Here's what I like and dislike about Android's new Expressive design
If you've installed the stable version of Android 16 on your Pixel, you might be disappointed to find that the big visual refresh Google announced on May 13 is conspicuous by its absence. An unfortunate consequence of the new platform release schedule is that some of the more notable new Android 16 features won't be arriving until the Android 16 QPR1 update in early September. That means that even though there's plenty of goodness in the initial stable release — like Live Updates and adaptive apps — most people will have to wait a little longer before getting their eyes on the Material 3 Expressive redesign and trying out the nifty new desktop mode.
If you're happy to run beta software on your daily driver, or you have a spare Pixel lying about, the QPR1 Beta has been available to test since May 20. It includes plenty of redesigned interfaces, fresh animations, updated typography, and new features. I've been testing out the beta, which is on its third version at the time of writing with QPR1 Beta 2, and there's lots to dissect. Some of the changes are most welcome, while some of them have me scratching my head — let's get into it.
The good
Whenever Google makes substantial changes to Android's UI, you can bet the notification shade and quick settings panel will be updated in some meaningful way. Android 16 is no exception, and the new quick settings toggles are probably my favourite upgrade in this release.
After being limited to just four wide tiles at the top of the notification shade since the introduction of Material You with Android 12, we're now treated to editable tiles that can be 1×2 or 1×1. This means it's possible to fit up to 8 toggles in the same space, and up to 16 if you swipe down again for the full quick settings panel. You can also mix and match single and double-width tiles to your liking.

As well as more control over the appearance of quick settings toggles, another welcome change is the ability to switch Bluetooth or Do Not Disturb on or off with a single tap. If you use a 1×1 tile for either of these, a quick tap toggles them on/off, while a long press brings up a dialog with more info and settings. If you use the wider 1×2 tile, tapping the icon on the left toggles them on/off, tapping the text opens the dialog, and long pressing anywhere takes you to the full settings page. These now function more like they did before Android 12, which will please lots of users who were sad to see it change.
Moving north from the quick settings panel, we arrive at another sizable departure from the last few versions of Android — the status bar icons have been completely redesigned. This is likely to be divisive, as Google is essentially aping iOS icons here, but I quite like the new style. The WiFi icon now has three separate and very rounded sections. The cell signal icon is now made up of four increasingly tall bars, and the dual-SIM version is split into two horizontally, rather than showing two distinct signal icons for each one. The order of these two icons has also been swapped, iOS-style.
Most controversially, the battery icon is now lying down on its side with the battery percentage displayed inside it (if you've got this option turned on). It's also color-coded — it's green while charging, red when low, yellow when battery saver is activated, and white when it's between 21 and 100% and off the charger. I'll admit that the battery percentage is a little harder to read now as it's smaller, but other than that, I think the new icons match Android 16's expressive new look. It's a shame Google had to copy Apple, though.
One way in which Google is particularly expressing the expressiveness of Material 3 Expressive is with the new motion physics system. The new animations have a spring in their step, with a less-than-subtle overshoot creating a natural, bouncy feeling when you expand a notification group or interact with a quick settings toggle.
This new motion system is also complemented by better use of haptic feedback. If you play around with dismissing a notification, you can see and feel it become unstuck from the others when you swipe it far enough to either side. It's a subtle change, but one that adds that extra something to make you feel more connected to what's on the screen.
When Google introduced dynamic color theming with Android 12, a common complaint was that the palettes generated from wallpapers were often too desaturated and pastel colored. This redesign represents something of a course-correction, with a more vibrant set of colors on display across the OS.
The pastels aren't entirely gone, and since a lot of Google's core apps have yet to be updated to Material 3 Expressive (which could take a while), it's not clear how far Google will take it with the new colors. I'm hopeful that the stable version of Android 16 QPR1 will roll out in September with some updated apps and all the bold new color choices Google has teased.
Color is also being applied to more places, such as the new Settings app with its color-coded menu items that allow for quicker navigation. Settings submenus are also easier to parse thanks to more clearly defined subsections inside rounded containers.

