Physics based animations? Fuck off. Waste of time, effort and CPU. I want my phone to last longer and work better, not look slicker.

[-] d00ery@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

I turn off all the animations using dev menu so my phone feels faster

[-] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 2 weeks ago

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 :/

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

I passionately hate Google's design teams

[-] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

This looks cheap too. I hate huge margin zoomed in UIs

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Just one more settings redesign man. I promise, just one more. Just one more design, I swear.

[-] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You need a bigger screen! (/s of course)

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's just that UI designers are getting older.

[-] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

What the fuck. Is that the new UI? Blur everywhere. Looks like xiaomi knock off.

[-] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I hate blurs on UI, subtle here and there is fine but this comes at the expense of contrast.

[-] kylian0087@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

Seems like Android is following Windows 11s path...

Hey now, XP was good! Vista sucked, and it was the one that pushed hard on animations.

[-] jnod4@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Google my new phone is going to be any third option available

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Tin cans and waxed string it is!

[-] UnityDevice@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The first two videos merely change the animation curve

Exactly, these were not at all "Physics-based" animation, from the looks of them. I don't think the author knows what that means...

[-] Fake4000@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

I remember when they introduced material design and people kept pointing out where Google didn't respect their own guidelines

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I guess we were all getting used to them, eh. Including them.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sure but them releasing new apps without respecting them? That was pretty ironic.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It was 🤭

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I remember being hopeful.

[-] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

I buy an Android phone because the IOS Ui is fucking trash and takes years to display what I want it to display, not because I want it ro be as shitty as Android

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

I dislike that.
I want my dark interface back >:(

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Does this remove dark mode? I don't think so, right?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Assuming the style is preserved, it would be likely look like Windows11.

And I don't like that on my phone.

[-] SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You mean in some other article than this one in this post?

[-] SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Very oneUI of them.
