I tried the Note 4 at BestBuy today, and I found that TouchWiz still lags and has stutters. I tested 3 phones - Note 4 and S5 in the display, and my LG G2. My G2 was running AOSP rom. Tested -
1. opening a number of apps, then opening recents
2. open settings
3. switch to gallery from camera
4. switch between apps
S-Voice was disabled on both Samsung phones, but they were in retail mode obviously. What I found was there is no speed difference between N4/S5, and both are slower than G2, esp on #1. I expect these powerful phones to be instant and seeing an almost 1/2s lag before e.g. settings opens is not acceptable.
I tried 2 different N4 phones and both had same issue. Now I'm just hoping it is due to retail mode running in background. I also wanted to test fingerprint unlock but that's disabled.
