Just because it's running 625.
Yes it is very fast with combination of SD 625 and 4 GB ram.
Coming from an Oneplus 5 it's OK. But of course Not near as fast
Overall it's very smooth and there are no lags anywhere.
At the same time it's slower than my almost 4 years old Nexus 5 I know I shouldn't have expected much from SnapDragon 625 but I hoped that it would beat SnapDragon 800. Not really. Singlethreaded performance is quite lower while multithreaded is obviously higher.
It is superb.. With few tweaks, 625 merged with stock starts performing at its best..
Can this run assassin's creed identity or galaxy on fire 3?

What tweaks please?
File manager.
From body to its camera, this phone is superb. But I've an issue/concern that I'm unable to find file manager to locate files, photos,videos from the phone(like usually other phone has a separate file manager in menu to view). only after downloading few apps for photos, videos and files I'm able to view them. Please help me with details how to locate those files, photos, songs and videos without those downloaded app.
Please contact: [email protected]
Like it so far. Just switched from HTC One X (endeavoru).
Able to play Honkai Impact 3 with recommended settings.
Updated to December 2017 update. A bit laggy on the keyboard typing at times.
as long as there is a little space in the internal storage the phone works fine.........like 10 gigs or more......should that reduce then there is slight lag....almost negligible
It is very fast phone, if you use that is a little SD 625 under the hood. But, thanks to great Android One, and regular updates, to take and keep MiA1 smooth.

So far so good. It's fun to use this phone. Really liked it.

I didn't lagged a single time since i have it. Playing 3D games smooth, rendering desktop version of web pages (my last phone went crazy each time I tried that), multitasking, editing documents, no problems so far. FP scanner speed is good. Camera could load faster but still better than my Samsung.
Oh is good, 8.75/10 from me.
It's a 5/10 for me. It's works well enough considering the price of <200$ - but it's nowhere near as smooth as a Galaxy S7 or similar ~2 year old flagship phones. Don't buy this and expect the same performance!
It's okay for my use. It helps a lot the stock system.
For me this device have good speed for normal daily use. Have no lag at all. 8/10

Hi Guys,
I made a video comparing the G2 with Samsung's current flagship the Galaxy Note 3.
Hope its of use to anyone trying to decide between these 2....

Very well done. Subscribed! :thumbup:

Hey I just watched the video it's good but not great honestly!
In fact there are tons of similar videos on youtube and to be honest your video didn't give me even a slight new info that i didn't know before.
As a fellow XDAian I waited (and I hope you consider this as a request) for some real life comparison of performance:
-both phones turned off and turned on at the same time to see which is quicker and also is smoother to operate once booted.
-free RAM 1 or 2 minutes after the boot with no apps already launched till that moment
(Of course both phones should be Factory Restore or at least running exactly same apps)
-start for example running apps one after the other at the same time on both phones to see which runs the app first.
Say contacts, then messages, then chrome and a certain website, then camera, then facebook, twitter, g+, whatsapp , viber, etc... Also playing a game would be good
All of that just by pressing home button and without clearing the memory (closing all apps)
Likewise we can see real life performance.
-Now also without clearing memory we go to settings/apps/running to see the amount of free RAM on each phone.
-Now we go to recent apps and open say Contacts app or messages app to see which phone is still opening this app and which one closed it.
This is for RAM performance.
-For all the above let both phones start at 100% and after this 5 or 10 intense minutes, we can see the battery percentage on each phone to get an idea about real life battery performance.
Honestly I am VERY torn between these 2 beats while my heart says G2 and my brain says Note 3. For that reason this is what i would like to see in a comparison not a quick overview: i wanna know real CPU and RAM performance.
Thanks again and excuse my honesty

You don't need a video to show all of that. I have both right in front of me and the Note 3 opens everything faster for some reason. It's just a faster and smoother device IMO.

Don't get me wrong but you don't need a video because you have both but I have none.
Besides perhaps the G2 version you have has issues or something.
It is always better to have a video and let it speak for itself. Besides we might have different judgement / opinion on a given issue. Let the spectator be the judge
Thanks for your feedback anyways! I appreciate it!