On the subject of settings that are easier to navigate, the Wallpaper and Style app has been rejigged. The home and lock screens are now separated by a swipe, and the clock and color options have been organized into submenus. This simplified experience makes much more sense, and it also draws attention to suggested photos for use with brand-new wallpaper effects.
The Magic Portrait feature frames the subject of the photo within a fun shape on the lockscreen with a colored background and then expands to show the full photo when you unlock and go to the homescreen. It's perfect for photos of loved ones or pets, and you can customize the shape and color. There are also weather and cinematic effects, but they're not quite as exciting.

The bad
Something I noticed almost immediately is that notifications in Android 16 QPR1 feel a little cramped. They take up less space vertically when not expanded, and the spacing between elements is a little tighter. While this does mean more content can fit on screen at once, it does give notifications a little less room to breathe, and I can't shake the feeling that they seem squished.
There's also less room for text horizontally because app icons are now larger, and they're also in full color now rather than the monochrome versions from Android 15. The little caret that you use to expand or minimize alerts is now within a squashed container rather than a circle, and it always sits closer to the top of the notification, whereas before this was centered vertically. On a couple of occasions, this has caused me to accidentally press the cross at the top of the silent notification list, which clears them all instantly. The touch target is already small, and making them closer together has led to this frustrating experience.
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority
Clearing silent notifications is one thing, but clearing all of them at once is an even more destructive action. This is especially irksome as I like to leave notifications as a reminder to do something later or just until I'm ready to deal with them, as I'm sure many people do. Curiously, Google has made the 'Clear all' button much more prominent, increasing my anxiety that I'll press it in error. I've only managed this once so far, but it's the fear that gets you. If you use the notification history feature, as I do, it's not the end of the world. But I'd love to be able to remove this button altogether. Failing that, a confirmation step or undo button would do the trick.
When you first update to QPR1, you're greeted with a little note on the homescreen explaining that you now have an extra row for app icons. Great, I thought, until I realized that the compulsory At a Glance widget has been made much smaller to create the extra space. I am a fan of the widget, although I still think there should be the option to turn it off if you don't want it. Keeping it there but making it harder to read is not the solution anyone wanted.
Joe Maring / Android Authority
The most minor of my complaints is the addition of crosses and checks to switches across the OS. This feels like a change for the sake of it, as I think the on/off state of these switches was already plenty clear with the previous versions through color and shape differences. The new Settings app is mostly excellent, but this one element adds visual clutter that I think we could do without.
The ugly
It might be a bit harsh to call the new system font ugly, but I do think it's a downgrade. It looks to be a new rounded version of Google/Product Sans, and it's used for the clock, status bar, all across the notifications, quick settings tiles, and lots of places throughout the Settings app. I wouldn't mind this bubbly new typeface were only used sparingly, like for headings and larger text like the clock. I don't think it looks great at smaller sizes, and it lends a slightly childish feeling to the OS overall when it's used this heavily, so I'd love to see Google scale down its use a bit.
My least favorite aspect of Android's latest redesign, by some margin, is the use of transparency and background blur. You'll see it behind the notification shade and quick settings, it's underneath the app drawer, and it's the backdrop for the overview/recents screen.
From a purely aesthetic point of view, I think it looks very dated, but I also think it's very distracting from a usability standpoint. How bad it looks depends on your wallpaper or what screen you're on when a blurred surface is pulled over it. If you're on a very white/dark screen when you pull down the notification shade, it's not that bad, but if you're on a very colorful screen, the blotchy, blurred mess behind the content can be impossible to ignore. The app drawer is the most egregious example, as all the colors of the app icons can clash with your wallpaper, and the app names can be harder to read. I'd also say it looks worse in the daytime, as the effect is more subtle when the dark theme is activated.

