Got my download and as usual had to deep dive into the settings menu to see what was up. By default, you insist on leaving on all the Google telemetry and memory hungry, memory resident apps, processes and services. Once I stripped it down, crippled it and made it just a useless waste of space on my devices. My devices perform as usual.

Any time I go from 4 days of battery life to 2 days a red flag. I can not imagine how many others are dealing with this issue. Of out of memory messages. This needs a toggle off permanent fix. But I am no newbie to Android so its routine for me to strip it down to bare bones wanted apps, processes and services. 

Is anyone using or testing these updates?

Android is a Google system.  Google decides what is on by default in Android updates.  You can easily, as you seem to have done, get rid of, deactivate, strip down those apps so your phone is a lean, mean processing machine.

@iboughtitiownit What tablet do you have?

Not seeing any issue on my Tab S10+.

Did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? I recommend that you do this after every device update. It wipes out incompatible or outdated cache information which might be incompatible after the update. It does not erase any user data nor applications.

To wipe the device cache partition:

1. Power off your device and connect it via USB to your phone or computer.
2. Power up while holding down the Volume up key and the Side key until the Samsung logo appears. 
3. An Android recovery menu will appear.
4. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Wipe cache partition.
5. Click the side key to select it.
6. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Yes. 
7. Click the side key to select it. The Cache will be wiped almost instantaneously. 
8. Click the side key to select "Reboot system now"
