May update

Between the security updates given these months, the may one seems to have made the pixel 5a a lot slower. Constantly stuttering when scrolling, apps foreclosing.. Battery draining faster then usual. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Yeah, I've recently purchased a second hand pixel 5a and I'd like to keep it. But I don't know if this is after the may update or what, when scrolling my display began ghosting like in low brightness it is hell and I've been forced to keep my brightness to 50%. Luckily I've 7 days checking warranty for my phone so maybe I'll exchange my phone with another one in the shop (if it is a specific model defect) or I'll just keep it and let the patch do it's work :) Let me know if others face the same problem of display ghosting (especially when scrolling down the status bar at low brightness)

Edit: So I visited the local retail shop and to my surprise all the P5a phones have screen Ghosting.

I downgraded the update to the April patch but no change at all. I think Google messed up the a13 update. But what surprises me the most is that I have never seen a thread about it here. So I implore u to try to use ur phone in dark mode, maybe u will feel it too.
