I decided to upgrade yesterday at night, and the procedure was very fast (in less than an hour) without problems.

So, it's my pleasure share my review from this new version

Pros:

Moto gestures and moto actions are the same and didn't changed at all

All my settings and configurations are untouched and working like a charm. There was no need to make a previous backup

In general, the device keeps the good battery life, same ability processing tasks loaded in ram and the old reliable processor speed. Also, the RIL (Radio Interface Layer), 4G, Wifi, Bluetooth and the signal quality are the same used to be before change.

Of course, we have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 64 bits processor, but we are running the new Android 10 in 32 bits. Pokemon Go is working fine (at least while Niantic reconsider the new standards for Google ARCore in 64 bits devices).

The boot animation is a little bit longer than Android 9 but is not a great trouble.

The animations remains the same we used to see in Android 9.

No lags, no unexpected stopping / autoclosing processes, no shutdown issues (for now)

Now, we can choose styles (colors, text typhography, app icon styles) and change the cyan color in the user interface. Also, the dark theme is fully enabled in all the UI.

The notifications just have two options: watch them or discard them. There's no chance to the old Android 9 dismiss half way. We have discrete notifications now as a replament.

Currently, the screen capture menu is very tiny but is really complete and useful just as Android 9 used to be

Unlocking options like fingerprint and pin code remains untouched.

All the previously installed applications works like a charm, except Camera and Google photos (they will be explained in the Cons)

The icons in Android status bar (in the upper right corner) looks a little rare (specifically the Data-4G signal, Wi-Fi signal and battery remaining capacity. They look almost as the previously icons in Android 9 and is not a problem their new look.

----------------------------------------------------------

Cons:

The new clock gadget doesn't show anymore the battery remaining percentage in the main home screen. It only shows the battery duration when the phone is locked.

When using Google photos app, the deleting operation is slower than expected.

Deleted or deleted photos remains as gray squares for a few seconds and the desired files finally gets deleted, but this does not occur immediately like in the past.

Note: This can be atributed to the microSD speed used as my external storage, but the same happens with downloaded files in the internal storage.

So, the issue is not in the storage and clearly is not in the permissions, because moto Camera and Google photos have external SD writing permissions granted.

Google photos and moto Camera are not synchronized, I mean they don't cooperate because the ability to delete photos from moto Camera is slower than usual and the photo looks impossible to delete.

Finally, the deleted photos remains showing and you must insist even six or seven times for delete one single file at time

Moto camera vibrates when you take a photo and that behavior is new for me

The up and down volume rockers take photos and doesn't change the zoom as used to be and cannot be configured.

There's no way to delete and check several photos at same time from moto Camera and if you can get it, the deleting operation takes a lot of time.

Deleting cache, app data from both applications helped a lot but didn't solve the difficulty

Maybe this discordination between moto Camera and Google photos can be related to the old Android 9 settings transfered to the new OS, and of course, incompatible versions.

A further update for moto Camera and/or Google photos would solve the issue