RAM Management is quite poor
Same issue with ram management but i have managed to get better performance with CM !
Lags from time to time
emui sucks
ahahahah
Poor ram management, app startup is not that good, emui4 made this ram management even poor. Wish this phone came with near stock android
Snapdragon really does the job. A perfect SoC for it's prize.
'Gets the job done'
I love the speed. Overall it's pretty smooth.
Moderate and no lag whatsoever. Still doing well after 18 months of usage.

Yeah I dont know whats wrong with huawei.why they cant manage a ram better.....
All they did in mm just add 500mb zram..:laugh:
Really good after a few hours of reboot. Some lags after that.
its fine..ram managemnt kills its performance
Custom ROM have way better speeds than EMUI.
Performance is very good running on stock or custom rom
It's not the fastest phone on the market, but it can definitely surprise you by the overall smoothness in mono-thread. In multi thread, EMUI kills the 3rd app launched. It reminds me of the Jelly bean era with low end phones...
And I found something even more interesting : as a mobile musician, I tried to use iGrand Piano from IK Multimedia and found out the phone has an imperceptible lag (i think it must be around 30ms max, and possibly under) which is really rare on the android market and on this price range. It's really great for choir when you want to quickly find a note. Seeing the potential, I then wanted to use an iRig Keys (mini-keys) with it but the stock firmware doesn't allow OTG. It's unfortunate because the OTG is present in the hardware. I couldn't unlock my phone because the Huawei website never wanted to give me my unlock code. So I got an Honor 9 Lite which was a lot more powerful and had OTG out of the box. What a deception : it had a latency of around 200-300ms out of the box with IK Multimedia iGrand Piano/iLectric. I tried deactivating a lot of stuff but it didn't change anything. Also, the smoothness of the screen is far inferior to the Honor 5x : it has a lot of remanence and although you can launch 50 apps without lag and everything launches 10x times faster than on the Honor 5X, the overall feeling of the screen is really crappy which is a shame for an "evolution".
I finally managed to unlock the bootloader of the Honor 5X this weekend : the Huawei website seemed to have evolved and asked for one more field than before et and it worked when I retried.
So I tried several Nougat OS 7.1.2 : Resurrction Remix, DotOS, Cosmic, and had the same lag (around 200-300ms) as on the Honor 9 Lite. I remembered it was absolutely perfect with the OEM skin on Marshmallow and decided it was more important to have low latency audio than the latest Android version. I tried a Cyanogenmod Marshmallow and a ResurrectionRemix 5.7.4 and it worked like a charm ! Around 30ms, almost imperceptible : it's less than a real organ or than my old Erard piano with bizarre insides and with which I learned the instrument.
So for you all : just check a Marshmallow custom Rom if you need low latency audio on this marvellous phone. It seemed it can be the equal or beat Nexus 6P phones and other high-end devices almost out of the box on this field.
After few months my Honor 5x was very laggy, After i did few tweaks, its now very responsive. Here i shared few tricks it may help others.
Please note i am on stock ROM without rooting.
1. Download & install "Google Go" app from playstore. (light version of "Google" app), uninstall/disable "Google app". I found significant improvement after doing this. (A restart required)
2. Install "Go" apps instead of regular ones. "Maps go", "files go", "youtube go", etc. note these are the latest light weight apps from google.
3. Disable & uninstall un necessary apps, i disabled few apps that i never used. ex: Google play books, google play games, google play movies, google play newstand, google+, Hangouts, Photos, Social Channels, etc.
4. Use only light weight apps, some suggesstions
Holo launcher, (not hola launcher)
Youtube go instead of youtube,
Pixel Music player
Focus Go (Gallery)
5. Allow only necessary apps to run on background. I only allowed whatsapp, gmail, etc. (go to phone manager->battery->protected apps to check)
Note: A restart required after.
Hello, i want to change this days my phone and i first looked at the Zenfone 3 ZE520KL but now i discovered Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb+32gb (Qualcomm) and i really really want to know more about it. I will use it in Romania, it's the "kenzo" good ? I want this one because i see a lot's of custom roms and i love the Cyanogenmod or RR. How's the battery,daily performance,gaming performance and battery performance ? I don't care to much about the camera. Thanks a lot for the answers ! :good:
If you don't care too much about the camera,I personally think that the redmi note 3 snapdragon 650 variant(2 or 3 gb) is great.
The kenzo refers to the redmi note 3 with a snapdragon 650 processor, sometimes called the redmi note 3 pro.
battery life is great. You could easily get 9 to 12+ hours depending on your setup and usage. Daily performance is smooth, there are very few, if any stutters or lags. I don't know about gaming, because I don't play very intensive games, unless ppsspp counts. If it helps, playing ppsspp is smooth, and there are no lags or stutters when playing, unless you intentionally speed up the emulation, where the game stutters a bit.

