OMG! Kim K posted another selfie with tons of cleavage! Rate this thread to express how quickly apps launch on the Note5. A higher rating indicates that even the most intensive apps launch quickly and without hesitation, even if they are no longer in RAM.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L.

Cached or not, apps open us faster than most other phones can brag about. The Exynos 7420 in the Note5 really shines in this regard, because loading apps from scratch has never been faster for me. There are plenty of videos demonstrating just how much faster the Note5 is at firing applications than the competition, and it really shouldn't be understated. If only that performance carried out to other aspects of the UI...

Even though people say the RAM issue is a problem, I don't think so. When in real world usage are you going to open and switch apps 20+ times in 1 minute? I think Samsung knew what they were doing. The ones who do complain care about the comparison videos of the Note 5 going up against *insert phone here*.

If your going to change apps like that, then go with the competition.

It opens up apps super fast and multi-tasks like a champ.

I agree, who actually uses their phone as depicted in those comparison tests. I've found the phone opens apps as fast as I need to use them.

I guess *as seen from reviews and comparisons* it's the fastest among all other android smartphones.*not sure about the iphone 6s*

On Lolipop 5.1., I think the apps launched faster in my opinion. Even though the overall speed of the phone is faster on the marshmallow. But we're talking couple .2 or .3 of second like formula speeds difference. Nevertheless, the app launch is fast, stupid fast on this phone. I mean, I don't remember sitting and waiting for the app to launch in like 5 or 10 seconds. I will say this, the difference between my droid bionic on ice cream sandwich and this note 5 on marshmallow app launch speed, is a pretty profound. NOW we're talking about 5-10 seconds faster than my 4 year old droid bionic phone. The difference between my note 3 lollipop and note 5 marshmallow, isn't as profound. Maybe about 1 seconds difference. Like I said, formula speed difference.
