Haven't had a bunch of time to mess with this tonight, but I really like being able to launch Google Assistant by sliding up from the bottom bezel. Works on either side of the FPS, too.
 
I like the overall look & feel. Plus, I think it's a bit faster & smoother too.
 
I like that the app drawer was added back. Don't like that when I enabled it, my home screen settings and layout were not applied. Interesting though, when I switched back to the default home screen my original layout was there, like two independent home screen setups.

Also like the layout of the new system menus.
 
It does seem a bit quicker, not that I found it slow before. My only issue with emui4 was the lack of an app drawer, now that it's been included in EMUI5, it's great. I have the Mate 9 that has EMUI5 so it's nice to have the consistency.
 
Battery life is better on Nougat.
Since I use a Pixel launcher it is difficult to comment a lot about EMUI.
I do like how the EMUI 5.0/Nougat notifications and settings drop down work well with the Pixel launcher - almost stock like feel.
 
This update is great... Love the tablet before even more now.

Battery is even better. This thing doesn't lose any battery while off.

3.5 hours of screen time
