Make sure that you're using the "Version 2 (OpenGL) map rendering engine in the OSMAnd settings.
Using offline maps can also help, but I've never found it to be smooth like Google Maps (from years ago that I was using it).
I'm using an older Samsung Note, and don't have issues with the speed. It has improved quite a bit from maybe 2 years ago.
I just realized that the Version 1 renderer feels much snappier for me.
Just tried it, and it's unbearable on my device. It may also depend on what map layer(s) you're using, and the device capabilities.
V1 was the previous render engine, when pretty much everyone complained that it was too sluggish. LOL