Old vs new app drawer UI in the Pixel Launcher
The contrast issues are nowhere near as glaring as with Apple's new Liquid Glass design system on iOS 26 and across its other platforms. But it's still not something I want to see Google copying from its rivals in Cupertino — leave the transparency to Apple and Microsoft. Google has a chance to be the accessibility champion with Android 16, and I'd love to see it differentiate itself by not resorting to blurred backgrounds for core OS features. There's still time to rectify this before the stable release of QPR1, if you're listening.
My least favorite aspect of Android's latest redesign, by some margin, is the use of transparency and background blur.
So those are my takes on the good, bad, and ugly parts of Android's big redesign coming later this year. If you want to give it a go now, you can install the Android QPR1 Beta on your Pixel, but be warned that you may still run into the occasional bug. Is there anything especially good or bad that I missed? If so, let us know down in the comments.

Bush is the first aircraft carrier to sucessfully catapult-launch an unmanned aircraft from its flight deck. The Navy plans to have unmanned aircraft on each of its carriers to be used for surveillance and be armed and used in combat roles. (Photo by U.S. Navy via Getty Images)Advancing the Mix of Defense Capabilities The President's defense budget, released in June, embraces a vision of balancing traditional platforms with new digital technologies—a 'Hedge Strategy'—at a pivotal moment for military modernization. This "high/low" approach, enables the U.S. military to complement its arsenal of (high) expensive defense platforms of ships, tanks and planes with new capabilities such as small, inexpensive, AI-enabled and upgradeable unmanned systems (low). Hedge Strategy is a term coined by Rear Admiral (retired) Lorin Selby and me in a paper we co-authored in 2022. Later that year, Rep. Ken Calvert, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee—Defense (HAC-D), called for adopting new technologies—predominantly commercial technologies—as a hedge strategy and provided increased funding for the concept. Today, the vision is becoming a reality on a much larger scale. America's military arsenal now includes an increasing inventory of unmanned systems across air, sea, and ground, along with a proliferated constellation of small satellites. Harnessing leading commercial technologies, these capabilities weren't mature enough to be on the battlefield a decade ago but have proven instrumental in Ukraine and other recent conflicts. In fact, in describing the War in Ukraine a few weeks ago, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Colin Kahl, observed that this war is a surprising mix of the trenches and artillery shells of World War I with World War III. We haven't left the industrial age of armaments behind, but armaments are now complemented by drones and emerging digital technologies which, in combination, are game-changing capabilities a modern military cannot live without.

(Photo by Genya SAVILOV / AFP) (Photo by GENYA SAVILOV/AFP via Getty Images) Recognizing this, Congress has strongly supported the organizations within the Defense Department which focus on commercial capabilities such as the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), whose budget has increased ten-fold in the last three years to $2 billion for FY26, and the Office of Strategic Capital, which now can offer up to $4 billion in loans for component technologies like batteries and rare-earth magnets that are critical for defense. The Defense Department must pivot quickly to adopt new capabilities to augment what's in place and do so with more cost-effective technologies. In other words, our military must shift from expending the U.S. Navy's multi-million dollar missiles to neutralize Houthi low-cost drone attacks. Additionally, we must embrace more nimble and asymmetric warfare like Ukraine's recent Operation Spider's Web. Systems that provide low-cost, attritable mass, better tactical situational awareness, and optimized decision-making by fusing multi-modal data in real-time all reinforce the mix shift towards new capabilities. Traditional primes like Lockheed Martin and L3Harris, along with emerging primes like Anduril, are advancing lower-cost, mass produced munitions to improve defense-offense cost ratios.

