a few things i've noticed while using pie:
- battery life seems about the same, though the hours remaining estimator is a bit more optimistic.
- the autorotate button that shows up in the nav bar if you rotate your phone while autorotate is off is a nice touch. I really don't know why android never really took more advantage of having soft buttons in the first place by adding contextual buttons like this.
- dual apps works, it's hidden under "extensions" menu in settings. but the number of apps available is very limited (no instagram, for example)
- the pie gesture nav buttons will not work with custom launchers it seems for app switching (i think if the launcher has a vertical scrolling menu). i don't find it any faster or even intuitive to use... flipping apps with a double tap of the old app switcher was pretty simple already!
