Massive 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.

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.
