Is Marshmallow a significant upgrade over Lollipop ?

[GoodEnough]

Worth getting a new phone that runs Marshmallow ?
Any game changer updates? Or just meh?

Sure. I have been liking now on tap and better audio controls.

What do you use Now on Tap for? It's only worked a fraction of the times I've remembered to try and use it. The last time, it refused to make an appointment when I bothered to actually go back and try it out.

Doze is very significant

Doze is very significant

agree

(though I upgraded from a kitkat nexus 5 to marshmallow 6P)

Marsh also supports Adaptable Storage, bringing back FULL 3rd party application support for micro SD cards (although you sacrifice the ability to remove said storage and read it elsewhere).

My motox updated a couple of days ago. I've just got home at 3pm with 66% battery left. Unplugged at 6am. My normal workday leaves me with approx 40% at 4:30pm so doze seems to have had an immediate effect.

I've only just received that functionality, but aside from that?

Seriously, I would like to use it, but it kind of sucks right now.

I used it a lot recently while traveling trying to make and coordinate plans in a city I have never been to.

I have also found Now on tap being somewhat useful and interesting while traveling in places where I am not familiar with. Other than that, though, I have not found much use yet.

My 2013 N7 is more responsive overall on 6.01; however, I gotta say I am not crazy about the absolute barrage of settings now available. This "feature" was actually part of 5.1.1, but it's still a PITA to find the setting you need quickly. At least Android no longer not feels primitive since KitKat.
