Material 3 Expressive brings what I love about Android into the modern day

If you're not fully on board the AI hype train, I would understand if you feel that Android has lost its way. When Google, Samsung, and Motorola are packing AI features into places you never thought they would fit, you would be justified in asking, "Hey, what about us? What about the user experience?" Gemini feels like a product Google is trying to sell us, rather than a solution to a problem. The last few years of AI-focused updates have led me to become apathetic about the future of Google, but at Google I/O 2025, we saw that there's still some consideration for the user experience in Google.
