Introducing Material 3 Expressive Design

Google announced Material 3 Expressive, built upon Material You for Android 16, that is coming later this year, starting on Pixel.

Unlike BBK and Xiaomi which just blatantly copies iOS, Google notes that Material 3 Expressive was born out of research.

Over the past 3 years, through 46 separate research studies with hundreds of designs, and more than 18,000 participants from around the world, we’ve fine tuned a system that’s both beautiful and highly usable.

Background blur in the QS, Notifications panel & Recents adds a sense of depth & preserves context when navigating your device. When dismissing a notification, you’ll feel a “satisfying haptic rumble,” while other alerts next to it will “subtly respond to your drag.”

The updated design language includes new responsive components, “emphasized” typography, and “updated dynamic color themes.” The all-new Live Updates feature helps you easily track progress notifications from select apps.
