Well, you sound as if you've had a bad experience. But every phone I've had that upgraded from 5 to 6 was improved upon in the process... 6.0 had a long list of enhancements over 5.1. but the upgrade path is not always a smooth one. Every major upgrade has had its share of growing pains, particularly carrier specific phones. But M was superior in near every way over L.Since Marshmallow I no longer get excited, nor even care about Android updates. An update isn't always an improvement.
I agree that Marshmallow has improvements over Lollipop, but my main gripe with M is the battery life, or lack thereof.Well, you sound as if you've had a bad experience.

N is the same way. I've been running the beta builds for a while now and preview 5 is excellent on both my 6P and 5X. Smooth, stable, extremely polished.
It's no shock to me that N might come soon, DP5 feels like a released product already.
What device? My M and N battery life are both fantastic compared to my L devices (Moto X 2014 and Nexus 6). Granted I haven't used L on anything since December.I agree that Marshmallow has improvements over Lollipop, but my main gripe with M is the battery life, or lack thereof.

Well it was much better in Q2 2015 than the S6, but the S6 was remarkably bad. Many devices since then are notably better at battery life, but the G4 isn't running pure Marshmallow so it's possible that their modifications to the firmware could be grossifying performance.LG G4, which apparently has one of the best batteries on the market.

I suggest you do a Google search on G4 users whose battery life decreased since updating to Marshmallow as there are many. It may not solely be related to M, but how the G4 handles M. So either way yes it has got to do with M for some users.Your issues have nothing to do with M. Android 6.0 brought a ton of power efficient features to the table.
Now, there are device exceptions... But the phones I've owned that have upgraded to M... Nexus 6 and LG G4 (which wasn't all that good to begin with by the way) , both showed measurable improvements in power usage. I'm not sure what happened to your G4, but my wife's unit gained a good 30+ minutes of a available screen time due to idle drain improvements from Doze... Nexus 6 gained even more.
And N comes with an update to Doze that improves upon that even further.
Now, I'm not belittling you problems, far from it, but I'm commenting because I don't want the uninitiated to freak out and worry. M, and now N, were significant upgrades.

I can't see why if DP5 is so polished they'd wait for October. I really hope that they release it in early to mid august, and i doubt that it's that far away during as the Huawei P9 recently had its N build leaked. I wonder how long it will take Lenovorola to get my Moto G⁴ Plus Nougat.

They also say it will be the "...world's first phone to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat". Nexus devices are usually the first phones to be released alongside the latest Android release. Some food for though until 7.0 is released and information on the new batch of Nexus devices are announced.Yes. Also, LG confirmed that the new V20 will release is September with Nougat.

Probably will be Q1, if not Q2 for any device that's not a nexus d3vice..... sucks.
Well said....a lot of times new Android updates actually slow phones down. But people are enchanted by having something shiny and new and so do it. On the HTC m8 I went from KitKat to Marshmallow. Marshmallow has nice features but definitely doesn't run faster than KitKat. Although admittedly Marshmallow runs faster than lollipop.Since Marshmallow I no longer get excited, nor even care about Android updates. An update isn't always an improvement.
