Hell no I sold it lol. Couldn't stand the lag in most of the Google apps, and the touch response delay was tragic.
Got a tip for us?

The irony of having 8 cores and 4GB of RAM and not being able to be lag-free. Shows how many people take OS and app optimization for granted and go straight for specs (not saying you do, but many do).
I'm waiting to see PhoneBuff's iPhone 6s vs. Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6s Plus vs. Galaxy Note 5 speed tests in order to determine which are the faster phones in real world usage.
Please go ahead and disprove the countless evidence in that thread and in the comparison video. I'm sure all the posters in that thread would love to know how you defeated lag in your phone.
Otherwise I'll take their word and my experience with my Note 5 over yours thanks.
If you are talking to me, well then I defeated nothing as I haven't encountered lag. My phone is a week and a bit old, things may change but the only lag/stutter I've even vaguely noticed is when my apps are updating in the background.
Sorry if you are having lag fest but it's obviously not an issue for everyone, as countless reviews state.

Same here. My Note 5 is super smooth. Maybe, some day, I will mod, but for now, it's awesome stock (with Nova)
Great phone!
