I have many reasons to switch to NEX3 but speed is not a major factor. The in-built device optimizer seems to keep misbehaving apps (waking themselves up needlessly or hogging RAM) in check and the device is not significantly slower from the how it was almost 2 years ago.

    As iPhone XS Max has been around for months I believe this comparison isn't a big dead. Lets wait for the next iPhone 11 Max, Pro Max, whatever the name will be.

      Well yes, Note 10+ may be fast at the moment, but this speed will not stay for long. I have a long history from s3 to s8 and Note-7 to Note-8, all the phones has same issue. Its really fast at the beginning, and gets really slow with time (2-3 months). This is why i jumped to Apple. 1 year+ for my iPhone x and the speed is still the same.

        My iphone x performs faster than the xs max shown in this video.

                      The year-old iPhone with a one-third of RAM, compared to latest Samsung, still performs almost the same.

                      Shame on AndroidOS and Samsung architecture.
