S22 Ultra 8GB/156 LAGGY

[bassplayrguy]

My s22u is very laggy. I see it alot when opening apps and sometimes the typing will not keep up with me. I am only 7 days in so I can return it but how disappointing from the new chipset. This thing should be smooth as glass. I am guessing there is not enough RAM to run things sufficiently. With other manufacturers having smooth devices out the 8/128, I am wondering if it has anything to do with the Note side of the software. Just spit balling. Very upsetting. I will try the higher RAM version if I can get one.

Edit 8/128 not 156.

Did you copy everything over from your last phone or do a fresh install?

I copied via smart switch with cable from my s21 ultra 16/512

My S22 Ultra is smooth a silk.

I never use smart switch or ever copy from an old device. I also start each new phone as a fresh install. It's a pain in the butt but seems like to best way to set up a new device.

Not sure if coping data from an old phone has anything to do with your problem or not.

Maybe try a reset and fresh setup?

Good idea. I will try this evening and report.

Maybe try adding more "Virtual Ram Plus" and see it that helps.

I don't really see how 8GB of RAM isn't enough for good performance on ANY phone. I feel like if your phone is not performing well, RAM is not the issue. Have you checked RAM usage (via a task killer/mangler) to verify?

Smooth here as well. I did a start from scratch myself.

I have the same problem, I'm getting lag in different places (lock screen animation, unlocking via finger print, and scrolling on certain apps like Twitter and IMDb - but scrolling is smooth on some other apps). I also have an 8 GB of RAM device, Exynos. I've bumped up RAM Plus to 8 GB and this made no difference. Looking in the settings, it says I have 1.8 GB of RAM free.

Filling up RAM typically is better for Android, unlike Windows. https://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

So odd Samsung put 8gb in the lowest S22 Ultra. I mean the Pixel 6 Pro has min 12gb and you'd think if Google thought it could get away with 8 it would. I mean it's not like there lower models Pixel 6 or S22/S22+ where you have smaller screen, 1080 display, less camera, etc.

12gb and you're also giving yourself a better chance to future proof in the next 4 years of OS updates... An S22U with 8gb running Android 16?! How is that gonna work out? Not that anyone on this forum is gonna hold their phone that long lol.
