Feels very snappy, pretty much always.

The honor does fast, and smooth all around. I have not experience any form of "gittering" with their default battery management setup, thus it does not take away from the performance at all. Now when I switched the battery management to "performance" you would notice slight difference when playing heavy duty games. Over all, they did really good with the overall speed of the software.

I benchmarked the Honor 8 and my P9 and the Honor 8 won. Not necessarily the fairest test as I only ran it once, but perhaps the Honor 8 has been further optimised? Or can manage thermal issues better?
Either way, they're so close that unless you really want the premium look and feel of the P9, get the Honor 8. You also get Infrared and a fast charger in the box, which you certainly don't with the P9!
BTW, I don't own a Honor 8 (at least not yet) and love my P9 - but the Honor 8, especially in blue, looks awesome!

It is fast, no lag. Haven't found a game yet that it couldn't handle.

It has good cpu speed but the gui rendering is choppy in spots. It would have been nice if they used a GPU that matches the CPU but they cheaped out just like Mediatek. The real bummer is the poor battery life.

At the moment ir runs well, no lag, cause I didn't install many apps now on my phone, but to be honest, when I watch movies with it for 6 hours, it will heat, this makes me a little sad.

I have had no issues with the performance. I am running Nova Launcher on it and have no issues. Also, great battery life and no signs of getting hot during regular use. The software is definitely something that you have to spend a lot of time looking at. Not used to having to whitelist aps in order to keep them on when the phone is off such as Google Clock for alarms, etc. I also use Textra for texting as with the stock ap it doesn't pop up at all, just gives a small notification in the top bar.
But once I got it set up the way that I liked, it has been running great!

Thank you for the positive comments on the overall speed of the Honor 8 device! Housing a 9V/2A fast-charging technology reaches a 47% (from 0%) charge in just 30 minutes. So when you’re out there changing the world, the Honor 8 has you covered — with up to 10 hours of nonstop video playback and a speedy recharge. We appreciate the feedback! (NS)

It Performs great

I have been using Honor 8 for more than a month. Everything is fast and smooth, which can handle almost any apps easily. However, the phone can be very hot when running demanding game like GTA:SA.

That's due to the weak GPU on it, even SD810 devices have better GPU

Poor battery life? I hope not. All the reviews talk about better than expected battery life.

For me, average uptime is about 1d12h with 5+h screen on

Temperature of gpu does not affect how powerful or weak they are. Gta SA is easily maxed out on mediatek 6595 with powervr6200. If its hot, means the person is new to smartphone or maybe dont own any smartphone at all before this. The average temp while gaming is around 38-40°c only on the screen area(depends on how graphic intensive youre playing). Honor 8 is one of the coolest in temperature when it comes to gaming.

That's very informative, thanks :laugh:

I would add this
https://youtu.be/4PNvj419AAs
As a real usage test. It performs on par with Mi5s Plus, only slightly beaten by the extra 2GB of ram. SD821 is also a bit cooler and with better GPU. But Kirin 950 architecture, RAM and file management is pretty much up there with the best.

Speed is just awesome ... it's a flagship ... not expecting anything else
Performance is good but i think there is a problem that lags the keyboard.
I Don't know its my phone or else, but in some games, its little bit lag when loading some scene. But one thing that I notice that my S7 signal is more weak than my previous phone (on LTE), it's very noticeable that sometime I have to restart my phone or change it to 3G first than switch it back.
I have had similar signal issues while my other gs7 had a good signal. Replaced the device now the signal is good..
As far as speed, it feels slower to me then my s6 and note5 games dont run as smooth, gear vr jitters or glitches quite a lot, something the note5 never did. And it doesnt register touches well. I have had these issues on 3 separate gs7. 2 mine and the one i returned and swapped mainly because the signal and i could see glue separations and striations in sunlight between the lcd and screen. I have really come to dislike this phone, a first for me with samsung.
My S7 doesn't seem much faster than the LG G2 it replaced. Might this have something to do with the higher resolution?
Much faster and snappier than lg g3 i have ownded previously.

