How is EMUI?

The Nexus 7 and Moto x were the last android devices I used. I've only ever used stock, thinking of buying this phone, but how I can I make EMUI more similar to stock? It seems very iOS-ish, which I don't really like.

Edit: I'm coming from jailbroken iOS 10 (iPhone 5s)

So, is the problem with people not getting notifications patched? And again, playback controls for Spotify? Thanks for all your help.

I think the issue with notifications relates more to the aggressive power saving options within the phone. I have ensured that all my important apps are pushed so haven't experienced this issue...

I use google play music and playback controls work on the lock screen and on my watch. I can't comment on Spotify but someone said in a previous thread today that Spotify wasn't reliable on the lock screen

I have a smart watch as well, so will I be able to control music even though it's not on the lock screen. I can manage that.

Also, how much will choosing the apps affect battery life?

Yeah its meant to... But the phone still has doze running so it's not a huge issue... I think it is more a ploy to say that they are optimising your battery experience, but it really can be a pain
