• This visual tweak follows earlier interface updates such as the four-color glow and January’s tall rectangular card design.
• Google has not provided a public timeline for rolling out the redesign beyond its current test group.
• The design aligns with Google’s ongoing effort to unify Gemini’s visual identity across Android flagships.
