I received the Galaxy S6 Edge on Monday, and let me say that I love this phone. Build quality, camera, polish...everything. Except, it lags. I guess this is relative, as it is decently snappy, but it is not as quick as my Moto X or my two year old Nexus 5. Surely I am doing something wrong?

Nearly all the professional reviews praise the speed and say this phone is so fast it screams. Nearly all of the articles I have read and impressions I have read say this phone is lightning quick. All of this leads me to believe that perhaps I have a defective unit? I measure the speed not by swiping between screens, which I think is a silly way of measuring speed. I measure speed by doing something that I do many times daily, opening and closing a folder. My Moto X is not just faster, it is significantly faster. On to some amateur videos I made to show what I mean:

As you can see, the phone lags when opening and closing a folder. Due to this lag, it constantly registers my touch on the chrome icon that I alternate to in between touches. I've noticed this behavior in many areas when using the phone, but this is the best way to show it.

See how lightning quick the Moto X is? This is what I am used to and this is how my Nexus 5 behaves as well. Not a single time does the Moto X not register my touch quick enough or not open/close the folder quick enough.

When I read impressions and reviews that the GS6 is the fastest phone out there, I was expecting something faster than my Moto X and Nexus 5. After dropping nearly ,000 switching phones, you can understand the slight frustration I have.

However, with so many reviews and so many impressions, I surely feel I am doing something wrong or I have a defective unit? Anybody else have this issue? Please help. I love this phone and if it can just be as quick as my Moto X, I will be all sorts of happy.

Some details if it helps:

- T-Mobile version
- Installed the OTA update as soon as I got it
- Have not tried factory reset (I set everything up, so kind of hoping I don't have to do this)

Thanks!
