Bring Back The Old Pill.

[Ocaji]

New Battery Pill Shape Looks Comically Goofy.

Scalling up the percentage number is a major improvement, but why did we have to lose the width? The proportions from beta 2 were perfect. It looks more like an oval than a pill now.

I would say now that the size the current pill has when power saving is on should be the default instead of having a size change with zero animation.

A lot of us, including me, were suggesting a bigger and bolders status bar, but I don't think this is what we meant.

The fact that the signal bars remained tiny and thin kinda makes this worse.

Overall bad mix. The battery looks stumpy and the signal bars have zero definition.

Please make everything follow suit if cartoony is where the Ui is going.

Definitely I 👍 I pointed this out on here and report to samsung. And others was ok with it 😆 not me.

I mentioned this as well in beta 2 and noticed now in beta 3 it looks worse. I don't use the battery percentage and it still looks, as you said, "stumpy"

They need to give the opt to choose the original battery percentage. A lot of people dislike the pill shaped icon. It's harder to read.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the new battery pill shape and status bar design in the latest beta. Your points are detailed and highlight some important aspects of visual consistency and user experience.

1. Battery Pill Shape:
The feedback about the proportions being off is valid; scaling up the percentage number is a welcome improvement, but losing the width seems to have shifted the balance. The suggestion to use the size of the power-saving pill as the default and add an animation when switching modes is a creative idea that could enhance both the look and feel.

2. Signal Bars:
Your observation about the signal bars remaining thin while the battery icon takes on a chunkier design highlights a lack of cohesion in the status bar. It’s definitely worth exploring a consistent design language for all elements to maintain a polished and unified appearance.

3. Cartoony vs. Consistent:
If the UI is moving toward a more playful, bold aesthetic, as you mentioned, it would make sense for all elements in the status bar to follow that direction. Uniformity in design can make the interface feel intentional and cohesive rather than mismatched.

We’ll make sure your suggestions are passed along to the development team, as your detailed feedback is incredibly helpful in refining the UI.
