        I updated my GALAXY A5 2016 to 7.0 NOUGAT and instantly had issues with the wifi at home connecting then dropping, I searched several forums and then went to the modems settings (AT&T) both 2.4 and 5.0 HGZ had the same password, so I renamed the 2.4 GHZ with a new name and password and it seems that the issue was solved - hope this helps for anyone having wifi connectivity issues whe upgrading to 7.0

                                        Mr Dk, 26 Feb 2018I want to update my A5 2016 to Nougat, so can you tell me guys any issues after update? And... moreI updated to Nougat (+ all available updates) 15 minutes ago.

                                        Battery/RAM: I can't say anything about the battery or the RAM management yet. I'm on 46% right now and it says "23 hours remaining" (73 hours with ultra power saving mode).

                                        Camera: It feels like the images are less colorful (might be placebo). Also, in some cases the auto mode makes the images brighter than they're supposed to be (can be fixed with professional mode).

                                        Storage: I had 6.5GB free space before the update, and now I have 7.6GB.

                                        Speed: I have no complaints. It was excellent on 6.0.1, it's still excellent on 7.0. No lag.

                                        Other: I don't really like the new font, but that's just my taste. However, I like the new Weather widget, it feels more premium (no, it's not the same as on the S8). Also I noticed that if you open an app from a folder and then you close it, it brings you back to the folder instead of the homescreen.
