I wouldn't call him calm to be honest 
He is very "darty". Unlike Tino who is the more relaxed one. But yes generally Syrians are a more relaxed species, with exceptions. They are not slow, but generally slower and more manageable than dwarf hamsters, if that makes sense. In some ways (some might disagree with that!). They can be quite sensitive and easily stressed though. Maybe not as boisterous in personality as dwarf hamsters. I have never actually had a winter white so I can't compare really.
They are a nice big handful! I would love to have a russian dwarf hamster, but I'm apparently very allergic to that species. Never had a problem with Syrians or Robos.
