Maybe its the first day for slowness but the speaker issue is alarming.

 

Mine flys....

 

I have my VZW N4 and have used the G3. The N4 is fast and that is with the bloat and not turning stuff off yet. The G3 is a battery sucking, hot running, throttling thang' compared to the N4.

 

is the bloat not part of the user manuel list?

 

Speaker is okay, but not terrible and not one review has described that way. Usual Samsung special.

 

I feel where you are coming from... i wouldnt call it slow, just not iphone 6 quick.. in terms of touch and screen scrolling.. there is just that slight bit of lag thats just enough to annoy you.. also when opening some apps, and having to tap things more then ounce a lot.. idk lol it has to have to do with all the shit they pack in this thing lol..

 

Other then that bit of lag though i think the phone wins every other category, speaker on the back was stupid as well

 

I am way out of the loop.... but I thought you were cancelling your order?? What changed??

 

Mine is Exynos edition and I play LG G3 before, I can assure it is ahead performance than G3 when in stock without remove/disable any apps.

 

I've got the Exynos and it rocks. Not upset about the sound either. Battery is rubbish (flat by 6 with heavy use/photos etc) so waiting for a slightly bigger one to be released. In the meantime bought a charger kit.

 

Trying it out three days and seeing if the card issues impact my apps. Some devs updated and said the issue is corrected.

Must admit the size is bugging me. Nice device, but the size is bugging me. Also not sure about battery life, but will hold opinion for now.

One word I would not describe the device is "slow".


Added:

Just to make sure I am not going nuts, I have not found one review stating significant lag on the Note 4, but find many stating lag issues on the G3. The G3 is Nickleback and the N4 is Led Zeppelin.

 

^your phone must be fubbared. Mines instant to the touch.
Must admit having the tab s I was almost dreading the note 4 lag but there just is none.

 

I don't see what all this lag stuff is...my n4 seems zipper than my n3. If you don't like it take it back. Battery life so far is way better than the n3. You have to learn how to use the thing. Turn off or Uninstall apps you don't need or are battery hogs. I like it!

 

Please show me one review from a credible media source stating the device is slow like you say. As far as the G3, reviews have pointed out it does lag where the N4 does not. Even the G3 lag is not a lot and more to do with the display/gpu throttling that Anandtech went into detail about. The UI lags because it is in Qhd resolution and the 801 is at its ceiling with that res content. The 805 on the other hand was designed for Qhd.

 

My experience with both phones side by side - the speaker on the G3 is not better than the N4. Loudness is comparable - but I the N4's speaker seems to have more dynamic range than the one in the G3. I also don't experience slowness with the N4 at all - nor do I feel that the G3 is slow either. One noticeable thing where the N4 is much faster than the G3 is when you are zooming in and out in the camera app.

However, one thing that bugs the hell out of me on the G3 is that I find the screen to be far less responsive than the N4 or any of my Samsung phones. This is the first LG I've ever owned, and I am not impressed with responsiveness of the touch screen.

 

Those saying Note 4 slow means iPhone 6 plus slow like hell. I test both side by side. Note 4 opening apps 99% of it faster than iPhone 6 plus a second or two.

Saying G3 smoother than Note 4 is proofing possible never own the device but just troll.

 

The G3 is a slow mess beside my Note 4. My Note 4 is considerably faster and smoother and had a consistent frame rate Vs my G3.Im OCD about lag too and the G3 drives me mad!

 

OP, have you enabled developer mode and turned off animations? The reason TW seems to lag is because of all the cheesy animations, plus it's waiting to see if you're actually going to do a long press for home screen settings so it waits for a second or two. I wish there was a way to disable that as well since we can get to that by pinching the home screen!!
