-The transparent glass blur is something everyone is a fan of. We need to see more of it replace the old solid white/black android format for light and dark mode
In dark mode, the blur is still too washed and white. things like the apps drawer search bar section being solid grey instead of more opaque blur that lets color of the wallpaper through.
- Customization menus should be more hidden. it makes the phone look like a cluttered unfinished project. like the color and add buttons inside folders or the edit buttons in the quick panel.
- Larger and simpler status bar Icons. Have the status bar take up more of the screen. possibly have a goodlock module that allows you to change it's size and arrangement. potentially remove grey shade on status bar and make it fully transparent.
Layouts that take full advantage of screen space and leave out anything excessive and unnecessary.
I think "simplicity" is probably a better descriptor than "minimalism." We have had very minimal design on pretty much all mobile devices since around 2018-2019.
The flat design trend is getting tired, and I think we are starting to see a cautious return to skeumorphism. Frosted glass/blur is a great example of that. There is no utility... It exists for no other reason than it looks fantastic and reminds us of frosted glass panes IRL.
