Leak-backed reports indicate Google is refining its current design language with a subtler frosted look and a few practical tools instead of a sweeping overhaul.

Overview

  • Internal-build screenshots shared by 9to5Google show translucent, blurred treatments for core system surfaces, including the volume slider and sheet plus the power menu.
  • The effect is tinted by Dynamic Color and, per current reporting, is confined to system UI rather than third‑party apps.
  • 9to5Google’s gallery, sourced from an internal build shared by RKBDI, follows earlier Telegram posts from tipsters like MysticLeaks and images relayed by @jspirit, with multiple outlets corroborating the visuals.
  • A revamped screen recorder appears in a floating pill with options for device audio, microphone, and touch indicators, plus doodling tools and a post‑capture preview.
  • Leaked builds also surface a long‑press ‘Lock app’ option and other tweaks under exploration; Google has not confirmed details or timing, with industry expectations pointing to early test builds this quarter and a potential mid‑2026 stable release.
