Just picking up this phone today and i cant help but feel annoyed by the amount of lag this phone has compared to my (stock rom) i9100 SII. Slight lag switching homescreens and the lag is definitely noticeable in the web browser... Pinch to zoom and stuff isnt nearly as smooth on this thing.
the browser isnt anywhere near as smooth as it was on my i9100. Any of you guys exprience these same issues? is it normal for this phone considering it has a lesser processor than the exynos?
Again not meaning to start a flame war just comparing the differences to the phone i already own and wondering if anyone else here feels the same way ?.
Otherwise i really love the .2 inches of screen size!
Trust me weve heard it before .

I haven't experienced an noticeable lag but then again i've never used the original with the exynos processor. It's still the fastest phone i've ever owned. It kills the g2x which was my first dualcore. I'm currently trying to roundup $, convince myself and making excuses to get the international galaxy nexus.

Hey op, I came from the i9100 as well and know EXACTLY what you're talking about... unless you've used it long term, you don't know what your missing. Now for the fix, you need to flash BeastMod 2.5.... its a cyan colored ROM... IMHO it is the best ROM around here to help me not regret my decision to switch. I here jugs and bomb are as good as well. Its the difference in processor power... most people see 1.2 vs. 1.5 and think 1.5 is better... not here, Exynos 1.2 runs laps around this 1.5 phone... anyway, with a little Modding, you can be happy, I promise. If you need any help, let me know. I have the entire i9100 app collection if you are missing something special (screen adjustment wont work). Oh, the new BM2.5's kernel can be left alone, its great...

and just for reference, no even on stock ROM the phone is very fluid, everything non stock is just icing on top. as in flashing just for the kick of having some fun, but it's not necessary to flash any of the Custom ROMs to make the phone faster
just remove all the bloatware that came preloaded with, and you'll be fine

Your phone was hardware accelerated aka the Exynos processor utilizing GPU resources.
The t989 hasn't gotten the appropriate GPU drivers but I'm sure the next ICS update should help fix things up nicely.
Keep your eyes peeled
yay
I've used both in person, and I know what he is talking about... the previous poster talking about the gpu acceleration is spot on. the international version is butter smooth at scrolling in the web browser, where ours isn't quite as quick. However... using bullet kernel it is getting very close! and once again, if ICS uses our hardware properly for hardware acceleration, we should be better off. Our hardware overall is slightly quicker than the exynos versions. See:

I'm afraid this is simply because you own the t989 and not the i9100. Anybody that has ever used them side by side will tell you there is a world of difference in the fluidness of operation. I love my t989 now that IV modded it but when I pulled it out of the box after using the i9100 for months I considered it unusable to my standards. I know this hurts people's feelings who have spent their hard earned money on a device and are commuted to the idea that THEIRS is the best but until you use them side by side, there isn't an artical on the planet that will convince me they are anywhere near equal. That being said, I stick by my first post, with a good rom from here, you can make the t989 *almost* as fluid as the i9100.

The international version never choked or stutterred playing modern combat 2.....
It was better and quicker but this is almost as good.
The main difference is hardware accelrration and gpu performance in games
I used the original for 3 months before getting this

The international is 1.2 ghz and you can't overclock to 1.5 cuz it will overheat.

Why do people that had a i9100, saying it's better than the 989, currently own a 989?
why change to something inferior? (in your eyes)
Note: I never owned a i9100. Coming from a BB Torch, i can assure you the 989 is like a ferrari for me..
Because the i9100 is not compatible with Tmobile. If out were I would still have it.
I refuser to pay the att price for a smartphone plan
I was using an att Dumb phone plan with unlimited data, buy I wanted high speed data. So this was my only option, if I wanted to be able to enjoy fast data like everyone else
Data spotted on art dumb phone plan was about 1 Mg/s on a good day
The phone was a monster, especially with hardware acceleration, and was able to run the most demanding games free of lag.
If you don't play games, no big deal
but better graphics and processing power was a plus
I could go crazy mindlessly opening apps , switching windows like a mad man and it won't even give you one hiccup
This phone is right behind it tho

i've played with the i9100 before i returned it back to the store, as it was not AWS compatible
both phones feels the same in stock, you'll only notice the difference after OC
the i9100 gets hot quickly at 1.5
i like the bigger larger screen of the T989 more
T989 is much better than I9100, not only screen size, but CPU and chip set as well