Sometimes lags (barely visible)
This is my new account and was here since my galaxy s2 and I really looked deeply into the matter.
Improved to an S4 later and tuned the hell out of it. And now having an S7.
The Hardware and the processor improved really much since then, so it's not an hardware issue, it's allways a configuration and software issue, if the phone lags.
I can't understand why people are unhappy with their phones, that aren't "snappy" enought.
It's their fault, because they accept the default settings most of the time and don't care about improving their phone by themself, by optimizing settings, disable useless/unused features and remove all that bloatware and spyware crap.
Also with a good custom rom most of these problems are solved anyway, even by default if the developer did the optimization for you... lazy ass
Maybe start with something like that:
Activate Beast Mode on Galaxy S7

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
22h straight? How is this even possible? was the phone plugged in?
This phone idle drains almost as much battery when in use, if you are a heavy use, this is not a bad phone for you.
Coming from the Droid maxx I find the battery to be underwhelming. The only saving grace is the quick charge. Love the device hardware but battery sucks.

mine starts to heat in less than 5 min as soon as i activate the wifi
It gets hotter than Galaxy S5. Gets very hot when doing continous web browsing. Gets overheat warning when playing VR for 30 mins.
The game's name is Lands End
Mine doesn't get hot at all but I am not gaming. About the hottest it gets when updating Android. And I live in a very hot and humid climate so I am very satisfied.

Can you download CPU-Z and tell us the battery temperature when you are on Chrome for more than 10 minutes and when you are charging the phone ? Mine gets warm after using it a bit and hot when charging.
I don't browse much on the phone. It's just annoying. Also, I have been using USB charging from a desktop which is horribly slow but also doesn't heat up the battery which is good. Like I said the only time I notice it getting hot is on a long Android update. When I update all apps and have like 20 or 30 apps to be updated it gets warm but not hot. And the ambient temp here is around 90-95F right now in my living room. Right now on phone info it shows 33C CPU and 33.3C battery. I don't use cpuz because of the ads. I thought cpux had temps but i can't find them now.
Oh it does get hot with the wall charger! I have been using usb charging and it takes over three hours to go from 40% or so to full but the phone stays cool. The wall charger is much faster but it really heats up the phone. I guess what you are seeing is normal. Try usb charging if you don't need to get the battery full in a hurry.
Using this phone while playing Pokemon Go gets me about 4-1/2 hours until i need to recharge. I usually use my Samsung Charging pad to recharge my phone. just sit it down and leave it.
low endurance, i using phone every day, instagram facebook and other soc. media and i have to charge phone twice a day :/
i heavily modified my s7 software (Google Play Services replaced with microG, Xposed installed, Magisk installed, Amplify, Greenify, Better Battery Saver, Disable-Service, PowerNap, AFWall+, AdAway, AppOps, etc), and i get very very good battery, 6 hours SOT minimum with heavy LTE usage on whatsapp, facebook, instagram, etc. But yeah, in stock bloated rom, battery sucks.