(Photo by)$1 Trillion for Defense The appropriations landscape today is multifaceted. For the current fiscal year—FY25–Congress did not pass a defense budget, so the Defense Department operates under a Continuing Resolution which is less efficient than an on-time budget since a CR usually means no annual spending increases (regardless of inflation) and no new program starts. For next fiscal year—FY26, which begins this October—the President submitted his budget four months late which puts a burden on Congress to appropriate funds on time. The FY26 budget request at $831.5 billion is only slightly larger than last year's $825 billion. WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 03: Members of the House walk up the steps outside the U.S. Capitol during the ... More procedural vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 03, 2025 in Washington, DC. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), President Donald Trump and other Republicans are scrambling to gather enough support to begin debate on Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill. (Photo by) However, Congress recently passed the Big Beautiful Bill (or Reconciliation) which includes $150 billion of additional and multi-year defense spending for the next five fiscal years with $133 billion planned in FY26. Defense spending in FY26 might include the regular appropriation of $831.5 billion plus $133 billion plus around $40 billion for nuclear refurbishment executed by the Department of Energy. This combination pushes top-line defense spending to a record $1 trillion. However, this level of spending, as a percentage of U.S. GDP (estimated at $30 trillion for 2026), is only 3.4% of the economy. Historically, the U.S. has spent much more on defense: 6% in the Reagan build-up, 9% in the Vietnam War and routinely 8-10% in the 1950s. The cost of fighting (and potentially losing) a major war with China is far more costly than what the U.S. spends on defense. With a nod to Ronald Reagan, President Trump's 'Peace through strength' policy means the U.S. must continue to invest to deter adversaries from initiating future wars. A $1 Trillion defense budget is likely to become the norm as geopolitical tensions suggest we will be in a great power competition with multiple capable adversaries for years to come. Our adversaries, especially China, recognize that new technologies can deliver battlefield advantage and our adversaries are sharing military technology and strengthening each other's supply chains. As a result, the race is on to invest in new capabilities and adopt them rapidly to yield a military edge. In addition, the U.S. must rebuild with its allies the ability to sustain manufacturing for the materiel needed in a conflict. Golden Dome, All Types of Unmanned Systems, and AI HawkEye 360 satellites gather signals intelligence data to provide governments with better ... More understanding of activity in regions such as the South China Sea. HAWKEYE 360, HERNDON, VIRGINIA Specifically, there are several initiatives fueling large spending increases that should benefit commercial technology vendors. Perhaps most visible is the President's Golden Dome estimated at three years and $175 billion or more to develop. The FY26 down payment on this initiative is $25 billion with two-thirds for more and better sensors from space that could detect enemy missiles, improvements in standardized satellite manufacturing, and better ways to search and process the increasing amount of space-based imagery. DoD will heavily leverage commercial solutions in delivering Golden Dome. Rendering of Albedo's Clarity-1 in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) capturing exquisite imagery For the first-time, there are large, dedicated budget lines for aerial, ground-based, maritime surface and underwater autonomous systems, totaling $16 billion including AI-based software to control them. A partial list includes $1.4 billion for small unmanned aerial vehicles like the first-person view drones in Ukraine, $2 billion for medium maritime surface autonomy, $.7 billion for underwater autonomy, $1 billion for one-way aerial attack drones, and $3 billion for systems to counter drones.

