A new leak suggests that Android 17 could offer more blur effects. Now, we’ve got a close look at these newly blurred elements.
The headline is misleading, the pictures in the article are nothing like Apple’s liquid glass, blur with transparency is not liquid glass.
The pictures show something that’s usable and not a accessibility nightmare… well almost, I mean some areas still have a bit too much transparency but for a prototype its not terrible.
Please no. It’s pretty bad on apple‘s platforms already.
Agreed, but the poll on the website shows more people vote for ‘more blurr’ too (tho 500+ votes don’t say all). I really don’t like were this is going…
Seriously, that alone should be obvious enough that this was a stupid idea? Which clown thought this was a good idea? Boy am I glad I’m on Samsung, at least they keep the fashion disaster that’s Material U at bay.
But…must…copy…Apple…
No no no, fuck. Android reached peak usability design with Material Design 2. Material You was a small step backwards. But I’m really unprepared for Liquid Ass.
If material was a small step backwards with the all white design, is like saying a mountain is a speed bump. It was the reason I sought out any app alternatives and didn’t upgrade many apps for a long time. Whoever greenlit that all white blinding design should have had their eyes checked.
Android has almost caught up to Aero which was released with Windows Vista in 2006. What an amazing Google innovation, it only took them 20 years.
It may be controversial but I like the glass design. Atleast, on the homescreen. Smartlauncher bought Adaptive themes, frosted glass before everyone now also includes apple’s liquid glass theme take.
I’m conflicted about this in the notification shade but we will see how OEMs implement this on their UIs.
gotta stay on android 11 till linux phones… fuck
Android powers the vast majority of the world’s phones and yet Google is still aping Apple.
That’s primarily because Apple devices are more expensive. Not because people don’t want them.
By that logic 90% of the world would use preowned iPhones. People use Android because they like Android more than iOS.
Even pre-owned iPhones cost more than Android devices.
