Moto G 3rd Generation : Android 6.0 vs Android 6.0.1 -

Battery -

Android 6.0 Marshmallow Battery life vs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Battery Life

After Marshmallow 6.0.1 update the Battery life got terrible , Battery will be draining a lot faster than even Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I mean even Marshmallow 6.0 was eating A lots of battery over Lollipop . And 6.0.1 just came to make it more worse !

On Android 6.0 Marshmallow ,When Charged Battery to 100% , Battery lasted for 1 day, 1 hours, 3 minutes , After a normal usage .
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow , When Charged Battery to 100% , Battery lasted for 15 hours, 43 minutes , After a normal usage .

WTH ? Seriously ? Android 6.0.1 just made the battery life worst !

Dialler -

Android 6.0 Marshmallow Dialler vs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Dialler

The new Marshmallow 6.0.1 Dialler is almost same as Android 6.0 Marshmallow Dialler . There is nothing new but the Name Text is Appearing a bit Bolder .

USB Computer Connection -

Android 6.0 Marshmallow USB Connection vs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow USB Connection

Android 6.0 Marshmallow has a dark interface popup for USB connection option and Android 6.0.1 has a light interface popup for USB connection with some information about the type of connection ( PTP , MIDI , etc) .

Overview -

The update literally made my Moto G 3rd Generation worst ! I mean not only 6.0.1 , even 6.0 was the worst update for Moto G3 . But still 6.0 was better than 6.0.1 . My Moto G 3rd Generation stood only for 15 hours after a normal use and The time it was running on 5.1.1 Lollipop , It made a score of running for 1 Day , 7 hours !                                                                                                                   What was Android 6.0.1 update ? It came with some fixes for the bugs that came with 6.0 only ? The update just Rectified only some of the mistake it caused in 6.0 Marshmallow .             My Moto G3 has just became worst after this 6.0.1 Update !
