First it is 5.2 inch screen, second it heats up and drains with continuous web setting for about 1 your, so it will mote heat up in gaming and third it will get Noughet update either in May or later. I already seen S7 users are complaining about issues with Noughet update. So there is no guarantee that it will also face issue.

In stead for gaming you should go for Mi Note 4 which is best option and get Noughet update faster. Also you can consider Moto G5 or G5 Plus for Noughet, as for gaming in these devices you have to see YouTube reviews. Regards.

                It's such a bad phone that customer should think many times before buying this this phone. It has not completed it's 1 year yet and I'm facing a lot of problem with this. Also if you go to service center, they will charge you high amount for rectification, it's better to buy another phone instead of spending on this. My mobile once fallen not from very much height, it's display and touch bot got damaged instantly. Not only this, once I plugged in for charging then suddenly it's software got damaged. I mean I have not seen this kind of phone. It's inappropiate. I think Samsung should do something for the same.

                              Today, i tried to mirror my mobile's display on samsung smart tv. But i found out it doesn't support sreen mirroring. What a shame! Even A5 2015 supports screen mirror. You expect improvements in new model not downgrades. Samsung this is pathetic.

Yeah it happened to me. Transfering apps to sd card doesn't really help. The only option you have is rooting your device and make your sd card internal storage.

It was o... moreAs far as short memory is concerned, marshmallow has option to use micro sd card as internal storage. Unfortunately, samsung doesn't allow this feature. Maybe because mobile's performance suffer when you use poor micro sd card. Now you can enable this option.
                                        You need to be little techy for this. You can root your mobile, of course this will void your warranty. After rooting you can install app Root Essentials from Google play store.
                                        With this app you can make your sd card as internal storage.
                                        Keep in mind use original at least class 10 micro sd card to use this feature. Otherwise it will destroy the performance of your phone. You would hate your phone.
                                        I have rooted my phone. I m using class 10 micro sd card as internal storage. No more worries about low storage. I have installed many apps including Asphalt 8 and other big size games. And my mobile is giving buttery performance.
                                        One more thing. After rooting you will not able to update your phone to new android software. But no worries. You can download update from sam mobile for your model and install update. Of course you will have to root your phone again if you apply update.
                                        Cheers!
