Thanks for the link.

Wow not really too much that entices me with that top 10 list.

Looks like the big things from that list are the new Doze and Multiwindow.

The virtual reality business and split screen doesn't interest me much. The new notifications where I can deal with a notification right from the notification is nice. I did a factory restore a few days ago and was surprised at how quick it was. It was the lengthy "optimizing applications" that was missing. I only have 60 apps but the optimizing apps was still a lengthy process. Screen zoom is great. I have it sat to largest so I can see things better, I'm old, and I also have the font set to largest. Being able to adjust the font size and screen size to suit you is very nice.

I usually charge my phone before I got to bed and turn the phone off with the battery at 100%. When I get up in the morning it's still at 100%. Up to Android 6, the phone would lose some juice overnight with the phone "off". When I start up in the morning the device boots noticeably quicker. Mine is around 30 seconds. Not that I'm in a big hurry.

I like Android 7 and the beta version is running fairly well for me. When I first switched to beta 3 my Kindle app didn't work well but within two days it had updated and was working okay. My other apps worked fine. I've downloaded a couple of new apps, mostly dealing with photos, that don't work but that isn't critical at this point.

Thanks for the link. The profile guided JIT / AOT compilation sound great but I'm not sure what they are. Faster operation and less memory used has to be good, though.

I'm a big fan of Android N notifications, but it's the Chrome-like approach to updates that has me more interested in grabbing a newer phone than anything else on the list. (Course I don't own an Android tablet, and I'm still waiting for AR or VR to seem practically useful to me.)
