      While we use finger print sensor to unlock keyboard the show error as
      "Enter pattern instead of fingerprint recognition because of security policy"

        Awsome phone...I had purchased this phone in may 2016 n this hasnt given any problem yet no lag no heating issues on high end gaming.And also sound quality is very good and the credit goes to "Samsung Music" app..Users who say it has battery draining problem,there is no problem with me.I can play Clash of Clans(High battery draining game) for 3-4 hours continuosly n have 35 - 40% of battery still left.The keyboard is also excellent and after the marshmallow update this phone's performance has become the best yet...Camera quality is just awsome you cant expect an Iphone camera in just 18k so i would definetly reccomend you to go for this phone.

                                I would recommend to directly update from your phone, about update. it only took a few minutes to install update. (no data loss, no apps, no contacts, everything else stays the same).

                                  If you want high specs (RAM, ROM, CPU and everything) and don't care too much for looks or quality, go for lenovo, and they say P1 has one of the very fast fingerprint scanner (can't comment on that).
                                  I am not saying that A5(2016) is very high quality, but it sure looks premium, the rich premium features, the occasional update patches (mine got 6.0 now, which introduces FP and screen off conflict issue), etc.
                                  Here is the downside of A5,
                                  - low RAM and ROM (2GB, 16GB), so don't expect to be superfast and very much gaming friendly
                                  - FP scanner, slow and not very accurate from time to time (it must be because of my finger tip position when I try to unlock, but with P1 - having FP scanner at the back and largness makes it easier to put the whole finger tip on it and easier to be read)
                                  - Camera not very great in low light (marvelous in sunlight though) and low/no image stabilization (pic gets blurred when hand shakes, especially selfie)
                                  That is pretty much everything I can say about the downfall now.
                                  Good luck!

                                        Why this phone lags in marshmallow ? Games was good in 5.0.1 but when i upgraded it to 6.0.1 i cant even play pokemon go, menus go to 7fps or something like that, and low games like geometry dash starts lags too, no sense at all, and if i go back to menus and return to game , stay normal for like 10 secs and starting lag again. Anyone know how to fix it ?