I'm with T-Mobile... that's why. Its not crazy inferior .. the i9100 is simply slightly better in my opinion (and in benchmarks). I too enjoy the bigger screen... to bad its a jacked up piece of crap bigger screen.... but hopefully supercurio fixes it for us! You always will have this when you say another phone is better in the lesser phones forums.. but I own a t989 and love it... I owned the i9100 and loved it to... on a side note, I oced my i9100 a week after I got it and had it for months and it never felt even remotely warm... I'm not sure why people are saying that.. maybe some did, but not mine... but let's say it did get warm.. as long as the screen doesn't have discoloration, lines, and blobs, and its the fastest phone to date, who cares if it gets warm? I can think of a billion other things that would make me trash a phone before that.. kind of a silly point to try to make. But all joking aside, I really enjoy the t989 and can live with the minor discrepancies, just like I have with every other phone IV ever owned. Its a great phone, just like all the other sgs2s out there.

I honestly believe that the inferior performance in the launcher and browser are due to inefficient code rather than any hardware discrepancy. The Adreno 220 is far, far more than powerful enough to hardware accelerate the entire UI/UI animations at a constant 60FPS.
I used a i9100 in Taiwan a while ago, before any variant came out in the US. I can definitely vouch for daddymatt's comments. Debloated and supercharged, it runs much smoother. Enough to the point where the difference isn't really noticeable if you aren't directly looking for it. Still, I'm quite angry with T-Mo's decision to ditch the Exynos for the Snapdragon chip. I'd rather have slower download speeds than worse performance - no one's entire smartphone experience consists of nothing but web browsing.
The screen issues are annoying as well - This is the best phone on T-Mobile, but the fact that it could be so much better makes me peeved.
I'm hoping the ICS update can correct these issues.

Qualcomm decided to use one system bus most likely to save money. While it is still good due to asynchronous processers. The gpu has to wait most likely milliseconds for the cpu. A scheduler is required to organize the traffic by assigning frequencies and priorities to each signal. By in no means is it worst performance other than benchmarks and on paper. Your running android any software optimized around the processor enough the difference wouldn't be noticeable. The other processors i think(don't hold me to that) have two system bus. Even the old second gen scorpions had two which was a complete waste of the money but made them on top for various reasons.
you mustve picked up a bad t989 and a really good i9100
my friend had one of those international versions, let me tell ya..it took exactly 20seconds to zoom into a picture..and his phone was heating up..

that's a bit far fetched, they are about at par with each other, tech spec wise the I9100 is a tad bit better, but in real life performance as far as us human are concerned, it feels the same.
except when OC-ed, then you'll notice some significant difference on either phone depending on which custom ROM you use.

If I remember correctly the Evo had a frame rate lock. Even if it didn't does any one know if its being looked into as a mod to have it removed? The quadrent scores will probably be greatly effected since almost all the videos stay right at 60fps. Lets uncork this bad boy and let it run free any info on it I would live to hear. Mahalo, Wayne

I don't think it is locked in the same sense that the Evo4G was actually capped. While my FPS2D scores are typically dead-on at 60 it bursts as high as 65 at times, the EVO4G did no such thing.
God, thanks for reminding me of that...that was so frustrating. Especially HTC's response.

what made the response so funny was as they were claiming it couldnt be done, it was already done and made them look STUPID(er)!!!
It's more than likely software capped much like the original Epic.
So that means that in theory it can be uncorked by a a dev some how I hope
It was done on the mesmerize/fascinate with the Glitch kernel. Upped the fps cap to 65 from 60. It might be worth investigating...

