Just got my fairphone 4 today, I’ve played a lot with it along the day and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed by the lack of smoothness in animations.
It’s not stuttering, it’s more a matter of scrolling missing frames or something like that.
Phone reacts fast on touch, but every animation seem slightly laggy.
I’ve made all the updates as well as a factory reset without any improvement. I really hope it’s an issue due to the device’s youth and can be fixed through software update because for now it feels like a massive downgrade.
That’s what I thought first because I do Indeed come from a zenfone 8 set to 90hz, but then I played with my wife’s pixel 4a which specs are close to fp4 and it was smooth as well.
My experience is that FP4 smoothness is quite variable depending on how many apps I have open and what I am doing with them. So I have experienced occasional laggy behaviour, but not generally.
And to be honest: I didn’t expect a fairphone to behave a high end device that is always fast and smooth.
For sure I didn’t expect high end feeling, but at least something close to quality mid-range device such as the Google Pixel 4a. But then again it could simply be the fault of bad system optimisation, future updates will tell I guess.
Yeah, tried it, removing the animation is masking the issue on level of animations, which is not solving the real problem. Scrolling still feels sluggish somehow.
Haha you’ve jumped such a gap in terms of device specs !
Well the more I think about it, the more I tend to think I’m biased by my older device… maybe it’s the downgrade from 90hz to 60hz… I don’t know…
