I bought my 950 a few months ago, moving up from my M8. I liked my M8 but I really wanted to give Windows 10 a go on mobile. I'm not really happy. My 950 has always been a bit laggy and overheats a lot with rendering graphics. My 950 is an unlocked phone that I purchased from the local MS store, and it's always up to date (not running insider). When I do any photo editing you can feel the phone heat up within minutes - it gets very warm. I use Readit for reddit. This app is supposedly built for Win 10, but when it plays videos, or when I'm browsing for more than 10 minutes (which isn't hard to do on reddit) it overheats terribly and often times the app crashes. I like playing Wordament, a simple word game put out by Microsoft Studios - I can only play about 3 rounds before the phone overheats and the game stops responding. When I swipe from my main screen to the apps list, it takes about 3-5 seconds for the app icons to appear (on my M8 with 8.1 they show up instantly). It seems to me that anything that requires a little bit of graphics drawing causes the phone to overheat.
I thought to myself that this must be a problem with my phone. I finally went to the MS store yesterday and started to play with the 950 they had on demo. Wordament and Readit were already installed so I played with those for about 10 minutes. Their demo 950 also overheated. Either I'm really good at picking all the bad apps or there's a real problem with Windows 10 mobile.
Is Windows 10 mobile really that bad at handling graphics? I like a lot of the other features of the OS and phone. I like all the integration of Cortana with my desktop account. And it works really well with my work applications. (altough, I think Cortana and the drawing, learning keyboard worked better in 8.1) But the laggy graphics with this OS is ridiculous.
I really want to like this phone and Windows 10 mobile, but I'm having a hard time. Other people must be experiencing this too, right?
Any thoughts out there?
