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 S8 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".

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

Lags and stutters :| not horribly though! it's like console compared to a PC (iPhone and others being a PC ok maybe more like 144hz compared to 30-60fps )

I am also interested why every android while using data lags.

With chrome browser things are a bit better. Defenetly the stutter is there but not as persistant as it is on the stock internet explorer.

As a mobile dev in a first phase I thought it was caused by the app I was working on, but I can definitely say that this stuttering is actually a system-wide issue with the S8

It's probably related to the Samsung's Android ROM; I'd love to hear feedback from ppl with custom ROMs, I'm quite confident they don't have this kind of issue.

No scroll stutter in anything except facebook app and playstore which forced me to actually use facebook via chrome and the problem was solved. I have disabled a whole bunch of services and other apps and it helped quite much.

A tip for chrome users is to enable data saver built in option and use adblock. Ads these days are one of the main causes of stutter in web browsing.

Not every Android. Stock Android does not lag at all. Try a Pixel for a day and report back.

Sammy just has way to much bloat on top of Android. Even 6 gigs on the Note 8 cant fix the occasional lag.

Pixel does lag as well when using data in background. I've tested it. Just ios change priority to higher when on the top and giving less priority to network access to make UI smoother.

Good to hear buddy. Glad you tested it.


I have a Note 8 and a Pixel 2 in my hands right now. Night and day difference. But since you tested it for me, you must be right.

We were talking about Pixel nature Pixel in first place, did we? I don't know pixel2 and oreo. Maybe you're right. I was comparing my girlfriend's pixel 1 with my s8 couple months ago. PXL definitely better than s8+ but not buttery smooth. Do you own one? Make a video with profile gpu rendering On.
