So, now i don't want to mention them again but here in this post i want to mention things in general user point of you. 

Camera : 

 I see some quality improvements in front cam as well as in rear. 

Fast Charging :

 0-100% in 1hr 40min

 0-96% in 1hr 45min

 0-100% in 1hr 55min

Before update it used to be 1hr 30min with max 1hr 40min.

Cable charging :

 0-100% in 2hrs 10min

 36-81% in 56min

Beforw update it used to be 1hr 50min with max 2hrs.

Ram management :

 Avg ram i see 2.4gb with max 2.9gb. Though it was increased from before (avg 2.4gb max 2.6gb) i don't see any lag, shutters while switching between apps also in gaming. Which was my main concern before. So, ram management improved in my opinion. 

Heating :

 Still has those heating issues while gaming. 

Connectivity :

 No issues in connectivity like BT, WiFi, hotspot etc.

Network : 

 No network issues yet. Getting good speed & coverage with jio. 

Restarts : 

 While using secure folder mobile got restarted 7 times in 5days. This happened only while using secure folder. 

Battery backup :

 Seems battery backup is reduced. Though i debloated some apps the Max SoT i used to get before update was 11hrs 30min in 7 tests. 

But after update in 4 tests of full drain max SoT I got was 9hrs. 

Have to see few more days how it performs.

Deep sleep drain : 

 Overnight (12am - 7/8am ) is just 1% 🙂

Device care :

 Adaptive power saving which generally changes from optimized to medium below 40% not at all works. Yes it used to work perfect before as soon as battery reaches below 40% or phone is idle for more than 2 hrs optimized changes to medium. Again changes to optimized while charging & battery more than 40% .But now it always stays in medium power saving i have to change it manually to optimized. 

Conclusion :

 Its a good update with some new features but these are some issues i faced.

1. Random Restarts while using secure folder. 

2. Battery backup reduced a little.

3. Useful cards not working.

4. Adaptive battery saving not working. 

5. Charging time increased a little. And the estimated time is always wrong 😆

Note : 

Just for the test purpose i drained & charged the battery full if not i prefer to use mobile between 20-80% 

Settings i use for battery

I saw a glitch in my A50s... kind-a refresh happened to the phone automatically very frequent and refresh any app even working... facing problem when watching youtube (automatically get to the homescreen) and using camera (a glitch happened and struggle for refocusing the camera)

its because deep sleep if you don't use app for 5min it automatically closes but not when playing video in idle state

[AndroidTeam]

there is such a serious issue even i have turned off all the optimizations like deep sleep and sleeping apps and battery optimization... even after i have wiped cache through recovery mode but se thing happens very frequent and i have noticed in all apps e.g. games, youtube, camera etc. even in idle state the phone gets hang and release after a while.

have you changed any developer options like background process?

[AndroidTeam]

nope

[Anonymous]

set animation to 0.5x in developer options. if you didn't enable developers option then use mobile in optimized mode. download Google files app and check any unnecessary junk is there. still has issues better reset device once.

[Anonymous]

here is just your opposite 🤣👇

[hrithsaha]

is SENSOR OFF a Very risk process??

[Anonymous]

nothing like risk bro.. who said?
according to google it is meant for saving battery but in my opinion it is for privacy too as camera is blocked. this members app itself tries to access camera even permissions are denied.
