably have but segment on launch stream isn't good enough for me because we all should know they aren't exactly 100% trustworthy.

Maybe I'm expecting a bit too much and a bit "ruined" because I use mainly my pc that has a 144hz monitor and a good mouse so it has as fast as available response time and I'm comparing phones a bit to that.

I think user amathur2k posted something worth noting. If OP5 truly has 88ms and iPhone 41ms so that's double difference and I'm sure it's meaningful. It's the difference of good and excellent. But now that I've looked up some articles (can't link them - forum's new user restrictions) maybe all devices are worse than I've expected and I'm expecting just too much from my phone.

So OK OnePlus 5 is fine but I want to see something like 10ms (I know i'ts not realistic currently)

Sounds good based on reviews and especially if they say that in comparison to s8 but s8 isn't directly comparable because touchwiz has some "interesting" UI desicions and one of them is ensuring that touches are registered correctly so that escpecially wipes are ensured. I think galaxy does that by doing what for many is excessive smoothing but maybe better for a mainstream product like galaxy. So I think OnePlus is a bit more raw with it's input handling.

What worries me is that exactly the same was said about OnePlus 2 in reviews and especially now that reviewers have written a agreement ( I don't know if it's normal ) there may have been some pressure to say that it's smooth and as they propably haven't directly pressured the hypetrain definitely has.
