I am a scrolling smoothness fanatic.
I even wrote a custom app to try and understand wtf was up with the note 7 scrolling: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/note-7-weird-scrolling-touchwiz-root-t3455650
Every since I switched from iPhone a couple of years ago, I could never get that same smooth feeling. I went through about 7 android devices looking for that.
Now that that's clear, here is my review :
This phone is a revelation. I do not know how such smoothness is even possible.
It is the smoothest phone I saw in my entire life. It's even taking the luxury of over performing the iPhone.
I love it

Agreed. This thing puts the Pixel 2 series to shame when it comes to butter smoothness, not to mention app loading.

Hi. Do you guys find the scrolling to be choppy when scrolling slowly? For me it is very choppy.

Not at all. This is the most buttery smooth phone I have EVER used.

Does this video seem like the scolling is smooth to you?

That's definitely not how it should be.

That's definitely how it is for some of us. Mine was worse than shown in the video but since the latest OOS update (4.7.4) it has improved considerably. Still seeing some stuttering going on here and there but for the most part it's cleared up.
Brand new 2 day old phone no root, bootloader locked and everything installed and setup from scratch.
My personal experience so far, other than the initial lag/stutter, has be mostly positive and I'm loving my new phone.
Can't wait to root and unlock the bootloader to open this puppy up and see what she can REALLY do.

I figured out what it was. It was an app that I downloaded to monitor usage and it was causing lag and scrolling. I did a factory reset and now everything is working smooth as butter

Darn, I hope it'll just get better once HTC starts patching and updating things more. If rumors are true that HTC will probably make a Nexus variant of the 10, you would say we'd see a lot of improvements on the side of the 10, unless they vastly revamp the hardware. post #600 hurrah
I'm actually experiencing some stuttering while scrolling on some apps. Google Plus, Facebook and phone settings are the most noticeable
I've noticed this problem too and it's more prominent in some apps than others. It also happens more frequently when the app is still loading content. Is this considered a malfunction of the phone or does it not happen to all HTC 10?
It happens to all Android phones...

Didn't notice it on my Nexus 5.
It depends on the app. Other than being app based, I experience nothing different than my SHIELD or iPad

I think it was something messed up after playing with several themes for a while. After a memory cleanup and a restart, everything's back to smooth again

I personally don't see any slow downs, compared to my old phone, nexus 6P, id say it's on par. Speed up animations to 0.5.
HTC sense since the m7 has always been snappy though. I'd have expected no less from the 10 and sense 8.
I suppose if you loaded it with tonnes of widgets and had a few things running it may slow but the 820 isn't a slouch and should cope with pretty much anything
mine is always buttery smooth unless I'm using it while its charging. I'm assuming thats a heat caused issue though.
I've never encountered any slowdowns.Sense 8 is as snappy as stock Android.
Buttery Smooth
Scrolling is always smooth. No matter how many apps are running in the background or how long the pages I am browsing are, it's just amazing. :good::good:
Check your SD card
Hi everyone, I had this problem and I was wondering why, suddenly I had a problem with the SD card (Sandisk 128 GB) which I never doubted its performance. So I reformat it on the phone, and the phone became 10 times more responsive, no glitches (unless extremely minor android glitches), and can report that the phone is really a beast. So I highly recommend if you have an SD card, especially old one, to reformat it and give it a try.
Smooth as a baby's bottom.
Never a lag with the 10
WOW, I have never got a lag on this device and it is no surprise.

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.

I noticed that the animation speed on my unit was set to 0.5x and 0.1x and the scrolling was overall choppy.
Opening and closing apps was the same.
It kind of gave the impression of a really fast phone but with the sacrifice of smoothness.
I've gone and changed the animation speed to 1x and it's behaving more than decently from the developer options.
Just a tip

Isn't better with no animation what so ever, no effects? Gets quicker when set off. For me works better this way, no animation.
Yes, I agree it's faster that way, and apps and menus open and close faster but my problem was, being a long time Nexus user is that it gave a noticable choppy feel. I instinctively knew that they've changed the animation speed from the Android default 1x.
I've since sold the mate and bought the Samsung s8 as it was on a deal and it hardly cost me extra.
By comparing both in terms of app and menu opening speed the mate is faster but not fluid. And that's what bothered me. Fluidity.

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.
