I've been avoiding betas so long now I don't even remember why. I know one year I was following a beta and it destroyed a few devices, and it feels like there was one year I had some issues can't remember which of those caused me to avoid them. Anyway, long story short, it's installing now. Now if I can just remember which features I wanted it for so that I can try them... If anyone is looking for me I'll be on YouTube rewatching my history to remember.

I have to say that I like the new look of the things I tried. It changed my Gboard look. I think the keys and outer edge of the keyboard are rounder. It changed the appearance of all of the options in my Samsung Clock app. The pages are laid out as a bubble slightly shorted, side to side, than the Now bubble/button. And then the stopwatch and timer look totally different.

Oh and the option I was hoping for is not included in this beta, which is the steady cam feature.

Not seeing too much difference in animations but visually all of the menus/settings have a new look. A lot of them seem bigger/fatter and the phone settings menu looks, well look for yourself. To me it looks like they were going for something between vinilla Android and something you see in an iPhone. Will someone post a pic of their Settings menu for comparison?
