Looks like some minor refreshes to the design, which is nice. Thank god they still aren't using Google's quick settings style.
My only skepticism is the new expanded quick settings; I fear putting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at the top of the screen will just make it harder to reach them.
What is samsungs obsession with wasting so much space in the main menu of apps?

So you don't have to do finger acrobatics to reach a button at the top of the screen especially on their bigger phones.
The purpose of it is to move controls down to the bottom and make it reachable. If there's enough content, you still get to use the entire screen real estate by just scrolling a bit.
A bunch of design decisions only makes sense when viewed on a smartphone and even then, only after a little bit of usage.
I remember I disliked Android 12 visual design when I looked at it through screenshots, but then absolutely loved it when I started actually using it
i love this, it makes one hand navigation much much easier.
it collapses into a normal app header once yoi scroll down a bit
That's great. Let's see if they've fixed the camera issues, and the screen mirroring issues, and the wireless DeX issues...ah, I fucking hate this phone. My S9+ that I had for almost 5 years was better.
Looks alright