I Recently bought this device, The 32GB SD variant and the performance of this device is like HELL Awesome!
The gaming performance is amazing like it can handle all games without any lag.
I played Nova 3, Asphalt 8, Gta San Andreas, Dead Tigger 2, Over killed, Nba, Sbk 2k16 and also some games on the psp emulator(PPSSPP) WITHOUT ANY LAG! TRUST ME.
The Camera performance is also amazing but not in bad lighting but still it's awesome. You can record videos in full HD (1080p). The camera doesn't seem to have auto stabilization but if you use a tripod than the quality is just amazing. The front facing camera is also good, Can take awesome selfies and I don't have anything bad to say about this.
The battery backup is also amazing... JUST Amazing! It last me around 20-23 hrs with heavy usage.
The display is also amazing and sharp you can watch YouTube videos in 1080p.
The fingerprint works gr8!
The only problem is that we just get about 1.3gb of Ram available out of 3gb but still I never notice any lag on this device.
The reason behind this Ram issue is the MIUI!
MIUI takes a hell lots of Ram as it's a custom ui but its optimization is well like I never notice any lag while surfing the phone/web or even while playing heavy games.
Still if you think that this is a problem for you then you can always flash a custom ROM on your device.
I think MIUI will improve there Ram optimization while updates. So don't need to worry.
Overall believe me if you gonna buy this device than YOU GOT THE BEAST IN YOUR HANDS!!!

Thanks for the reply I know the MIUI isn't the greatest android, thats why if i'm going to get this device i will install the Cyanogenmod or RR in the first day. But how about the screen ? I read that we dont have any screen protection...
its tempered glass i put another nillkin h+pro glass on top of it anyway. but the original its scratch resistant...just like gorilla glass.
and miui isnt bad actually...its pretty nice, dont worry about RAM though, SD650 is really powerful so even if it loads from CPU its fast

Xiaomi did not reveal the details about glass protection they used. Instead they said, the glass is scratch resistant has equivalent protection as same as gorilla glass provides.
You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Essential Phone performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Essential Phone keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

I am usually a RAM whore. Not happy that devices always seem to come up short on RAM. I would prefer to have 8 GB vs the 4 GB that most phones have.
While I have hand not problems with this phone yet and what Apps I have been running, I have yet to run Waze, my Valentine One App, Pandora, an OBDII App and text or email at the same time! This will be the test!
8Gb is overkill

The way Android handles the RAM, 8gb is overkill IMHO. It would be nice to have and maybe in a future phone that has two screens. Right now 4gb is fine.
The PH-1 does much better with ram than my Moto X Pure did. Haven't had much reload at all!

Blazing fast!! No lag in sight. And I'm not even in performance mode, which I always was in with the Note8.
I would say it's significantly faster than any other Android device I've owned. Apps load much faster, network performance is about 4x faster on average than my prior phone, even system updates are faster.

I have the 8GB model and my partner has the 6GB and we did some testing the other day and there was no real difference. Had 30 apps open as well as Spotify streaming whilst downloading a torrent via uTorrent and neither model showed any signs of lag/delay. I'm starting to think that the 8GB version is a bit over kill, maybe in the future we could utilise it when playing game's or what not.
TLDR, if you looking at buying the Note9 and don't the need the extra storage space just get the 6GB version, can always get an SD card.
6gb is same as 8 gb.... Just get 6gb it is cheaper.
This is great info. Im coming from the S9 and at time this thing is slow.
Was stunned to get 100Mbps deep in a building
Definitely faster than any other android device I've had. Coming from s7 edge. All specs and day to day use so far blows everything else out the water. Just got mines Saturday. 128gb with 6gb of ram
