Google Leaks Material 3 Expressive Android 16 UI

Google has leaked details for its own new material 3 expressive design language.

The software giant will later organize its next Big Google I/O 2025 event this month, in which a bold new material is presented 3 expressive user interface on Android 16.

Although Google was not averse to its new design language, it was probably not as far as going as far as going.

Google's large material 3 expressive leak

Google seems to have published a blog post in which the expressive user interface of the material has described in detail. We know that this was a mistake because it quickly pulled the post.

Of course, nothing escapes the announcement of the Internet, and a version of the blog post was received for our leisurely review. 9to5Google also managed to collect the pictures that accompanied this first post (see below).

The contribution goes into extensive research behind Google's material 3 Expressive user interface, which apparently began with the simple request of an internship in 2022:

“Why did all of these apps look so boring? Wasn't it space to choose the feeling?”

Google then enforced its way to materials 3 expressively and used 46 separate research studies and more than 18,000 participants, with measures such as eye tracking, experiments and good old -fashioned focus groups were used.

What to expect from material 3 expressive

Google calls the resulting system “both beautifully and very usable” and is based on common sense of “highlighting important actions and how elements group”.

Google took this point about the feeling and decided to “exceed existing standards for the TAP target size, the color contrast and other important aspects to use the interfaces more easily for all people”.

A core component is a new floating toolbar at the end of the Google apps, which is more on the rest of the app than below. Here, too, it seems to be in service to clearly highlight the most important UI element.

Another example of material 3 is expressive is the new Google Mail app, which now has a significantly larger and more prominent Send key, which is now located directly above the keyboard.

Essentially, Google seems to have created its latest UI design language through a careful process in which people asked how they feel. It sounds shockingly simple, but the results promise to be fascinating.
