Sadly I don't have the money at this time. Otherwise I would just buy it to resell it in all honesty!
If it is available at the end of the week I'd buy it in a hesrtbeat

I hate to say this but my S8+ "just works" and my iPhone 7 Plus and my iPad Mini 4 have some issues wth iOS 10. It's getting better as they work the bugs out of iOS 10, but it's been a rocky ride. When iOS 10 first came out my iPhone SE went from flawless to choppy to use. I like the features iOS 10 brought but they needed to do a lot of tuning on this one.
Nice! That fixed the TouchWiz launcher stutter when closing the gallery app.
It's well documented the phone has issues. On Android forums and Youtube.

But you refuse to read the Android forums where it's discussed daily.
Since it's been well documented I'm sure you can give us percentages of affected devices?
Don't need too. You guys know how to search and find the android forums. I've seen it here before, even with proving the points, you all continue to argue. Not worth my time.
Lol typical response. Unfortunately you come across as uninformed when you make blanket statements and can't back them up.
But like always, you never prove otherwise. I'm done here as it is obvious you can't have an adult conversation.
You failed to provide proof behind your claim other than "Google it". They burden still remains in your corner.
The phone CAN have lag issues. I know because I had them for awhile. But I've gone back to default settings after tweaking to try and get rid of them and the problem did "miraculously" disappear. So there may be something going on, yes, but whatever it is apparently isn't without a remedy. It's not the same as saying the phone DOES have lag issues. It CAN have them. Just as iPhones have had issues we've all tried to troubleshoot in the past on this site. Pixels have had their fair share of issues afflicting many, but not all owners, too.
I am glad this potential problem is being discussed and dissected. I would like to know what causes it and how to fix it if my phone is afflicted again.
I choose to go off my own personal experience using the device, rather than what some stranger says on a forum, when I have no clue how, or if they actually have used the device.
[doublepost=1494167882][/doublepost]Literally every phone ever made has "documented" lag issues if you're just doing a simple Google search.
I read complaints on xda, for each person experiencing lag there were 10 who aren't so ....
We all don't have the exact same apps on the phone, use the same resolution, use the same dpi, etc. etc.
That is very true. But some things like going into your dialer, or into settings, or the gallery the phone freezes for a bit and won't respond aren't related to apps.
Except those things are literally apps, and depending on the third party apps a person has running in the background, they could have issues.
But here is the deal. If Android can't handle that, but the iOS can, there is an issue. That is why iOS is so much more stable and smooth than Android. The APPS.
But it's all relative to how a person uses their phone. There is plenty of documentation out there showing people experience iOS lag, even on the latest hardware. It sounds like your experience is different, and that's understandable. iOS is very stable in the six or so years I've used it. I've always been an android hater because the software was bad, but I'm telling you, in my own personal experience this phone is buttery smooth. I've NEVER been able to say about an Android device before.
The only time I ever have my iPhone freeze, is like yesterday when I uploaded 3 videos to Facebook. It froze for a bit. But that is very resource intensive too and expected.
No wonder there is hardly any lag with iOS, you can hardly do anything with it. Heck, customization is a word iOS never heard of.
Now, compare it with Android/TouchWiz, see the endless customization.
get the picture?
And most people don't customize their phones unless your a techie. A guy at work just got a new phone, and he doesn't have a clue about widgets, etc.
True. I don't have any lag at all on my S8, but even if lag does start to show up in the future I'd rather deal with that occasional lag than ever go back to the limited iOS after having the S8. It'd be great if Apple could woo me back, but I don't see Apple ever making changes to iOS that make it truly equal to Android in customization and features.
iOS couldn't handle uploading 3 videos to Facebook? That's some pretty major lag issues right there.
