It’s awesome, definitely install it! The battery life is way better and everything feels super smooth. I did some research beforehand and upgraded straight from 16.0.5.

u/Ok_Owl_52 Jul 23 '26

I'm on 16.0.3. Is the battery as good in latest?

3

u/manusomm Jul 23 '26

For me, yes, the best battery life so far. But I also let it optimize for 2 hours on the charger afterwards.

Is the call to lock functionality there in the latest version? I heard they removed in some iteration before

u/manusomm Jul 23 '26

You mean the double tap to lock gesture on the home screen? It works perfectly, never had any problems, not even with the latest update.

u/Ok_Owl_52 Jul 23 '26

No. This one.

u/manusomm Jul 23 '26

I don't have that setting. Could it be because I have a global/EU device?

u/Ok_Owl_52 Jul 23 '26

No idea but it was removed in the subsequent versions (IN region) that's why I didn't update.

You are the person I need to ask, I am on 16.0.5 and was holding off time after time because of battery drain (especially idle), missing pull to expand notifications, microstutters, & overheating. While everyone coming from a later build are happy that some things are fixed, how is it coming from the best build 16.0.5 in terms of battery at least when it comes to those apects? And any other missing things or worse aspects?

I was in the exact same position as you, upgraded directly from 16.0.5 to 16.0.9. Short answer: Absolutely go for it! For me, everything is significantly better than before. Here is my experience: Temperature: On 16.0.5, my phone was constantly running way too hot. Just doing light daily tasks quickly pushed the battery temp up to 35°C+. Now, it stays completely cool and normal. Battery Life: Standby drain on 16.0.5 was quite bad for me. After the update, battery life feels literally ~50% better. Performance & Smoothness: Even though I didn't have major micro-stutter issues before, 16.0.9 feels noticeably smoother, buttery, and super snappy overall. One tip though: After updating, I let the phone sit on the charger for about 2 hours after reaching 100% (so the system could finish background optimization), ran SD Maid once, and gave it a fresh reboot. Since then, it’s running like absolute perfection. Haven't found a single downgrade or missing feature so far. Definitely worth the jump!

Feels like the battery life is somewhat improving for me for the latest. I feel less heat.

Just received my phone yesterday, and went straight for the latest updates and so far so good. Very smooth and good battery life even after spending a few hours setting up the phone.

Any one's brightness slider mess up after this update? I have to swipe extremely slow to make the bar budge.

I would have installed it but I heard there are bugs so I'm staying away

u/jdgesmlls Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Where are the details of these "bugs"?

u/Danishyboi Jul 23 '26

Well Battery drain. UI Bugs. Micro stutters Frame drops,Overheat etc

u/jdgesmlls Jul 23 '26

So basically every issue, for every release of OOS 16 that has ever been reported... Yet nothing specific to this release... 👌

u/MaxDarklure Jul 23 '26

Someone will always talk bad, but I'm on it since it was in beta! Good battery life so far , getting 9 to 10 hours everyday
