  Haven't heard much positive feedback from other people testing 12 on their pixels when it comes to the UI changes. I'm still kinda on the fence but a lot could change by release. The privacy changes seem to be the only benefit to 12 so far personally. Which of course makes it worth the move.

    If they've been using the Android 12 public DP, then they haven't seen this new UI yet. The beta with UI overhaul was rolled out today I think.

    They could win me over by putting in a rounded-corner slider. It looks like it would default at 11/10.

  Here's hoping the privacy stuff is present in AOSP and not dependent on Play Services.

  The new Material stuff feels to me like a gimmick. Basically just color skins on your screen the same way you can pick your own skin for your phone case. Sure, people will use it, but it's not very clever and won't make anyone more productive.

    Don't underestimate how much lay consumers value colors and personalization.

  you know, on some level I enjoy the abstract graphic design in this UI change, but I get the sense this resembles a kind of fast fashion more than genuine progress towards better UI design. (Not that the iphone is any different here, if anything, apple often seems to move further from their professed design principles to pursue a kind of tech fashion.)
