Nougat Review on A5 2016

[rs]

Here's my nougat review on A5 2016 after 48 hours of usage.

What's good about the update:
1. The phone works a whole lot faster and animations feel very smooth.
Opening apps has never been so fast until now!
2.Grace UI obviously looks awesome.
3.Fingerprint recognition speed has improved significantly.
4.I also feel that each app has been optimised in the update, apps like WhatsApp have a new kind of animation.
5.Switching between 2 recent apps by double tapping the recent button is a very useful feature.
6.Multi-Window feature is also a good feature, though not very useful.I find myself using it with YouTube.

What's not good about the update:
1.No Bluelight filter-tho I wouldn't have used that feature much even if it was present( it's like who have got the B.L filter don't really care about it but who haven't received it are crying)
2.Battery life has not improved and charging(fast charging) time has increased by 5-10 mins.
3.No background blur in the app drawer
4. Proper rounded icons like in the S series has not been implemented.

Overall the update is a win for me!
------
Side note: Interestingly, the benchmark score on Antutu has reduced tho the performance has improved significantly.

Multi window was not there in MM? It came with Nougat in A series?

No it was there in MM also for A series. But it has improved in Nougat so I mentioned it. Also, multi window is a big feature in Google phones

@Rahul003 No, I don't think even J 2016/Prime series support it, Does it?

Bro, free RAM is 325 mb(without clearing) . I have alot of apps(many heavy ones) and reasonable amount of games so take that into consideration. Why are you switching from J7-6 to A5-6?
