MCPE-7858Massive Lag on Samsung Devices!
Mcpe is lagging so terrible (5-10 FPS) for a tablet that has 8-core at 1.9 Ghz, with 3GB of RAM and Mali-T628MP6 (Exynos 5420) of GPU.
I downgraded to 0.9.5 and there was no lag (50 FPS more less).
This is still annoying me, even with the latest beta of 0.11.0, idk why is lagging if it has a better processor,RAM and GPU than an iPod Touch 5, because my iPod Touch 5 doesn´t lag even with the best graphics options available (4 render distance on, fancy graphics on, animated water on, all are on and doesn´t lag)
UPDATE 0.12.1: I found the bug, the problem is with the animated water option, i turned it off, and surprise, no lag, around 50FPS. Weird for a powerful tablet. In 0.9.x was working fine with the best graphics options.

I have an iPod Touch 5g and there is no lag on a infinite worlds, even with the best graphics options.
When you are going to the overworld and look at trees is it lagging and when you go in a cave its smooth right?
Even if Im flying through the ocean on an infinite wolrd, lags terrible.
How do you downgrade? Curious.
I urge the mods and devs to reproduce this CRITICAL issue with the samsung galaxy tab S 8.4'', i have been waiting for it to be fixed since 0.10.0 was released.
When i play MCPE, more than the half of the RAM its free. This tablet has 8-core processor. Even with the worst graphics options still lags. Please, PLEASE, compare to older devices like the iPod 5, and it doesn´t lag, even with the best graphics options. I have both devices, and i noticed the difference when i started playing on my Tab S. My brother has a cheaper device, the Tab 4 8.0'' and this tablet has no much lag as the tab s 8.4''
If there's no more beta builds, i will assume that it won't be fixed in 0.11.0.
I found the bug, the problem is with the animated water option, i turned it off, and surprise, no lag, around 50FPS. Weird for a powerful tablet.
With the animated water off, all is ok, no lag. Also i tried on a flat world with nothing, and when i have animated water on it even lags. The tab s has the best processors, you can see that on the geekbench 3 results: https://browser.primatelabs.com/android-benchmarks
Many users have the same issue not only with the tab s, is also confirmed for the samsung s5 s6, tab 4.
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Android 5.1.1 Version: 0.12.3
I disabled water animation and fancy graphic and then, no lags.
It was laggy only in 0.13.0 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1.
Does this issue affect 0.14.3?
Resolving as Fixed. Please comment below if anyone still experiences this issue on 0.14.3
I do but on the Galaxy S7
Reopened.
@Schyler Ryan Please verify that you have 0.14.3 installed on your device.
I do.
Does this affect the latest version? Please reply if it does.
Still lags on my s4... (0.15.6)
Render distance: lowest
Brightness: max
Everything else: disabled
Tested on a fresh new world
30 fps while moving the camera
Someone tell me how the heck is this possible...
EDIT: I don't have the "animated water" option for some reason.
EDIT2: Also tested on another s4, and on a galaxy S6... still lags, but only while moving the camera
I like get 60 FPS all the time
greg065 I suspect there is something strange going on on your devices. MCPE 0.15.6 ran just fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Android 5.1.1 and my Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1 I would double check that you don't have any 3rd party apps related to minecraft, close all other open apps and try MCPE again.
Does this bug affect 0.16.0? If so please respond.
Yes, this still affects Minecraft 0.16.2. Low FPS anywhere near water on Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I used to be able to fix it by disabling animated water, but you can't do that anymore. Usually it is around 60 FPS but near water, the framerate drops to around 10-15 FPS.
GPU problem.Some device with Mali Txxxx do not work well.It may from you update software.You use all low settings and see if this occur.
Using a Note 5, only when settings are somewhat low that the game is fine. But near trees causes the FPS counter to cut in half (or lower), forcing me to lower the render distance significantly, and even then the FPS hovers roughly at 30-40-ish when near large forest biomes.
I just got MCPE on my Samsung Galaxy S6 and after building a world for a few days the lag is so horrible (single player survival, Internet off) that most button presses are ignored. Turning down all settings to lowest or off doesn't fix the issue. Reinstalling the app does not help. It's completely non-playable at this point. I've tried closing all apps and background processes and it's no better.
This ticket has been resolved as 'Cannot Reproduce' as it has no response was received recently.
This issue is still there to this day. It seems to be specific to devices with Mali GPUs. This seems to affect all Samsung Exynos based devices. I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016 and a generic T95Z android box, which although it has an Amlogic S912 Octa-Core CPU, it still has a Mali-T820MP3 for graphics based operations.
