For some reason scrolling long web pages causes lag. Scrolling smoothness in other places is fine, though.

Agreed

The scrolling smoothness is fine but very unresponsive. No HW overlay lag. The scrolled page does not track the finger. Tried in chrome, facebook, pinterest, instagram. It's not an issue on 5x only but all android v6.x I guess.
To reproduce: open facebook/instagram. Try to scroll up and down fast and you see the page is behind you about 1 mile . Or scroll fast down and touch the screen to stop. I've never catched the post I wanted to read - the page was scrolling even I tapped/holded the screen.
I can compare to IOS/Windows 10 (mobile) - no issue, excelent response. LG G3 v5.x better than v6.x but still can see the delay.
I will try on some boosted HW but do not expect any improvement...

I cured my scrolling lag by disabling Lastpass in the Accessibility extensions (you should disable all Accessibility extensions if possible). https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81950
After that it's fine, with only the occasional pause.
Please star this issue if you're affected, as it's a shame to have to turn off Lastpass to have a usable browser.

Amazing phone

I would strongly recommend you to go with nexus 5x as I'm using it since 6 months and I'm loving it.

Less responsive touch when charging
I got a three pin charger with Nexus 5X. As my room has a two pin socket I use an adapter to plug the three pin charger. But I am seeing that when my phone is charging the touch seems less responsive. Scrolling stutters a bit, typing is most inconvenient. I am guessing that it's happening due to adapting three pin to two pin but the third pin of my charger is made of plastic not metal. Should be like this?

Ok during light usage, when your heavily multitasking though things can start to slow down and scrolling begins to stutter. I think it's when the cpu throttles that scrolling starts to suffer.

Extremely smooth, no comment here.

So much for 4GB RAM, I'll wait for the multitude of devices already out and coming out with 6gb. Perfectly happy with the 5x for now. Not spending a grand on a phone where most of the money went into hardware, camera, advertising. Imo
Sent using my 5X on XDA

sometimes, it's not the device itself that has the problem, it's the app itself. official twitter app has scrolling lag whereas fenix twitter apps does not. it just comes down to optimization.

i feel this phone is very snappy and fast.. doesn't feel lag at all
This is one of the few times I'm giving a full 5 Stars ... because this is one area where I can't imagine it getting any faster.
Whether swiping from side to side for Apps and Widgets, or surfing up and down through pages and pages of Instagram or Internet pages, it's as buttery smooth as I could ever ask for.
Worst UI performance I've ever come across on Android. Choppy scrolling most of the time everywhere even the settings app wtf.
True. Worse in nougat

I can't rate this because they cancel each other out. Scrolling in Pokemon: Go = AWFUL. Scrolling everywhere else = beautiful.
Majority of the time scrolling is extremely smooth. Only exception is what's already been mentioned, webpages with lots of large images/content. This stupid $60 phone feels faster than my old LG G4!
Agreed, even after loading on the apps I use daily, it's way faster than my Galaxy Note 4... I'm switching my daily for now. Even with 1gb less ram, it handles load way better and when the phone was blank, there was really minimal ram usage. With the note, with nothing additional on the phone there's already 1.5-2gb of ram in active use
Smooth as butter. Better than G2 & G4. As good as S7.
Scrolls particularly well especially for the budget hardware
I agree with everbody here, no negative issues observed

Coming from a Lumia 950XL, this phone is so stuttery in web pages I'm beginning to regret my experience in Android. And that is with background apps closed too.☹
I chooses the P10 for my first Android after 9 years of iPhone. The reason was the lack of jailbreak possibility in future iOS versions and the high prices of the iPhones.
So, iOS runs extremely smooth and I never noticed any lags on max. 3 year old models.
In my opinion Huawei did a good job with Huawei.
Scrolling in Chrome works great, Stock launcher and Nova launcher are also very smooth.
Gallery scrolling is without any lags and other animations like multi tasking or open/close animations are buttery smooth as well.
I had a Samsung S7 for 3 weeks before I got my P10 and have to say, that Samsung sucks in this point and others. Nearly every animation is lagging and the whole software feels like the ram is full the whole time.
So initially when purchased it was very smooth, over time it definitely degraded as I installed over 50 apps, most unnecessary. I did a full factory reset, and now its smooth as it was. I think compared to the Galaxy S6 it is definitely smoother (play store especially).

Actually the HTC U11 deserves 6 stars in this category! This is the smoothest phone I've ever seen. Even the iPhone 7 can't compete. Marvelous.
Yup the selling point for me was this. Smoothness. Coming from a mate 8, I hated those moments when it lost its mind and went stunning...
Almost a year now. Never complain for no smoothness. Except poorly developed applications. But in Chrome, Facebook, Firefox focus, etc... Liquid smooth
Same on my U11, Unlocked 6GB/128GB, flawless. Have not even thought about factory reset or root since i got it. Silky smooth all around.

What about on apps that tends to be sloppy?

Mine glides like butter, not sure what's going on with yours. I'm using Chrome btw.

The only app I have that exhibits strange scrolling behavior would be Firefox Developer. It scrolls smoothly, but doesn't register swipe intensity well. this only occurs in firefox, so i'm not faulting the phone, but i've sent a message to mozilla about it.
One handed scrolling
I have had intermittent scrolling issues on the pixel 2 when I hold it one handed and try to scroll with my thumb. I realized it's because the base of my thumb is brushing the opposite side of the screen and preventing it from scrolling freely or clicking on something I didn't intend too. I had to adjust the way I hold it.
Choppy on Play store somehow...
So far, my scrolling has been as smooth as butter on ice. The only app I have an issue with is UCCW. On my original Pixel, it's very smooth but on my new Pixel 2, it's incredibly choppy. Like, the app scrolls smother on my old original Nexus 7 tablet and that thing runs incredibly slow now, lol. But other than that, everything else seems to run smooth. Chrome, Home, Harmony, IFTTT, Stringify, Hue, Photos, Youtube, Amazon, Walmart, Arlo, my SMS app....everything is buttery smooth. Its just something about UCCW that makes it stutter really bad on my Pixel 2 but not the original. But I rarely have to open and use UCCW so it doesn't bother me.