A critical eye viewing in from the outside might see this as some sort of disaster of a phone...but I don't experience any of this at all, and for some of those items quite the opposite. There are always issues to be worked out when you get a phone on/right after release...that is ALWAYS to be expected...and always remember that the vast majority who are pleased and not having problems typically won't say anything at all...
Personally I don't know about this frame-rate lock...if we can go faster, by all means...but...60 is pretty damned good, though ~65 solid (with a low stdev) would be phenomenal. Someone always crawls out of the woodwork to point out that the human eye isn't capable blah blah blah much above 24fps anyway....but....when I flashed netarchy's kernel on my NS4G and my FPS went from ~60 to ~65 I noticed it right away and it was amazing....so, I won't say so much that it is capped as much as it could be tweaked to go higher. 60fps really is pretty damned good.

In the history of cell phones no phone has ever been perfect. There are always have been and always will be something to complain about with each and every new phone that comes out. They are made by humans and used by humans. That means some problems may be build / design / software / or user error.
That being said this the GSII is the number one phone in the world as of right now.

Amen!
Nothing is and will ever be perfect. That's just the way it is. This happens with cars , houses, other electronics and software and so on...There is always something what "could have been better" or different. Especially when they first come out.
I understand it can be frustrating, however we sometimes need to understand that the complexity of devices nowadays inevitably lead to some flaws. Hopefully they will fix this soon.
As far as the framerate cap goes...I hope no dev is going to take time to change this especially when we have other more important things they could invest their time in.
60fps is BUTTERY SMOOTH and the GS2 does a very good job of hitting that mark most of the time in most apps and games as opposed to 99% of the devices out there that can't. Why waste time on lifting it? So you can score higher Quadrant scores? Completely pointless!
We need apps that utilize the dual cores and gpu, efficiently.
I don't think we are capped because I have seen a few bursts of 70 in quadrant. I think we need to utilize the hardware we have fully, then worry about what may or may not be limited.

When you superhuman eye can see more than 60fps, lemme know. FYI, movies in the theater play at 24.
I just think it would be nice to have the cap removed ... we are all here to tweak our phones and mod them which is really fun to do! Just something fun that I would like to see happen. Perdormance is amazing and butter already and this is the best phone out right now. I don't actually have a single complaint about it! Just like modding and tweaking

heat issues = It's not really an issue at all. It gets barely hot, unless you're device is malfunctioned in which case you should return it
iffy battery = where the hell did you read this? If you're talking about the OS consumption at 50%+ then thats a lemon and needs to be returned. hence why only a very small percentage of people are having this problem
crummy radio/wifi = it's not on par with photon for example, but it's good enough, and not a deal breaker at all. I get 2-3 bars of 4g everywhere I go. As for as wifi I have no use for because like I said, i get 4g everywhere so I have no need for wifi.
apps/games = again, most likely a lemon, and needs to be returned
screen on delay = caused by sd card, and even though its annoying at times, its still not a deal breaker
fps lock = pretty sure it's not an fps lock. afaik most if not all android phones are stuck at 60fps. Also i'm pretty sure your og evo was locked at 30fps and you still bought it.
most of the things you described are bugs, and need to be returned to sprint. Phones are mass assembled and some of them will have these bugs, thats why you have a 14 day window to return the phone if you experience any problems.

