The company updated Android last year with the Material 3 expressive visual style, and we generally thought it was a great move. This redesign included more blur effects, new animations, refreshed icon shapes and typography, and an overhauled, fully customizable quick settings menu. So we hope Google continues to follow suit with upcoming Android releases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>The Android Show will take place on May 12 at 1:00 pm ET and will be streamed via YouTube.
