All I see is more CPU/GPU power being given to irrelevant things that does nothing but make older devices run slower from the excess overhead.
For most, except those with the newest devices, this will be a downgrade unless they change settings to reduce the use of animations. Not sure if there will be an option to disable the blur but I hope so.
That was my first thought too. I thought the whole reason Android moved away from animation bloat was to improve performance, but everyone seems to be heading back in the opposite direction now. Samsung's OneUI 7 also added tons of animations that have no functional benefit.
I turn off so much crap as it is, and crank all animations down to 0.5 (I'd go lower but this is just fast enough to no have stutter). I don't need iOS-slow animations that "look cool", I got shit to do.
why would they need to do things that actually matter like privacy and security lol
they got foss chads doing the hard work on that so they can circle jerk rounded edges and square
I don't think the UI designers are the people who usually with on security features
Who make decisions where money is spent?
The designers are already hired and trained, the money is already spent
And grapheneoss work is being incorporated upstream 🤡
Probably a big reason they keep the AOSP project open!
They are actively undermining it now and trying to take everything not nailed down in house tho
