Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) in Europe is now receiving a maintenance update to tackle the disappointing battery setback which started after its OS was updated to Android 7.0 Nougat. Recall that Galaxy A3 was launched last year with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and everything was perfect but after it was updated to Android 7.0 Nougat, the maximum battery level dropped down to 87%. This irregularity also caused the battery to drain rapidly and all attempts to curtail the situation proved abortive. The only solution was to return to its initial OS (Android 6.0 Marshmallow).
