Every android update since 5 had made my phone at least twice as fast (ui) and maybe 20% extra battery!

Of course, I don't rely on manufacturer updates.

blink So, Pie will be 16x as fast (ui) on the same hardware as Lollipop?
I wondered if anyone would pull me up on this :D

I was of course careful to say had, and obviously this rested on the fact that lollipop was so universally shit for the ui.

Also, of you think about a ui getting faster, a fixed 200 percentage increase peer iteration, means the absolute speed increase gets relatively smaller as they approach zero.