This is exactly what I would've said, except the game/apps closing out thing is a legit problem (just not a big one). my gameboid emulator drops out randomly, but my snesoid emulator works just fine. I have a feeling that's a compatibility issue, but i'm also known for blowing smoke up people's asses
malibu, you need to understand that we on xda represent a minority of phone owners. Therefore, if it's a "hot topic" here, I can guarantee you that more than 50% of the owners of this phone have no freaking idea what you're talking about. Therefore, you cannot call any of these issues "hot issues" except LOS because LOS is like puberty...it'll eventually happen to everyone unless they're freaks.
If you don't wanna upgrade to this phone, that's fine, but please go bother the people in the forum of the phone you do plan on buying. Thanks!
As for this 60 fps lock....hmmmm
I don't think so
I just got my Nexus yesterday (from Negri Electronics) and comparing it to my SGSII:
Nexus is rooted and I've installed CWM - otherwise "stock" ICS
SGSII is running CheckROM RevolutionHD 3.1.1
Quadrant Standard for SGN is 1891 v. SGSII is 3648! - any idea why the SGSII is so much better?
Speedtest (with both phones sitting next to each other) is SGN 4.573UP & 1.554 down (H+) and SGSII is 4.634UP and 1.639 down - pretty much the same even after a couple of tries.
While I'm loving ICS and the better screen resolution, I'm having a hard time letting go of my SGSII. When you exclude the screen space used for the "virtual" buttons on the SGN, you are left with essentially the same size screen on both units. Also, even though the SGN is really only a little bit taller than the SGSII, it really (IMHO) makes a difference.
This is going to be tough. Any reason why the quadrant performance is so much better on the SGSII?
Who cares. Quadrant doesn't mean ****. Use the one you like better.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
Well ICS uses the GPU for acceleration in its apps. Perhaps ICS is dedicating a chunk.
Benchmarks are useless anyway. Our G2xs can be modded to read over 7000.
You also need the SGSII on ICS for any decent comparison.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Really? You compare phones by quadrant results?
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
well, what feels better/faster to you?
Quadrant doesn't matter. Does the phone perform the way you want it to? Is it smooth? Then who cares?
If bragging about quadrant scores is that important to you then keep our SGSII.
For starters you're comparing a mostly stock phone to a phone with a rom that's been optimized to run better. You're also using a benchmark that hasn't even been updated for 4.0 yet. When the NS came out you had to run it 5-10 times before it finally finished and gave you a meaningless score since it wasn't updated to run on 2.3 at the time. And let's not forget, it has to render the graphics at nearly double the resolution of the SGS2. Give the phone time to stretch its legs, it'll show you how good it is. Besides, benchmarks really only good for posting screenshots on online message boards.

Quadrant doesn't even run both cores correctly. Besides that, the GS2 has better CPU/GPU. However, it doesn't have the screen or, the developer support that the GN will have. Personally, Id have a hard time shelling out the cash for a GN if I already had a GS2...
That being said, I'd never consider getting rid of my GN for a GS2 if that makes sense.

so you using the phone doesn't matter? You would prefer what a software that hasn't been updated in over six months to tell you which is better?

If bragging about quadrant scores is that important to you then keep our SGSII.

nexus is flying machine! and even with revolution HD
there is no lag, no delay... everything is blazing fast! and i had SGS2 running cognition...and i can tell without any benchmark that it was not as fast as GN is!
remember this is pure android - vanila - and its need some time to get over developers that will make it even faster. and once SGS2 will be running ICs we can do a reall test. but at this stage any results are pointless mate.
Why did you buy the Galaxy Nexus if you want the best benchmark results?
If i had an SGS2 then the only reason to buy the GN is ICS and the design (maybe NFC too), you dont buy it for the specs obviously.
Before someone chimes in about the GNEX camera sucking, it really doesn't. It may not be as good as the SGSII (I owned it, so I know) but it's perfectly serviceable for a phone.
Took today while on a hike...
It's obviously compressed so I could attach it. The original file is crystal clear.
The Samsung Galaxy S II has a significantly better SoC than the Galaxy Nexus. It is no surprise than the Galaxy Nexus doesn't hold a candle to it in benchmarks.
Why am i having deja vu? Of deja vu? Lame thread. And lame comparison.