Does your s7 have the exynos processor or snapdragon? if it's snapdragon, can you tell me what other apps you used to get such awesome battery life, or what guides you used that led you to the use of such apps? I can barely crack 4 hours SOT with mainly Firefox, Youtube use, and some facebook/whatsapp. On top of that, when I rooted my s7 and tried using greenify+amplify+forcedoze my battery life was VERY BAD compared to stock and full bloat.
I purchased this phone on 12/21 from Best Buy. I am coming from an unlocked Moto Z Play with which I was averaging 10 hours of screen time. Greatness and benchmark every OEM should consider. The apps on the S7 are the same as I had on the Moto. Today is my first day of a full charge and I have actually used it less than I typically would the Moto Z Play. I would try to kill the battery on the Moto purposely. That thing just kept going. Underwhelming battery life is about right for the S7 but I knew coming in that there would be absolutely no comparison.
Why did I switch? This phone game is one of give and take. I would take the Moto Z Play with that Snapdragon 625, insane battery life, 10x better finger scanner and the software experience over the S7 any day. There was one thing that I could not deal with on the Moto and this is where the S7 shines. The camera on the Moto is horrendous.
I have a nice shooter but I don't lug it everywhere I go. More times than not I want to take a picture with my phone where you just wouldn't carry a camera.
So, as of this post I am on target for about 4 hours of SOT on the S7 which falls short of what I am used to (Moto Z Play, 10 hours and about 8 on the iPhone 6 Plus that I just sold).
Give and take. Return this S7 and go back to the Moto Z Play but deal with a camera that sucks but IMHO excels over the S7 in every other aspect?

It would be useful to state whether you own the Exynos or the Snapdragon* version I have the Exynos, it doesn't get hot, not even when charging. 6 hours game time.

It's Exynos! i think 4hs SOT with Qualcomm it's ok since it is less efficient (At least on our phone). I can't tell about battery drain on root because the root method of your version is different, so maybe it's a kernel issue (no deep sleeping or something like that or a bad CPU governor keeping the cores at high frecuency).
Just installed BTU firmware on my 930FD. Doing reasonably well. Display resolution set to 1080p, getting about 30m more SOT than MM.

Slowness in opening the app , software or hardware problem ?

Sorry for my bad english.
I have noticed in some videos that opening heavy applications , the HTC 10 is very very slow .
link:
https://youtu.be/FB5W2DYrl5o?t=5m54s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-voDhSxF4U
More than 40 seconds to open Real Racing 3 , it is not normal for me.
Ok , Htc 10 does not use UFS memory , but even P9 (20 seconds ) or a medium- range as Meizu M3 Note ( less than 30 seconds ) . You think it is just a issues of memory , or is a software problem that over time will improve?
Another review confirms how slow it is compared to the S7 Edge. It is worrying because the difference in loading seems huge. I'm wondering as well if its down to slow storage performance.
incredible, I have no words. the gap is too large to just be a memory problem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l97ZCFAqqjM
It seems to suffer from throttling
Unless the phone has an SD set to adoptable storage set.....

Looking at the video...no it doesn't. Quite consistent actually.
Also could people for the love of god stop throwing the throttle word around without actually understading what is happening here..
Of course the first Antutu benchmark number was really high because the phones started off cool as a cucumber.
You know, that unibody is a huge freaking heatsink. It's able to absorb a lot of heat and gives the 10 the competetive edge in this kind of a test.
S7 has over 5% less mass vs 10 and a glass back as well. Inside you'll find a teeny tiny heatpipe which is supposed to spread the heat more evenly but there's no visible thermal interface material to actually help that process of pulling the heat away from the SoC to the heat pipe and then spread that heat to the mid frame.
Read: the S7 "throttles" right out of the gate.
Thermal interface material is used to have a better contact between two surfaces, otherwise there will be air trapped between those surfaces and air is not good at transferring heat.​Same goes with the G5, at least it has almost the same mass as the 10 but it's got that silly primer paint and whatnot covering it. LG, you're a genius, of course that's gonna help the heat get away :silly:
And no TIM goop here either, just some sort of thin heatspreader on top of the SoC/UFS NAND and some thermal tape which would then, hopefully, make contact with the metal frame. Problem here is that there's not a lot metal for the heat to transfer to. Also thermal tape < proper paste/goop or thermal pads.
Unfortunately we don't have teardown of the HTC 10 yet, I'm interested in seeing what kind of thermal solution they've got there.
If you take a look at the standard or average deviation of those results, not including test #1 which is the warm up lap, the deviation of HTC 10 scores is just as good or just as bad as the Galaxy S7. G5 being the worst of the bunch and P9 being slooow and consistent at that, doesn't surprise me when looking at the teardown of it..

