The UI feels much laggier, slower and heavier than before. 8.0 was kinda perfect in terms of smoothness.
10 Betas and 5-6 months of waiting for this...
Today I installed the stable OneUI 8.5 on my S25 Ultra and oh boy...
They changed the touch response behavior, which means the display drops to 60Hz too quickly now. It’s easy to test. Open the keyboard (I use Gboard), wait a short moment, and then tap the arrow to close the keyboard. It stutters. But if you open the keyboard and immediately tap the arrow, it stays smooth. This can be reproduced consistently.
Because of this, the whole system feels less fluid than One UI 8.0.
The quick panel feels also less smooth, especially swiping from the notification panel to the quick settings panel.
Please report this to Samsung!
This sucks.