Designed to be used in a constellation of multiple vessels to counter Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, monitor protected marine areas, secure our maritime borders and maintain overwatch on critical maritime infrastructure In AI-based software, spending will increase 50% from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion according to defense data provider, Obviant. This should significantly expand the military's adoption of AI-based commercial applications such as modeling and simulation for logistics, analyzing the electromagnetic spectrum, code generation and modernization, and other AI-native applications like agentic workflows. The Pentagon's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office recently awarded four contracts (each worth up to $200 million) to the leading large language model providers so that, analogous to the Department's multi-cloud strategy, the Pentagon can make use of multiple models for better decision What? The upshot of this shifting mix of capabilities is a much more favorable environment for commercial technology adoption with opportunities for new vendors. The defense primes have consolidated 90% over the last 30 years to only five companies. While there are only one to three primes competing for major weapon systems, there are dozens of companies producing unmanned systems, software. and space solutions. As the Department buys these new capabilities, there is a much-needed opportunity to expand the supply base. In addition, both the Congress and the Administration have been rapidly ordering changes to streamline the requirements, budget and acquisition processes that underlie the historically long timeframes to deliver new warfighter capabilities. The SPEED Act and FoRGED Act will include some of the biggest reforms in decades much of which will be incorporated in this year's National Defense Authorization Act. The President has already issued six Executive Orders to modernize defense acquisition, realize American drone dominance and rapidly increase shipbuilding capacity. The process changes incorporated in these Orders reinforce existing law that the military should buy commercial first wherever possible (rather than unique military items) and emphasize commercial methods of procurement (leveraging Other Transaction Authority vs. Federal Acquisition Regulations). Additionally, the Department should use a modular open-systems approach when designing large platforms that allows for substituting more capable subsystems on a faster cycle (rather than buying a set specification from a single vendor for decades). These changes create an inflection point for commercial technology adoption. UNITED STATES - MAY 06: Full committee hearing on the "Department of Defense at High Risk: The ... More Chief Management Office's Recommendations for Acquisition Reform and Related High Risk Areas." Witnesses: Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn testifies Location: 2118 Rayburn House Office Building. May 6, 2009. (Photo By Douglas Graham/) In an increasingly dangerous world, we are entering a new era of record defense spending and the adoption of commercial technologies to augment current capabilities. The Trump Administration is striving for real reform in what's being bought and how it's being bought—doubling down on acquisition tradecraft pioneered by the Defense Innovation Unit as described in the book Unit X. Consequently, these process simplifications make it more attractive for venture-backed companies to develop a defense business. Hedging existing military capabilities with solutions from defense tech vendors not only complements what defense primes can do with large platforms (ships, planes and tanks) but also brings more competition to defense procurement with companies that can ramp manufacturing quickly. Today's arsenal of democracy needs to not only be better stocked but also stocked with more modern capabilities. Additionally, the arsenal should include companies that can iterate capabilities with warfighter feedback since improvements on the battlefield now happen in hours not years. Ukraine demonstrates that wars are never won as rapidly as aggressors imagine before the conflict. Consequently, success requires new capabilities that evolve rapidly plus sufficient industrial capacity to sustain a war effort for years.

ETH Treasury Race Heats Up as SharpLink and Bitmine Battle for Dominance
Two unlikely companies — SharpLink Gaming (SBET) and Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) — are redefining what it means to be an ETH-first corporation. Together, they've acquired more ETH than the Ethereum Foundation itself, propelling a growing trend among public firms treating ETH not as a speculative asset, but as a core part of their balance sheets. SharpLink Gaming, a Minneapolis-based fan engagement and iGaming performance firm, has emerged as one of the largest ETH corporate holders in the world. The company currently holds 280,706 ETH, a position currently worth just over $1 billion. SharpLink raised over $400 million through at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings to fund its accumulation strategy. Rather than sitting idle, the ETH is staked for yield. SharpLink also publishes an 'ETH-per-share' metric, positioning itself as a transparent bridge between regulated public equity markets and the decentralized finance ecosystem. But the title of largest ETH corporate holder now belongs to Bitmine Immersion Technologies. Chaired by longtime Wall Street strategist and Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee, Bitmine has accumulated 300,657 ETH as of today, worth around $1.13 billion. Lee, who also leads Bitmine's strategic vision, has drawn comparisons between his firm's strategy and MicroStrategy's Bitcoin playbook — raising capital, deploying into ETH, and staking for yield. Bitmine's approach goes even further, aiming to control up to 5% of ether's total circulating supply. Its operations leverage cash flow from industrial-scale crypto mining and hosting, while using financial instruments like ETH options to deepen its treasury. Backed by notable investors including Peter Thiel, Bitmine hopes to function as an ETH-native reserve institution. The rivalry burst into the open on Saturday when Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin weighed in on X, calling the contest between SharpLink and Bitmine a mix of 'cut-throat one-upmanship' and potential collaboration. 'We will both compete, hard,' he wrote, adding that while they might try to out-buy each other stacking ETH, they could also 'hold hands and collaboratively explain the paradigm shift to decentralization.' He ended with a challenge: 'Game on.' This corporate arms race appears to be shaping ETH's market momentum. Over the past 24 hours, ETH has climbed 6.5% to roughly $3,800, extending a seven-day rally of nearly 27%. That price action can, at least in part, be explained by the sheer scale of ETH accumulation underway at SharpLink Gaming and Bitmine Immersion Technologies. Sign in to access your portfolio
