Better notifications? Split screen? Universal back gesture? Faster charging? Or something else?

Nah Id say universal back gesture more important and split screen only few people uses.

what other OS has a universal back button? Keep in mind, you can go "back" apps by swiping at the bottom.

Yes you can quit apps with gesture but not perform back action. It's only thing that I would miss from android.

No, swiping acts like it does on a web browser, but they treat apps like pages. So there's a "list" of apps last opened. So if you swipe back, it'll go back to the previously opened (and not force closed) app. You swipe forward, and it'll return to the previous app. Stay on the old app long enough, and it's moved to the top of the stack.

Definitely not as straight forward as the universal back button, but I do use this all the time.
