                        After receiving an OTA update 257.93 mb. I have noticed that the Stand by time of my device has been improved drastically. Also overall battery life & performance has been improved as well.

                        I'll post snapshots for the standby time soon.

                        Thanks.

                              I have attached screenshots, considering I am using the same battery since Dec 2014, it isn't bad. It also charges from 50 to 90% in just 27 min.

                              My phone is Exynos G850Y Indian one.

                                Hello Guys,

                                I am from India & has been using Alpha Since November 2014 & it is running on lollipop 5.0.2.

                                Today I've receive an update of 257.93 MB OTA. Below are the screenshots before updating the device to latest update.

                                And here are the screenshots after the update:

                                I didn't notice any changes in to my device accept Build Number, Security Software Version etc.

                                Did anyone from India have received this update yet ?

                                Many Thanks in advance.

                                  13.05.2017 my last word for this beauty : **** you samsung. I went back to a5 2016. I really want you to destroy this phone after nougat update as well. Even if you give me a free note 8 I will throw right into your face, while it is on fire.

                                  Dearfully,
                                  Apolodor

                                    AnonD-12498, 11 May 2017I think u guys need to buy new battery, buy it from offici... moreI changed the battery but is a small improvement. Every super heavy game drains battery like a lightning strike. Even 1.5 year ago battery wasn't that great. I could get 2.5 hours screen time on light games and that was the best I could get. A5 2016 wipes the floor with alpha in terms of battery. A5 2016 lasts 4hours on light gaming and 2.5hours on heavy gaming.
                                    I thought alpha will get MM but samsung said:"suck it. Buy A series" (BUT A SERIES CAN'T PLAY A VIDEO IN 1080 60 FPS and they cost 450 euros. I am seriosly considering throw alpha in trash. Also I have to restart it 2 times a day because screen freezing is pissing me so hard!!!

                                      I am fine with this phone's battery, it works from 10 am to 7 pm for me with medium usage and 5 hours for extremely high usage.

                                      I only experience huge battery drain when GPS is turned on, otherwise no issue.

                                      But yes, try factory reset and check old battery performance before buying new one

                                      My friend is having Galaxy S8 and I am not seing huge battery life difference. I gets 3.5 Hours Screen on Time even after 2.5 years and my friend's new S8 gets 4.5 hours

                                      We should also consider that Alpha takes 80 min. To full charge and S8 takes 105 min.
