To tell you the truth I'm disappointed.. It gets stuck alot when I use few apps simultaneously..

I'm surprised to hear that. This is one of the fastest and smoothest phablets I've ever had. I'm a civil engineer and I even do minor dwg file editing when away from the office. Viber, Messenger, WhatsApp etc are always in the background as is Gmail, Office Lens, Chrome and Dropbox. Also, notifications keep storming in.
I really haven't seen such smoothness and speed since the 1+ 3T running the AEX ROM. Keep in mind that the 1+ had 50% more memory!

I've had my Ultra for 6 months, and it can handle anything I throw at it. It was good on Nougat, but better on Oreo. It games with the best of them, it handles multitasking like a breeze, and with a near stock interface, it runs hella fast.

RAM mangament should be better. On my previous Asus Zenfone 2 I can open more apps without reload. Mabye flash custom kernel and ROM will help. Except that - I am very satisfied.

Its fast compare to my old iPhone 6. But it's not so stable compare to my older device.
Its keyboard is a failure, keeps lagging and delay whenever I typed too fast, have to install another keyboard, I know it's quite normal but it really frustrates me

I don't use the pre-installed Swype keyboard. My best is Gboard

Gboard does his job pretty well and I've tried many of other virtual keyboards but none compare to Gboard.

Probably the fastest phone I've ever had. My last phone galaxy s7 is not match for this beast. 10/10!

Lol mine must be bugged or something. The software is so damn glitchy, the phone keeps lagging for 5 secs like every 2-3 minutes. You guys have any problems with the stability?

My Huawei p8lite VS Huawei p10 consumes a lot of ram memory

Just updated to Oreo. Phone still have stutters here and there just like in Nougat. My other phone (sony xz) is much smoother and feels faster.

Yeah, mine too has lag and stuttering all around (apps, app drawer, games - you name it).
I saw that I have the "slow" and old memory type on and it sucks big time, I've bought the phone on pre-order, but never again, it's a ****ty thing Huawei did with this device...

Owned the 5 for a few weeks now. Its slow as hell. stutters when scrolling, just feels laggy for a modern phone. I gave it a 3 as its 'ok' for the money but other wise a 2 compared to anything decent.

Agree. Additional 1 GB ram would be useful. Furthermore, here in Poland you can get better phone for less.

Well, it is not very fast for money, but you are paying extra for build quality and support, which is great IMO.

I agree with @kennyhkw, it's ok for the price range but laggier than I expected it to be

moved recently
I have moved from apple to android recently
I have just been checking the specs of the iphone 6 vs Nokia 5
my nokia 5 is so slow - i thought it was faulty to be honest - I have just run some bench marking tools on it and it is within the realms of what it should be.
It's not a good choice for anyone who is more than a light user, the camera app on oreo is also horrific - trying to slide photo to video or back again is like russian roulette.
so far i'm very disappointed - i'm wondering if dropping it down to 7.2 might improve things ?
owned it for about a month now but can't see me staying with it at present.
I'd score it a generous 2 - it's cheap but I was expecting something solid from nokia, not a porsche with a moped engine.

I love my nokia 5, i've being used it for 3 months, there is no trouble after all and no lag.
oh maybe i used the 3GB ram variant, so it's smooth

This phone isn't the fastest. About 30% of the time there are delays between tapping something and an action occurring. But it's performance isn't a laggy mess or anything. It's actually pretty good. It's not incredibly snappy but gaming, editing and pretty much every task runs well without any lag. The camera takes a second or so to open up though.

Honestly it's pretty slow overall, I'm pretty disappointed. Sometimes it seems like it's almost ok, but sometimes it can really become painfully sluggish.

Lags when unlocking with fingerprint, but otherwise quite snappy. Lag is hardly noticeable and once it happens once, it wont happen for a while after. this is for the 2gb variant
8/10

There is absolutely nothing I can throw at this phone to slow it down. With 4GB of LPPDDR4X RAM, this phone is a Monster. The 835 chip powering a 5" 1080p screen is a great combination. Easily future proof for the next 3 years in Google's ecosystem. Now we just have to hope that 3rd part app developers keep optimizing for Android.

It's stutters from time to time.

It's the fastest phone I've ever used. With 2.45Ghz big cores , clean Android and 4GB of RAM it does everything action basically instantly

Stock android... i love it.
Its so incredibly smooth and fast. Never had any performance issues.

Scrolling smoothness

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 OnePlus 5T 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".

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