Quadrant scores don't matter due to the fact that you have to compare the two devices using the same rom. once ICS is on the SGS2 then there will be a comparable quadrant score.
But can't wait till I get my hands on SGN in a few days

I don't really know where you get off saying that...
The SoC isn't really any better. And consider that the GN also is running underclocked.
Anandtech Article
That should really say it all.
Also, chiming in to say that benchmarks like Quadrant really don't mean much overall. Keep the phone if you like it.
Wow! A lot of responses. Thanks to those who helped me understand the differences between the phones. I've only had the SGN for a little more than 24 hours so don't yet have an opinion on one over the other in day2day use. Love the screen resolution on SGN and ICS in general though hard to find anything to not like about the SGS2. Hopefully future ROMs & enhancements will make the differences even more pronounced. Usually my "old" phone goes right on sale as soon as I've configured the new one. In the case of SGN v SGS2, I think I'll keep the SGS2 for awhile longer ...
ugh....so many clueless pointless remarks and evidence to back their comments.
To the person that said the SGS2 doesn't have the type of developer community the GN has. You do realize the SGS2 has the largest developer backing of any phone right? It's larger than the Nexus etc...Galaxy phones have always had large developer community and backing since the original one came out and its not changing I wouldn't really worry about one having a larger community than the other as they are both going to be huge.
The Galaxy Nexus is more of a side upgrade than a complete full upgrade (thats what the SGS III is for).
Galaxy Nexus has advantage of vanilla 4.0 ICS and a larger 720P screen that also performs better than the SAMOLED + on the SGS II.
CPU - might as well toss it up as a tie, the TI OMAP has some things that make it favorable for ICS
GPU - no competition the MALI destroys the older SGX 540 even if it is over clocked.
Camera - the SGS II is better but it doesn't really matter, the 5MP on the GN takes fine shots and really you should be using a point and shoot or DSLR if you want real photos.
Quandrant is not a good way to see what phone is faster since its become really pointless lately and can be cheated. It's also not updated for 4.0 ICS as others have stated making the scores even more pointless.
But yea, don't really see the point at all of dishing out $700 for a GN if someone already has an SGS 2.
SGS 2 on ICS will likely be faster than the GN though just due to the MALI GPU and exynos being probably one of the fastest clock for clock. And initial benchmarks from the Galnet ICS show the SGS 2 getting some better scores on things like sunspider but they're close enough.
I have tested both the Galaxy Nexus and the T-Mobile S2. The Nexus is worlds apart better.
I saw the review of the ics gs2 and at the end i saw some benchmarks... on the cpu side the nexus seems to hold its own againts the xperia s which on paper has a faster cpu snapdragon 3 1.5Ghz compare to omap 4460 1.2.. also gs2 seems to be slightly slower in the cpu benchmarks compared to Gnex....

gs2 is surely faster on graphics (it has a more advanced gpu, though clocked slower), but it has less screen resolution.
on the cpu side they should be pretty equivalent.
i don't know about the xperia.
In real world usage my SGS2 was significantly faster than my GNEX in every department barring taking a picture.
I wouldn't trust that much on benchmarks.
What matters is how polished the stock roms are for each device.
I love how the nexus keep running smooth even after installing a ton of apps, never experienced the same with other devices.
While the MSM8260 (Xperia S) is clocked faster, it has a single channel memory interface while the TI-OMAP 4460 (Galaxy Nexus) has a dual channel interface.
Also beware of those benchmark tools. Most of them are crap. For example they use the phone's resolution to do 2D/3D benchmark which is not a fair way to compare.

