Based on the article I'm just writing my experience around the nougat update, what I did to try and resolve some of the issues and general thoughts.
After installing the update, my first impressions were that it was very slow. Launching the camera would take a good 5-10 seconds, and my battery was depleting at very quick speed - a full charge would depleat around 3-4 hours. I also couldn't do quick charge - a full charge was around 3 hours according to the battery usage estimate. Since I was travelling when I did the upgrade I thought I had damaged the cord or the charger, I ended up replacing both of them twice ( one was knock off charger and cable, and the second was from a more reputable brand). I also bought the spare battery and charging cradle since I couldn't be tethered to power to use the phone.
After arriving at a friend's house , I did some initial research and I came across a post where someone had described their issues and they resolved it by uninstalling the next launcher. I was using this launcher as well, so I uninstalled the launcher ... And immediately my phone battery life improved 100 folds. It was performing better than what I had previously, even before the update and the quick charging was working again.
However I still have some sluggish behaviour when I go to recent apps, or when I switch from front camera to rear camera. But the general camera loading speed is near what I had prior to the update. I'm not sure what I can do to resolve this, I might do a factory reset when I get back home.
I'm also not a great fan of the quick settings, I think the white and small icons make it look a little too bare. I would have preferred slightly larger icons to fill up the space.
I tried the multi window a couple of times, however I don't know if I'm going to use this as regularly as some other people. The main use for me is when I watch a YouTube video and I want to check my emails quickly.
