Look like it is not a good idea upgrade to nougat for this phone.
The only feature i like emui 5 is apps drawer.

Just delete your Google account and re enter it to solve such issues
Had you consider high wakelocks causing unnecessary high battery drain? Check through each app that required internet access and reset the default refresh data settings to your convenience. You would be surprised some app actively refresh it's data even every 15 mins!!
The Mate 8 n Mate9 I deemed had good battery life - for me minimum 9 hours SOT , 10-11 is common. My usage mainly on internet stuffs with no gaming
I don't use FB and use Swipe for Facebook as alternative.

How to reset each apps data refresh rate? Is this option only for root device? Any recommended apps to perform this?

I already updated to EMUI 5.0 by OTA - it is a huge file at 2.1Gb. I like this latest EMUI/Nougat for the 2 Facebooks and 2 WhatsApps, and the ability to include the emergency numbers in the lockscreen. Other than that, I think the changes are not significant and more importantly there is no lag in my old Mate 8.

EMUI5 smoother than emui 4.1? How about camera performance? From what I know, the battery drain 50% faster.
As of now, do you think it worth to upgrade?

How's the camera for this phone?  No, don't say that 'want a good camera, please use DSLR' crap.  How does it compare with other phones?  GSMArena reviewed it as not really good, but a few updates have come since then.

Compare to last year best camera phone>>s7edge, the low light performance is bad & focus speed is slow. Other than that, it is a flagship level camera. But don't compare with leica brand.

The fingerprint scanner not so fast & sometimes very hard to unlock. My phone is slightly more than 1 year. Anyone has the same issue & how to fix?

Look like everyone here is desperate to update to EMUI 5. I assume there is no major issue with the nougat update.
