What about Performance and User Experience?
For those who haven’t updated yet, let me tell you – after the Android 16 update, the overall feel of the phone is much cleaner and more modern. Performance improvements are noticeable, especially in multitasking and app switching. However, due to the major update, the phone may lag a little or consume more battery in the first few days. The system runs optimizations in the background, so if you wait patiently, everything will return to normal later.