Or the geekbench numbers, this time we don't need to exclude the #1 test because the warm up was already done with Antutu.
No problem with single core, almost as good as the S7. This comes down to kernel and governor differences.
I'm not sure what happened here with the multi core numbers with the 10, if I'd got that kind of results, I would've restarted the whole test all over again. I wouldn't accept that kind of a variation, #1-2 being close to each other and then dropping by over 6% with #3-4 being close to each other again.
Just by having some random background process do "stuff" could have an effect like that, single core didn't have that where as with multicore test all of the cores are used which of course means that even if one of those is doing something else...
The P9 for example does show some signs of performance degradation here, first one being high and the following three drop off and are close to each other.
The G5 then shows a random drop as well at #3, just 2% but still a little odd.
But nevertheless. These kinds of tests are ridiculously stupid.
How about you take a look at proper testing over here.
http://anandtech.com/show/10252/htc-10-battery-storage-results
If you don't know what to look at, I'll help you.
This, is throttling. You just simply cannot have a device as small as a phone keep the GPU performance up for very long.
The Adreno 530 is ridiculously powerful and with 256 ALUS's and 600+ Mhz clockspeed, it's going to guzzle a lot of power and in the process create a lot of heat.
Apple on the other hand is obsessed with the consistency and it shows. PowerVR's architecture is just so much more efficient along with Apple's own optimizations.
But anyway, S7 and 10 show the same amount of performance degradation.
And here's FPS/vs time.
The 10 of course drops off faster as HTC doesn't want to burn your fingers. They have a completely different body on the device which means different skin temp restrictions.
But in the long run, S7 is all over the place while the 10 gives you a more consistent performance.
I have no clue why on earth Samsung would prefer that kind of oscillating performance. What you wanna have is strict temp limits with high enough temperature hysteresis so it doesn't start jumping up and down like that.
As an example would you rather have a GPU in your PC which fan would sound like WEE-UUU-WEE-UUU jumping all over the place like a kid on a trampoline or a gradual and consistent hum? Not the same thing of course, closest analogy I could think off, but that kind of fan behaviour of course affects modern GPU's with their automatic "overclocking" or rather their clockspeed through the TDP and temperature limits.
It's not good for the longevity of CPU/GPU dies and other semiconductors either if there's sudden temperature jumps all the time, it's known as thermal stress.
Also, what a lovely dip on the S7 to the high 20's fps as it ran into the temperature limit road block.
What happened was that it tried to overachieve by keeping the clocks high longer > oops I reached the thermal limit, now I have to throttle waay down to save myself. Then after that it jumps up and down...
Would've been nice to see the battery+CPU/GPU temps in those graphs!
And I would love to get those T-Rex numbers in a spreadsheet and have a closer look at them.
Most of these youtubers are zombie buyers with 0% knowing about software etc.. When htc starts shipping 10's, go in local stores and try device for yourself, i may sound like a htcwhore, but i'm right on this.
Just don't trust too much this stupid reviews(even before official shipping...).
@lagittaja Geekbench is constant, but steadily low. G5 with the same cpu has the highest scores (500 in single core and 1800 in multi). I want to wait for the commercialization of the device before drawing conclusions. I think maybe it was castrated to save battery and not giving a bad impression as G5.

Question Screen on Time

Hi Everyone,
The F62/M62 is a battery champ for sure, but a lot of reviews indicate that the efficiency is not as great as the M51 with the 730G. Please post your screen on time so that everyone could benefit from it.
PS: I saw in the M51 thread that people were getting 15+ hours of screen on time by disabling a lot of useless apps using Samsung Package disabler pro. Has anyone tried something similar on F62?
Cheers!
Following. I get 17hrs+ on my M51 with Greenify and certain apps disabled. Interested to see how F62 performs in comparison.