Was it significantly faster in getting updates?
Benchmarks are cool in a sense, but I've started ignoring them. My GNex has been really fast, even with Window and Transition Animations. There are exceptions. I ABUSE my Android devices with heat (nature of my work environment). When it gets hot, it does lag. At the same time, the CPU is also scaling itself back. When I get the rare lock'n'reboot it's pretty much always due to heat. Typically, flinging through settings, menus, apps, etc is really fast. Right now I have wireless tethering on and I'm streaming audio through Tune In. My battery is almost 120F. It's slower. Any device would be. If I pick up my Nook running CM7, it'll be slower right now too due to heat.
Benchmarks mean very little to me now. I mean, what's the point? What are you gonna do, brag about a superficial number? Get it engraved on your belt buckle? I think they can be an indication of certain aspects of a device, but benchmarks do not necessarily tell someone what kind of user experience that device is going to provide.
If I pick up my favorite device and I can do what I want to do quickly and smoothly then I'm fine with it. Even OCing a high end device is something I've never been able to tell a difference with. Now my Nook, yeah, an overclock worked wonders. On the GNex, pish, nah. Remember too, a lot of these 1.5Ghz devices are pushing a bloated framework too. Beyond that, ICS is going to have it's own limitations, especially when it has bugs to get worked out.
It can kinda be like cramming 16GB's of Ram into a PC running 32 bit Windows 7. The hardware addition is irrelevant and while you can brag about 16 gigs of ram to all of your friends, it's a pointless feature of your system.
one thing for sure is that software optimization means much more than hardware differences between those 3 phones.
thus, it depends on what you're going to run: stock, aosp, cyanogen, miui? that's the question.

We've had a pretty stable CM9 for the i9100 for quite a while now. But it still can't compare to the Galaxy Nexus....can't wait for mine to come
Just swapped over from the t989 gs2. The nexus is much smoother. We were always telling ourselves that our phones were better because of the supposedly better hardware... There were many threads Lol. Now that I have it I can see the experience doesn't even compare. Never buying anything touchwiz again
I just want to know if anyome can explain why when running antutu benchmarks I cant even get scores equal to the score the app says I should be getting for this phone let alone better ones. Infact I often get much worse scores not even close to what it says I should be getting. Even more so Im running custom rom with overclocked kernel and its just sad. When u look to see what your device other are gettibg score wise there is like a major difference. I get like 10,000 to like 14,000. Iv tried using set cpu to make it run better with no success. And I tried using the app that came with the kernel to make it better by changing some settings and still nothing. It seems like nothibg I do can even get me scores that the phone should get as an average let alone better ones even when overclocked and such.
Sent from my Note II
Funny you should post this...
I was angonizing over my scores a month or so ago, and was not getting scores even close to what I expected.
The tests made me so mad I gave up and went stock...LOL
Benchmarks are affected by soooooo many variables within the OS, they are often considered eye wash for speed related results.
The rom you run, the kernel, modem, background processing, data, wifi....blah blah blah....LOL
You see where I'm going with this ??
Stock TW based builds always run the best for me, and give the best scores...(remember, they dont mean much really).....really
If your device runs well, gets good battery life, and you are happy with the choice in roms you have made, then dont worry about antutu, or anything else.
Raw scores are called raw for a reason, as they are base estimates of a perceived result.
True testing of a device must be done under a set of rules only a factory can measure.....IMHO, and unless the devices being tested are paired "EXACTLY" the same, then the comparisons are flawed anyway......at least thats how i see it.....g
I understand that and I know how it affects but its more of a I do notice when my phone is quick or not and the scores usually reflect that. When I had my optimus g with it running alot more crap I was gettibg betyer scores and it wasnt overclocked and all that it was just stock. So I really believe that it should be running better than its showing leaving me to believe that there is somethibg wrong with the kernel or something. I have done this with quite a few devices and there usualky a noticeable difference from stock to overclocked scores. But with this phone seems like it dosent show on this phone.
Sent from my Note II
Very possible. ..
Most reports for this quad core tell us that overclocking takes the device a bit backward in speed and performance.
I overclocked for a few weeks, and saw no appreciable performance gains.
The end result for me was a stock variant rom and a stock kernel.
I then gained transition speeds with launcher changes.
Nova launcher, with the transition speeds set to maximum is quite impressive. And graphical transitions were running best at stock speeds.
I might get flamed for this, but I would honestly say that with minor UI adjustment, and stock kernels, this device needs very little if any real change at all to achieve the best performance.
Mileage will vary, but I'm staying rooted stock with a custom launcher.
Everything else seems to drag this device down. ..g
My real main issie is with gaming on the decice I notice glitching and slowness quite often and I just feel jipped. It is quad core 2gb of ram why is it so ****. I had the optimus g and it was amazing I only went to this phone for the screen size.

