How beta version is working on iPhone 4s? Any one?

Terribly bad.. had to get back to iOS 7.. tons of lag, crashing, for example navigations for car was crashing instantly after selecting route.. even music player lags.. lets just hope they will optimize it in the final beta.

Only a few tweaks, and that handoff stopped working making phone calls from my MacBook Pro and iPad Air
