Fluent Design performance might not be as good as we expect on phones with fairer specs

We have already talked on several occasions about the Fluent Design System, Microsoft's new design language, which until not long ago we knew under the name of Proyecto Neón. An improved interface that makes use of transparencies and bokeh effects on all sides seeks to improve the user experience in the operating system and the applications that are associated with it

A system that looks beautiful but what, as we already pointed out in its day, we hope that it does not sin from a too high consumption of resources and penalize as Aero did in Windows Vista in its day.And it seems that these fears come true or at least the operation is not ideal to have a good user experience in the phone models that have tighter specifications.

"

That is at least the conclusion they have reached at NokiBar, on whose YouTube channel they have published a video with three iconic models of the Lumia brandsuch as the Lumia 650, Lumia 930 and Lumia 950 XL. Three phones that run the new Fluent Desing interface and in which video you can see how it clearly has problems in the lower model."

Problems above all with fluidity, since there is lag when scrolling through some menus and above all a notably longer loading time in some Groove Music screens so that while in the Lumia 930 and 950 XL we already have the functional screen in the Lumia 650 it is still in the loading process.

These are three different phones, two high-end and one mid-range (the Lumia 650) aimed at a different audience. Some performance failures that should be quarantined, as we must remember that this is a phase in which Fluent Design is still under development and therefore there are still many aspects to polish, including better optimization.

It is to be hoped that when it reaches the market on a massive scale it will have been tested to perform equally in a vast majority of terminals with those that are compatible, but videos like this make us keep our eyes wide open for what might happen.
