By Google has accidentally unveiled its next major Android redesign: Material 3 Expressive. In a now-defunct blog post discovered by 9to5Google, the business described the move as the “most researched” upgrade ever, to make its UI more appealing and easier to use.
The Wayback Machine and 9to5 have archived versions of the removed webpage. Google has shared some of the photographs not stored on the website. As stated in the post, Google created Material 3 Expressive after 46 rounds of design and research with over 18,000 individuals. The design employs colour, form, scale, and motion to make a thing “more usable.” It will also have its session at Google I/O later this month,
Androids new design language
Google conducted study on topics such as where participants focused their attention on a design, how they responded to alternative looks, and how quickly they comprehended an interface. The company also assessed individual features, such as “which progress indicator made the waiting time feel faster” and “how big a button can be for positive improvements in tap time without overwhelming other items.”
Google claims that their Material 3 Expressive design allows users to find crucial features in the interface up to four times faster than the original Material 3 design. It also claims that Material 3 Expressive “seems to level the playing field for users of all ages,” citing the design’s ability to help people over 45 notice interface features as quickly as younger users.
Androids new design language
Over the last several days, stories have surfaced indicating that Google intends to release improvements to Android’s user interface, including revised status bar icons (such as the battery indication), a new clock font, and a rewritten fast settings menu. Other leaks have also revealed changes to the Google Clock app.
At the time of writing, Google has not reprinted the blog post, and it is unclear when the company plans to officially introduce Material 3 Expressive. The Verge contacted Google for more information, but did not receive an instant response.
