At The Android Show, Google showed off Android's new look, the new platforms where you'll be able to access Gemini and expanded security features coming in Android 16.

Fonts and typography are more emphasized, and Android 16 has more dynamic color themes, giving you more control over the operating system's look, even in supported apps. Much of it is functional too—Google's letting you squeeze more settings into the Quick Settings drawer, so you can quickly access tools like the Flashlight or Do Not Disturb mode.
