With every update, less information fits on the screen. The toggles got even bigger again this time. I just want to have 8 toggles in my pull down menu again :/
This looks cheap too. I hate huge margin zoomed in UIs
Just one more settings redesign man. I promise, just one more. Just one more design, I swear.
You need a bigger screen! (/s of course)
It's just that UI designers are getting older.
Physics based animations? Fuck off. Waste of time, effort and CPU. I want my phone to last longer and work better, not look slicker.
I turn off all the animations using dev menu so my phone feels faster
Same. But I have noticed lately in more recent Android versions it doesn't always apply to everything. It's also a waste of dev time that could be put into literally anything else.
What the fuck. Is that the new UI? Blur everywhere. Looks like xiaomi knock off.
Yeah, I hate blurs on UI, subtle here and there is fine but this comes at the expense of contrast.
Seems like Android is following Windows 11s path...
WindowsXP
Hey now, XP was good! Vista sucked, and it was the one that pushed hard on animations.
Hey are you saying glass was a bad design decision!? ... ...
Fuck Google my new phone is going to be any third option available
Tin cans and waxed string it is!
These are such minor changes. The first two videos merely change the animation curve - that's the animation equivalent of changing the colour of a button.

Exactly, these were not at all "Physics-based" animation, from the looks of them. I don't think the author knows what that means...
Google till this day has a lot of their apps display stuff and buttons inconsistently.
I am sure the new UI update will bring those back across different screens.
I remember when they introduced material design and people kept pointing out where Google didn't respect their own guidelines
I guess we were all getting used to them, eh. Including them.
Sure but them releasing new apps without respecting them? That was pretty ironic.
It was 🤭
Oh, I remember being hopeful.
I dislike that.
I want my dark interface back >:(
Does this remove dark mode? I don't think so, right?
Assuming the style is preserved, it would be likely look like Windows11.
And I don't like that on my phone.
The dark mode quick settings background will be the same as light mode, just with a slightly darker gray. It's somewhere on the android authority website if you really want to see it
You mean in some other article than this one in this post?
Yeah...
Android authority has like 8000 different articles about the UI refresh or whatever. It was very annoying trying to see more than just one thing
Huh. The Google News Telegram channel is sleeping on this news then. First I've heard about it.
I'm excited about change though. Life is change.
Very oneUI of them.
