I used to own a Samsung a3 2016 handset. When on nougat, it was crap. The battery drained 1% every 30 seconds on mobile data and every 2 minutes on WiFi. I tried everything to fix the battery such as reducing my brightness, optimising etc. but nothing worked. Eventually it got on my nerves so much that I upgraded to the S7.

Nougat ruined a lof of s6´s aswell. Mine s6 edge stopped fast charging. Did everyhing possible. Cache swipes, soft and hard resets, conector cleaning, various carges and cable. Nothing. The phone recognizes EVERY charger, no matter of the output, as a USB connection and the phone charges very slow.
Samsung NEEDS to correct this somehow, otherwise many will never apply such money for flagships that got problematic after a year of carefull usage.

Well, I had the same problem for about twoo-three weeks, after the initial install of Android 7. Yesterday evening, however, Samsung pushed another update, which fixed the issue, and the phone charges to full 100% now.
