Remarks after the first week with Super

Arhundel

So I've had my Super for a week already and decided to share some initial thoughts with the community.

First of all the phone seems much more 'hi-end' than the Touch, the frame surrounding the device's edges and the way it fits one's hand make it much more pleasant both to carry and look at.

The screen is much more responsive than in its predecessor, so far I had no problems with any touch-related tasks. The only minor disadvantage in this area is the overzealous auto-brightness functionality which changes the backlight intensity much too often and much too quickly.

The speaker audio quality and volume are not really satisfying, even after minor tweaking of the latter from the engineer mode. I'd say that any mentions of the hi-end audio quality should be removed from the specs.

Speaking about the software, the biggest problem so far is the complete lack of the push notifications when the device is sleeping (in general - when the screen is off). I tried applying many advices considered in lengthy topics about such issues all over the Net, but I'll probably have to re-flash my device soon, unless some fota fixes this.

Another thing is the permanent app permission management notification (which is the problem from early Lollipop days). Why is there a notification about that at all?  The toggle in the security settings would do.

Last point that would be very convenient to have would be the possibility to configure the hardware buttons as <running apps overview>, <home> <<Google Now>>, <back>, which is the default binding in the virtual button mode anyhow.
