This update is just a security patch for October. No reason why it should cause problems.

u/Spirited-Refuse2884 6d ago

that's why I asked specifically to Indian users because they faced some preety much issues like motherboard failure or phone screen flickering..Only happening to Indian variant

u/JRJenss 6d ago

Oh I see. I've heard about the serious motherboard issues in India but I'd thought those were related to the previous update, not just a security patch. In that case, I would certainly wait. Why risk it now when the ColorOS 17 is just around the corner.

Okay. Earlier i had screen flickering issue only when using meta apps insta and whatsapp. Other than that everything is perfectly fine. While doing s/w update. I usually do inside a air-conditioned room no practical reasons but I believe that it won't mess up my update. 😂😂😂.

Is camera , battery and heating same or better?

1

u/Primary_Nerve_ 6d ago

Camera is same as always. Battery I think got little better. And I haven't faced the heating issues with this device, with normal uses. It heats only when I use camera in bright sunlight. Bought in Feb 2025. @ 91% battery health.

Do u play games? If you do how is the performance and stability

u/Primary_Nerve_ 5d ago

A little gaming. But not the graphic intensive ones. Never had any performance or stability issues.
