Today, during a virtual event dubbed The Android Show, the company showed off several features coming to the Android 16, starting with a fresh redesign. Here's everything new coming to Google's mobile operating system. Fresh FacePhotograph: GoogleAndroid is getting a facelift with a new design language called Material 3 Expressive, and the emphasis this time is on personalization. That said, Google says this isn't “Material 4," and Material 3 Expressive isn't a new version of the system. 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.
