                Does it make the Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 with lower performance if you install the Nougat version?

                          The battery capacity of 2900 mah for a 5.2 inch phone of full hd display is very huge.

                              Ebadeee, 15 Sep 2017Hey guys.. just need your suggestions bcoz I'm confused between Galaxy A5 2016 & Galaxy S6... moreA5 2016.
                              -great battery life
                              -display is a bit better in color calibration ( from what I have seen on youtube)
                              -no gyroscope ( no 360 or VR. I like 360 videos and I have to swipe )
                              -GPU is HORRIBLE ! Clash royale lags 540p resolution. 1080p 60fps and 50fps videos on youtube doesn't work and samsung purposely turned off.
                              -cheaper

                              S6
                              -Performance is skyrocket even today.
                              -Everything in 1440p is running silky buttery smooth.
                              -Battery life is... ok. And it charges fast. With resolution and performance at max you have to charge it pretty quick. Same for a5
                              -a bit expensive
                              I highly recommend s6. If you use youtube only in 720p 60fps and 1080 30fps and play only asphalt 8 or candy crush you can stick to a5 but it is not that future proof. Next year I have to change it. Playing and watching in 540p/720p is annoying and strains my eyes.

                                        It can not connect to T. V. at all, this is really disadvantage of that phone. they have to give smart view feature in that phone
