I am extremely upset over the crap performance of my S6 after the update. In fact it has frozen. So many posts of the same complaint, it signifies that it is unfortunately true.
Samsung has definitely lost me as a customer. Sadly, I have had 3 Samsung phones but will switch to iphone. I regretted the update.

After "upgrade", putting my ear to phone which is one way of using my phone, the thing goes into airplane mode. Hummmmm. Who put the airplane mode icon where my ear goes and who would want to got to AP mode during a call? so my ear touches the AP mode icon and i go to AP mode. Maybe cut my ear off to simplify software or wear ear muffs? Phone also opens a new window and wants to convert voice to text?? I have hung up on my 86 year old mom 3 times, bad karma. Now use Bluetooth headset to protect phone from my ear. As far as the phones new Phone call GUI (graphical user interface) i am not pleased!

I have been very happy with all the past updates, except this one. The only part that I do like is the addition of more emoticons, especially the flag section. That's it tho. I'm not having battery probs, I'm having android system probs. i get a notice that "The Android System has stopped working." And that's it. It does not tell me anything else to do.
Not happy with this at all. It seems less functional than it was before. It looks like an older outdated version and there are flaws, many flaws. I hope Samsung realizes this and puts out a better update, soon!

Any S6 users having trouble with Spotify stopping after several seconds, or any video on Facebook or Youtube? This all started after the update. Keyboard issues as well...closing while I'm in the middle of texting or messenger etc...I thought this might clear up after a few days. Sadly still causing problems.

So anytime you have unwanted change people panic. The bad of the update: apps I have shut down keeps restarting on their own. I now have removed a few of the apps. Not sure why this happens. Yes font is smaller and keyboard is a bit different but still usable. Camera issues with the inability to connect to a server and I have to restart it, a lot. The overall usability is good because of a learning curve and I am sure the more I use it the better I will feel about it. It reminds me of the HTC Sense interface. Now if you bought a Android you like to customize so why go to Iphone? Better yet, Go and be stuck with what they want you to have.

The update is great. I have high battery improvement and this is real. Very nice look, too with Nougat. I like it. Waiting for the new Galaxy Note 8.

Oh God, what were they thinking. This update is AWFUL. Maybe in time I'll find some improvements in it, but right now they've taken something which worked really well, had the best user interface on the market and replaced it with something far far worse.