It's been said that our note 2 is a bit lacking with the current GPU...although, a GPU overclock may help you the most, while leaving the CPU alone.
I've not tried any GPU modifications, unless the Roms I've used included them without my knowledge....g
I did try and overclock the gpu and I get vaired results I havent tried playing any of my graphically intense games yet so im not sure but I believe it may have slightly helped. Its too bad I had thought that the mali chip was better than the 330 thats in most high end phones now.

Thats just too bad. Maybe the note 3 will run nicer. Although if they do indeed increase the screen size again I dont think I will be abke to handle it so for my sake I hope it stays similar in size. This phone is about as big as im going to want.

Oh I totally agree. I guess I only notice any thing because that optimus g blew me away. Considering I had previously had a htc vivid and a galaxy nexus as the best phones and so the optimus was amazing.

Oh yes iv read plenty about the g pro and it does sound nice iv thought about trying to trade the note for it. But I then remember the reasons I wanted the note instead. Its the dev comunity and the work that gets done. There was the boringist stuff going on over there. And plus it seems like the samsung devices hold value better and juat plane better ui than lg.

To be honest benckmarks do matter but only if you really understand them and know how to use them. Im not just someone who sees **** score or awesome scores an decides anything. But the scores do matter. If u took a droid x and ran benchmarks and got **** scores and then ran this not you would see a difference. They matter just if you choose to see it. I know many many people who try and try to convince others that benchmarks dont matter when all a benckmark is is a test of the hardware and if u use the same program on different devices you will note the different qualitys in the scores. Showing you the pieces of hardware or software mostky hardware that is better or worse. Like with the mali vs the 330. Or the quad s4 vs I forget what is in this device. Or an amd vs a intel. They show what does what best. If you know what you are doing.

I don't believe in benchmarks. I can run antutu and get xyz score, then run it again 10 seconds later and get abc score, then run it again 10 seconds late and lmn score, all to varying degrees. It's a gimmick.

If the scores vary drastically its probably because of the background services and apps doing things. Sometimes there is less sometimes more. U either take that into account or you do it with a fresh phone with nothibg on it. Including no google account. Just sideload the app and then run the test and do it a few times they should be more similar.

Regardless of scores. .. and considering the drastically different user habits, I do believe Samsung found excellent balance in both form and function with this device.
To add more power would kill battery. And drive the device size even larger.
I do feel they have a great balance here.
The note3 should become an absolute power phone if they build from this base....IMHO....g

You're going to get different opinions from everyone based on phone they're coming from. I personally came from the One X...here are my 2 pennies.
- Heat: Waaaaaaaay less heat than my One X. You could seriously cook spam off the back of my phone. While playing some of these new games, my phone would shut off due to the heat. This phone will get "warm" but I've noticed that it has calmed down quite a bit after the second day. I also have a case on there so it may retain some heat as well. As soon as some custom roms/kernels get made I'm sure this will go away.
TL;DR: I wouldn't worry about heat.
-Performance: I noticed the lag that everyone mentioned but I just kept with it and let the phone settle. There is hardly any lag. Compared to a phone that was 2 years old, this thing flies.
-Battery: I haven't really cared what the battery is doing just yet. I'm always playing games, streaming music, talking on it...you know, doing everything I bought it for; the battery hasn't bothered me yet, so that's gotta be a good sign. I'm letting this settle and then I'll really analyze this. But until kernels are built for the phone, I could care less.
Summary: Yes, this phone was worth waiting out my dreaded AT&T contract, waiting for it to become available from T-Mobile. I have played with all the newest phones (s5, M8, OPO) and this is the winner.
Buy it now.
No issues here. Great upgrade from the Nexus 5 for someone looking for a better camera and larger screen.
Got mine on the 11th and I'm very pleased to say that this is the first device in about the last 6 or 7 that I'm liking very much right out of the box! Don't get me wrong I already have my root apps and installs already planned out, but very good device. No heat (using Velis Auto Brightness App), no noticeable lag, battery has been pretty good (depending on use) and so far worth the money! Haven't seen any of the problems/issues others are/have been reporting either. Coming from SuperAmoled screen on my S4, this screen is quite dim but with some tweaks in the Velis app's brightness curve all is well.

