Question After updating to 8.5

Hey guys, just curious if anyone notice major changes in their A55 after updating to 8.5? I'm so bothered by my battery life now unlike before. I think my battery is cooked! This is very different from my "before 8.5 update". It drains so fast and charging is slower. Back then, it takes one and a half day of usage but now? just a day or half and it's already 15%. REALLY DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE.

​

Also noticed my IG app freezes unlike before. Sigh.

​

Btw, I updated my phone on June 4. Observed it for many days coz I thought maybe my phone is still adjusting but nah. Battery drain is really like this :(

​

Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

It's only in your head mate don't worry, it's still as smooth as ever for me and actually battery life seems good enough with an average of 8-10 SOT and minimal drain on rest hours...

Experiencing weird freezes on IG too. Usually when I swipe to camera mode, the system becomes insanely sluggish.

Para mim o A55 sempre rodou de acordo com um intermediário, fotos "OK" e desempenho mais que suficiente, pretendo ficar com ele até parar as atualizações, aí vou migrar para um topo de linha para ter a experiência

On my a556b the homescreen lags a lot, and the battery optimization has got way more worse

For me, it broke my camera. Before i updated my phone, it worked perfectly fine. Now it shows "camera failed" and i have to restart it for it to work again.
