            Updated my A5 2016 to Nougut yesterday. Performance is smooth so far. Battery is good. Seems better than before. UI changes.
            I have rooted my phone. So i had to download firmware on PC then upgraded via flashfire without loosing the root access.
            I rooted to make adoptable storage. If you want to use adoptable storage please use at least class 10 sd card. Otherwise your phone's performance might be affected.