Heat? Not much hotter than any of my other devices I've used, it does get pretty warm while it's on the charger and I'm doing more intensive things, but as a whole heat is a non issue for me. Even playing Asphalt 8 my G2 would heat up way more and would throttle after about 2 stages.
Performance? A little disappointed actually. Out of the box the phone lags and microstutters quite a bit. Most noticeable with animations and switching between apps. Reminds me of the Galaxy S4 which I hated because of those nagging issues. I tried a few things, turning off animations in dev options, switching to ART runtime, trying other launchers, Nova and Apex.
All those things help speed things up, but all have their drawbacks. It's disappointing because you shouldn't have to sacrifice stability or lose functionality to get a smooth running device out of the box. I can see how some owners coming from older devices might view the G3 as a speed demon but I'm coming from an HTC One M8 which is the paragon of Android smoothness, on par with an iOS device if not better. Here's hoping a software update will smooth things up, I remember my G2 was much quicker after each subsequent software update.
Battery life is okay, doesn't seem to match my old G2 which I always thought was amazing. Seems to be on par with my HTC One M8. Nothing spectacular but I gotta give it credit for the removable battery.
Worth every penny? The design is gorgeous, the screen is breathtaking with the right content. 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and top of the line SOC at the moment for $599? Yes it's worth every penny. If LG optimized the software a bit more and toned down the oversharpening crap on the screen, it would be VERY hard for me to find something else to take it's place in my pocket.

I guess. Maybe if you're someone that buys flagship phones every six months, you'll notice it more. Like coming from a rooted Nexus 5 or M8.
I upgraded from a Galaxy S III. I had that phone for about 2 years so the jump is huge for me compare to that. Even then, I feel the G3 is just as responsive as my Nexus 7. Which i find great considering how many nice features this phone has. Its not barebone like a Nexus.
The lag is definitely there , I disable most settings and apps plus enable art . Much better but not as smooth as the nexus 5 . But is expected with the heavy skin from LG the S5 is the same way

You should I would like to see it because as hard as I try I see no lag.
There's definitely lag I was just testing it out at the store just playing around with it opening apps and such.and literally after 2 mins of playing with it. 3 or 4 stutters blew me off
I came from the One M8, Nexus 5 and currently using it along with One Plus One. One thing I noticed after using it for couple of days is it feels very wide compared to other phones. Kind of not a good experience if you are a heavy user and use the phone a lot. Gets little hot compared to other recent phones. Display is good, text is little over sharpened and auto brightness tends to be on the darker side. Performance wise does a decent job but not as good as One plus One or the M8. Camera is definitely better than other android phone I have used recently.
Overall you will be happy if you come from a older device, if you are changing from recent flagship you won't be blown away.
I have enabled art and disabled thermal throttling and it flies. Maybe not the safest method but meh
Out of the box, no lag or screen issues that folks have been complaining about. Coming from a Nexus 5 I'm not a big fan of skins so I threw Nova on. 13 hrs in and I'm sitting at 51% on my battery. I'm really digging this phone.
