My first real-life experience with Android Pie

I have a Vivo phone that comes with Oreo, a couple of days later my phone receives a message about a new Android version has been downloaded and ready for installing.

I ignored the message for several days until yesterday... I clicked the Install button and Boom... my phone has been transformed from Oreo to Pie.
 
Despite the update file weighing almost 3GB, the installation only takes a couple of minutes. The phone restarted as smoothly as it should.

I spent the night playing with the new Android version, no problem so far, there is a dark mode that could be a good choice for phones with OLED screen.

I like the fact that with the same settings and apps running in background, Pie comsumes a bit less memory than Oreo, I always have 300~500MB of extra free RAM after the same usage.

I know that new phones usually come with 6GB or even 8GB of RAM so that amount isn't significant, but I liked it nonetheless.
