Weak spot. Sometimes finger gets lost or does not recognize touches

Can only speak for Oreo EMUI8 firmware, its super smooth. No lags or delays ever when using native apps nor when using Firefox or other browsers.
Scrolling through list of SMS (some 1500+ messages ) is without any lag. Could scroll to bottom without a hitch.

Nexus 5X Lag

Using snapchat and even just the regular camera, I am experiencing a lot of lag when the camera is first loading up.
snapchat is really slow.
instagram is slow as well/
anyone else seeing the same problem?
The camera and instagram apps don't lag for me. But Snapchat definitely does -- it's pretty bad. But that is absolutely the only app that I have experience any kind of lag with.
Snapchat lags pretty bad and gsm battery stats. IG is not laggy at all for me
I'm also experiencing lag after launching regular camera app. It takes a few seconds for the app to settle down and be able to focus/take pictures.
I'm also experiencing lag if you take multiple HDR+ photos in a roll....
I hope Google could optimize the app more.
The Google Play Newsstand app gets very laggy for me if I view a few feeds in a row.
I get most of my lag in Chrome when viewing a page with lots of images. Sometimes the phone lags when I unlock it and tries to switch apps. Memory leak issue like Lollipop?
Try signing up for snapchat beta, when I first got my 5X the lag in snapchat was unbearable, each of the 3 snapchat updates since first using the 5X have greatly improved the usability of the app. Still lags on camera startup and while taking pictures, but the rest of the app has gotten a lot better of the past few days.
Make sure you are running the latest software build, MDB08I. I don't use Snapchat but it definitely helped smooth out the camera app

Snapchat is an incompatibility with marshmallow. I had it with my nexus 6 as well
I have not noticed egregious lags, but frame drops are aplenty. Google's animation team did a wonderful job to hide the most irritating aspects of animations, but anyone who is semi-sensitive to dropped frames can see frames dropping left and right.
Stock camera definitely lags more often than not for me. I do have Camera FV-5 so I might give that a try more and see if it's more reliable.

Snapchat lag is horrible, basically can't use it
I'll have to try out Snapchat Beta and see if it fixes it otherwise, this really blows.
If you use Casper instead of the official Snapchat app, you'll see significantly less lag. I still get some bad freezes even with SC uninstalled, though
I've noticed some lag here and there, but nothing worse than I was seeing on my Nexus 5 previously. I'd like to see if disabling the encryption has any positive impact on these kinds of behaviors. Presently I don't have a reliable way to make the N5X start lagging but if anyone else does, maybe we can begin working around it.

I didn't know about Casper, thanks!!!
I didn't noticed any lag on mine..
The Lag is real
This phone acts so slow compared to the rooted and flashed Nexus 5 I had, its laggy between switching apps, browsing, FB and even when simply going to the home screen from whatever I was doing. I've tried downgrading the animation scales in Dev Settings and still. Not sure ifi will need to return phone or root and flash.....
Been seeing quite snappy performance all around, quite similar to my old z2. The camera definitely has a little stutter as it is first opened though. I'd like to blame some of the stutters and weirdness I am currently experiencing to the state of apps on marshmallow. By weirdness, I mainly just get some bizarre behavior from the hangouts app.
Performance is quick and snappy just like my N5.
Mine is laggy like a dog in the stock camera app while loading/changing from portrait to landscape/taking the photo.
I've had years old androids run faster than that. I hope there is a fix soon.

I use Firefox as the browser of choice, and pages load quickly, scroll smoothly, and render well. Scrolling around in apps like Clash of Clans when you zoom in, and scroll around, are all very smooth. No issues.

Chrome scrolling performance very extremely poor on Mate 20 x,

I recently upgraded to the Mate 20 X and I'm finding the scrolling performance in Chrome browser to be a very poor stuttery mess.
Try this out,
load up the chrome browser, in the address/search bar type 'brownie recipe', now slowly scroll the page up and down, hitching, stuttering, not smooth at all.
Now do the same but use the google app, buttery smooth? doesn't make sense.
Now enable performance mode in the battery settings menu and try the same in chrome browser again, buttery smooth?
I swear when these phones were sent out for review they all had the performance mode on by default.

After using Chrome for years I switched to Samsung Browser Beta and everything is smooth. It even has a dark mode and all web pages you visit are dark when dark mode is enabled. It has add-on support as well and fingerprint login for whatever websites you want. I'll never use Chrome again.
Hello, I use Chrome Dev instead of Chrome and everything is ok.

Better you use Samsung Internet Browser + Adblock
For all it's worth I have no such issues with Firefox Beta, however it is not one of the fastest Android browsers to begin with, but it is extremely configurable. Great assortment of extensions (uBlock Origin, Cookie AutoDelete, etc), bookmark synching, DNS over https, and a ton of other options under about:config

Mine is buttery smooth when doing this, the only "lag" is loading more recipes at the bottom of page, but scrolling is like cutting warm butter.
no issues on mine, but I am in performance mode all the time...
I had poor performance with Chrome too. Problems was with the Chrome beta testing which selected my Phone to go 2G-network on newspaper site.

Time to take picture (camera launch speed)

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Xiaomi Mi A3 can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.

with double clicking power button shortcut, it takes about a second from sleep. Pretty fast, and good enough for my daily use. There's a shutter lag with ai processing though, but none in a gcam app.

Yeah, that shortcut is really useful

120Hz support for Chrome

Is there currently a way to have Chrome take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate? While I have 120Hz selected on my S20+ I noticed Chrome scrolling wasn't as smooth as in other apps.
Going to https://testufo.com/ confirms my observations as it reports 60Hz. It does work properly in the Samsung browser despite giving stutter warnings.
Weird, testufo is reporting 120Hz on Chrome for me.
S20+, ATBM, all current.

Are you using the main version of Chrome or Chrome beta? Main version here
Edit - While I've noticed scrolling smoothness issues in Chrome before, I force closed the browser and re-launched it and it's working. I'll see if it's just an intermittent thing or something
Haven't had it drop down to 60Hz in Chrome, but scrolling is still really bad! Might just stick with the Samsung browser or something at this point (I like the layout of the Edge browser, but there's too many issues with it otherwise)
I have to say that I prefer the Samsung browser anyway: It has a good dark mode and it supports ad blocking plugins. But that is a personal preference.

I just might try it out - as long as 1Password works with it (I'll check)
Update - yes it does! Now to install the Chrome bookmark sync extension on my desktop. Thanks!
Update 2 - scrolling performance is even worse on the Samsung browser! Guess I'll just have to live with this issue for now.
Sometimes when the phone is too hot, it will change back to 60Hz and may have the significantly lags.
I've also experieced the same problem after I do the wireless charging and the back of the phone got so hot, and the chipset (Exynos) got thermal throttling. The phone became very laggy and when I checked with screen info, it went down to 60Fps.
Unless my eyes are tricking me, Firefox seems to be showing me 120hz smoothness? Tried a few different sites to check. Got a few extensions installed, too.
