TL;DR<\/p>\n
\n
Google is testing a major visual improvement for Gemini on Android.<\/li>\n
The interface brings brighter, more saturated colors with new icons.<\/li>\n
Additionally, we also see a redesigned sidebar that takes up more space on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
We were able to activate these changes by making changes inside the Google app, version 17.16.21. Although these changes are not live for users, we have an exclusive preview for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As part of the upcoming overhaul of Gemini on Android, the existing sky-blue background may be replaced with a more saturated blue with a subtle gradient. We also discovered a different background for dark mode, replacing the current all-black interface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
