I installed the latest one ui 5.1 update for A52s yesterday morning. Also installed play system update for March. After using it for 1 day I found following bugs so far. 

1. Colour palette doesn't show up after applying wallpaper. You have to again go to wallpaper & style & change it. Also colour of volume panel doesn't change, both normal & expanded. It remains default white.

2. WiFi reception is poor now. And It keeps fluctuating. Sometimes phone shows connected to wifi but cannot access Internet. 

3. Eye comfort shield doesn't work at all after unlocking the phone. Once I turn it on it shows a warm tint on display. But after phone is locked & unlocked it goes off. Toggle in QS tile shows it's on but display looks normal (without tint). Turning it on off from QS doesn't work. After few lock unlock again it starts working randomly. 

4. Charging time is increased. For in box 15w charger & 25w charger both it takes about 10 minutes more to charge fully and more time than shown when charging starts. Earlier it was taking about 5 minutes less than the predicted time. 

5. Phone heats up more than before while charging. It is heating quite a bit that it feels.

6. Heating issues were found when using 5g data continuously for more than 20 min outdoors.

After delaying the the update we still have so many bugs. I may find more in next few days. 
Haven't checked Bluetooth and other things yet.

That's what I found so far. On positive side, it's much more smooth and snappy. No camera degradation issues found.

Taking more time to charge is actually a good thing because the battery will last longer

LOL. It's not like that bro. How much time it takes to charge has nothing to with battery health. It depends on voltage & current that charger & charging circuit in phone are using. And it is controlled by software. Here more time to charge at higher speeds ia cauaing heating of changing circuit & battery means software is not optimised to regulate voltage & current pasaing to battery. It's actually a serious issue. Overheating battery like this can cause it to burst. Heating degardes battery performance & it's life.

I also felt the charging is slower than before but my backup is better now...and also no any heating issue whatsoever...also fast charging means battery charges faster right..but at the same time battery discharges faster as well during fast charging...so i believe slow charging is the better option...

You are getting it completely wrong. Fast charging doesn't mean fast discharging. Other brands have 80, 100, 120 watts fast charging. Those devices don't discharge equally fast. That way they will get only a minutes battery backup.

Heating thing is going to be normal due to high ambient temperature in summer. So it is going to affect charging time.
Advice is to turn fan/AC ON or try to keep surrounding temperature bit cool while charging.

It's not that high ambient temperature atleast here in Mumbai. It's around 32° max. It will reach upto 40° in May. So I don't agree that ambient temperature is causing heating issues. Also I have this phome for 1½ years now. It never had that much heating issues even in peak summer. So it's definitely a major bug in software & nothing else.
