Scrolling smoothness

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Samsung Galaxy S7 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".

What's with the choppy scrolling? Do I have a defective device?

Silky smooth so far.

What have you found that isn't smooth?

Chrome scrolls facebook well and considerably slower than the S6. Fenix scrolls twitter well, but slightly less smooth than the s6, but not so much to have me find another twitter agent.
Settings menu scrolls perfectly.
Notification shade drops down with not dropped frames, which is a major win.

Happens a lot in Chrome and Tinder. Also stutters here and there during general use.

Not a bit on chrome. Or notification pull down. Those are really smooth.

Mines exynos BTW.

So far butter!

Flicking up and down through is smooth. But, scrolling slow with my finger is choppy. Even here on xda.

How choppy are we talking? I personally came to XDA on my phone just to see if I could reproduce it and my phone seems to be silky smooth no matter where I'm scrolling. Any chance for a video of it?

I have seen shutters, but that's because I'd the ads. Using an as blocker and it's pretty smooth

I've found chrome to be choppy both on the s6 edge and the s7.

I use the Samsung browser and it's spot on

 

[mrnamster]

Swapped my S7 and it's still choppy, but it seems to be dependent on the app and not the device.

smoother than BUTTER here on Exynos version. cannot make it lag even if i try.

I was having this problem too, extremely choppy scrolling on almost any web page, I read some forums about a similar issue with the s6 and it recommend toggling the JavaScript support in both browsers and after doing so its pretty smooth, buttery smooth with JavaScript off but we need that on in 2016

Honestly, so far the S7 is a lot smoother than the S6 too me. This thing is buttery smooth so far. Samsung just needs to ditch their processors and stick with snapdragon. I can't get over how much smoother and responsive this phone is compared to the S6.

sometimes I feel there is some space for improvement ... egg app list is not butter fluent

new update is available for french version 70MB

Snapdragon version, tested out on 5GHz WiFi.

Mine is smooth in chrome, but chops when a page is loading or the page has heavy content/lots of pictures when scrolling faster.
Browsing XDA in Chrome is overall smooth, but can be choppy when the page is finishing loading and especially scrolling faster with longer posts with lots of ads between the posts.
Instagram and Twitter are overall smooth, but again if pictures are loading it gets choppy when scrolling faster.

Overall nice and smooth, for me seems to be just faster scrolling that causes choppiness.
Seems pretty normal to me, very happy with the S7 so far.

What website specifically? I have yet to see any choppy scrolling on this device.
