It's worse than before as long as it doesn't keep anything in memory. Without an app running in the background there's no multitasking because the device will perform only the foreground task.

I mean, compared with the previous versions there is definitely an improvement in multitasking. Of course, multitasking is far from perfect but it's definitely better than before.

No optical zoom. It just crops and upscales the image. HDR is indeed faster but I've noticed that in some occasions HDR breaks down the image (unpleasant pixelisation mainly in skies and clouds, if it happens). Also, I would say that AWB is a bit inconsistent.

First impressions after update for me are:
Seems to work faster all around ; opening apps, listing between apps or in app; flyme browser also maybe a bit faster.
Camera is definitely faster in HDR mode, earlier it needed like 1-2 sec to save picture in HDR mode, now that time is at least cut in half so that good news...
Face unlock works good for now, gonna have to test in low light...
Of course its not perfect and its gonna need tweaks here and there, but it is good news to finally have something being done about this OS on meizu...

One question though : this new zoom option in camera app; 1x to 2x ; does this camera have optical zoom or it's just cropping image ?

Edit:
Also I have one big upgrade to note: App managment seems to be improved, now when I close app with home button and when I relaunch it again it opens exatcly where I left it.
This was not the case in earlier versions; for example in old versions when I had closed youtube app while reading lets say comments, and then when I relaunched it, it actually opened app all over again thus not even openning comments section which was frustrating but now it seems to just relaunch app from where it was closed...I dont know about you guys but for me this is great deal that is finally being fixed.

yeah very bad it's even worse than Samsung's old TouchWiz UI

I totally agree with you

didn't get the OTA update and I did manually download but the update isn't installing. it acts as if it wants to but reboots to flyme 6. it's a bummer.

+I installed the update and I think that mobile works better faster and smooth
The face unlock works great
The camera has now time delay for auto photos
The launcher doesnt change on restart

-
I dont see the gif option in camera
the live background change to black screen after restart
The clean up useless files doesnt work
The alarm still not working when phone is turned off

Some apps open and close immediately and dont run
Any solution ?

What do you mean "anymore"? Did you get an update that resolved the issue? Because it does exist and has been reported by me and others already.

I really don't have that problem anymore. The only time I noticed my apps in the background reloading is when I wasn't using them for some time.