I am getting 10hr of screen on time on average on Samsung f62.
Cons :
Other then that I face random heating near camera
GPU is not that powerfull, Jitters while playing in full graphics : cod, pubg, asphalt 9.
It took 2 hrs to charge the phone.
No system app lock.
Pros :
Display is awesome.
Camera is superb in daylight images.
Full Knox support
Waiting for custom ROMs.
Hi everyone,
Just got a new F62 but I don't find this to be a battery champ. I hardly get any screen on time and the usual brightness is just good enough to see the screen in the dark. Attached is my battery usage. (working from home don't need high brightness). Not entirely sure if this is an issue with my device or if I'm missing something that I should be doing (removing useless apps and installing greenify)

Exactly.... i have samsung f62 device. The battery backup is just fab. When it comes to gpu at starting while playing a high end game like asphalt or cod the performance was about 60 fps. Gradually devices gets to heat up and the cpu tends to be slower like it literally drops to 30 in order to reduce heat and yhats a bad thing in this software as of mi and oppo phones the software won't reduce cpu speed even when device gets hot but thats not safe anyway as it may explode. So what's the thing? Nothing just wait for the update of play those high end games in a cool place where cpu gets cooler even when gpu is hot

Lol. I don’t even own this phone anymore. Gone back to using the weak note 20 ultra battery.
So far I've managed 10hr 14min with 26% battery still remaining.
That was 2:30hr using Google nav on max brightness. The rest was mostly watching YouTube with mid brightness. I use digital wellbeing to measure my screen time.
Note: My phone is running the latest F62 firmware and I have partially debloaded my phone with ADB
I am getting 10 Hr average SOT with a full charge, almost 10% drop overnight. Software is poorly optimized. Samsung is doing nothing about it. My phone is under the Flipkart Smart Upgrade Plan so I can't even do anything. This is not the performance of a 7000mah battery, I thought the heavyweight was a tradeoff but it's not. Feel cheated.
I can do between 13 and 16 hours of screen time, if I turn on power saving, limit CPU by 70%, reduce brightness by 10%, I get more than 15 hours easy! I also disabled some apps, which maybe helped the autonomy!

Question What is the "normal" temperature ?

I had a lot of mobiles phones, and this one for me is the hottest... is normal ?

It's "normal. It goes even higher under heavier usage. Snapdragon 888 is to blame here. Don't look for "solutions" on how to "cool my phone down". lol SOC is trash and it's consuming way to much power thanks to Samsung and their manufacturing **** process.

People worry way too much. These SoCs are meant to run hot and throttle themselves long before they do damage. Put a case on it to mitigate the physical sensations somewhat and just go about your life. It's because of complaints like this that companies like OnePlus and Samsung have been selling us devices with forced throttles, impacting battery life by shifting processes to less powerful cores.

Well then you just gotta get used to it running warm or turn off 5G and use power saving modes, use a kernel that allows you to undervolt/underclock.
5G produces a ridiculous amount of heat when it's actively being used. My iPhone 12 Pro Max would get so hot I couldn't hold it when I used the 5G modem for more than a minute of downloading. My OnePlus 9 is thankfully better but still not great and it wastes a ton of power in standby anyway, almost three times what it uses with 5G disabled.
The 888 does run warm when it's firing on all cylinders but I hardly ever notice my OnePlus 9 getting warm unless I'm using it heavily so check and make sure you don't have background processes going rogue.

Ive had zero issues with device heating. 888 is silica lottery
the max temp i had was 32º celsius ... but like i said, never had a mobile so hot like this
As others have said, it’s mostly the 888’s fault. I sold my 9 Pro as it got way too warm to use comfortably for my use case.
Using GPS outdoors would prompt an overheating message in ~10-15 minutes.
Gaming is also not fun. After ~5 minutes of Genshin you can feel the heat, and after ~10-15 minutes into Genshin it’s uncomfortably warm to hold and makes my hands perspire.
