Android Annoyances

So, I've been living with the Nexus 6P as my daily driver for a while now. In general I've been satisfied, but it's obvious that the honeymoon's over and some issues are really starting to annoy me:
  • 6.0.1 update seemed to make the battery life somewhat worse. I now have to resort to occasional top-up charges during the day despite the beefy battery.
  • I keep missing my e-mails due to notifications not firing. Looks like I'm not alone.
  • It would be nice to get my work email on my phone (however, our workplace policies are more to blame than Android here).
  • Some apps aren't just as good as their iOS counterparts. For example 1Password has an Android version with Nexus Imprint support in development, but it's sure taking its time to arrive. Granted, there are some apps that aren't currently even possible on iOS and I do like the fact that I can pay with my phone on Android as Apple Pay is still not available in Finland, but still some of key apps I use regularly not being as good on Android as they are on iOS is annoying.
  • I just can't seem to find any decent waterproof cases for the 6P. iPhones have lots of options available and I was happy with the Catalyst case I had for my iPhone 6.
If the camera weren't as good as it is especially in the low light, I'd most likely be eyeing the 6s Plus right now, but with the camera being actually good I'll try to survive with the 6P for a little longer and hope that the problems get sorted out.

UPDATE: My 6P was kind enough to remind me that I had actually forgotten one issue from my list, i.e. wifi just deciding to stop transferring any data at some random point in time. I need to toggle wifi off and back on again every now and then to be able to e.g. open links. Annoying.
