Don't you think Material 3 Expressive looks dated?
The era of FLAT began over 10 years ago and it's dead now. We're in the era of gradients and blur.
I really don't like these pastel colors at all, I also despise the lack of true dark mode and the decision to discard black backgrounds when all high end phones and even midrange phones have AMOLED displays.
I really like ONE UI by Samsung, it is beautiful in my opinion but then I have to open Google apps and they feel completely OLD. The only exceptions are Gemini which looks great and also YouTube music, which btw they both have black backgrounds, gradients, blurs.
So, Google. WHY?

For the power users out there using Firefox extensions - be mindful of the extensions you're using and their CPU requirements.
I have an s25 ultra and use Firefox with a number of extensions including ublock, decentraleyes, dark reader, BitWarden, etc. Firefox has always been the number one app draining my battery by a large margin. After doing a deep dive on battery consumption per Firefox extension, I found out that Dark Reader in particular was a huge contributor to this drain because the app dynamically recalculates the CSS of every webpage element to invert colors in real-time. After switching to a much more efficient extension called UltimaDark, Firefox is consuming nearly 40% less power. I had no idea a single extension could eat up so much power.

Face Unlock vs. Fingerprint Scanner: What’s your main way to unlock your phone?
Hey everyone, just curious what the split is like here.
I’ve been using a phone with a fast fingerprint scanner for a long time, but a lot of newer devices are putting a massive emphasis on upgrading their biometric Face Unlock setups to work better in pitch-black low light.
If your phone has both options available, which one do you actually find yourself using more throughout a normal day? Do you prefer the instant speed of face unlock or the reliable muscle memory of a fingerprint sensor?

Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster
Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster. I have spent hours trying to make Gemini work as the Google Assistant for simple things. Couple of examples: Gemini was getting my location wrong for weather forecast (was eventually resolved for my home location but would still be questionable if traveling); Wouldn't unlock the lock screen to respond to simple queries like "Hey Google, what's the weather" and "Hey Google, good morning". Switched back to Google Assistant and everything resumed working correctly.

I built Kids Learning World, an Android learning game for kids focused on ABC, Numbers & Words
Hi r/Android! 👋
I'm an Android developer, and I'd like to share a project I've recently published: Kids Learning World.
I built it as a simple educational game for young children, with the idea of making early learning feel more like exploration than a traditional quiz.
# 🔤 ABC World
The ABC section includes activities such as:
Uppercase and lowercase letter recognition
Matching letters
Missing letters
Letter sequences
Beginning and ending letters
Connecting letters with familiar objects and words
# 🔢 Numbers World
The Numbers section focuses on early number skills:
Number recognition
Counting
Before and after
Greater and smaller numbers
Missing numbers
Simple addition and subtraction
Basic number sequences
# 📚 Words World
The Words section uses familiar objects and pictures to introduce vocabulary:
Picture identification
Beginning letters
Ending letters
Missing letters
Completing simple words
# 🐼 One thing I wanted to do differently
I didn't want a wrong answer to feel like a failure.
If a child chooses the wrong answer, they can simply try again. Once they get it right, the game shows a small learning card explaining the answer.
For example:
Question: Which letter does APPLE start with?
Answer: A
Learning:
“APPLE starts with the letter A. The first letter of APPLE is A.”
The idea is that the question should not just test the child — the question itself should become a learning opportunity.
# 🎮 The overall approach
I designed the experience around:
Play → Learn → Understand → Practice → Celebrate
There are no leaderboards or competitive mechanics. The focus is on simple learning activities, positive feedback and allowing children to practice at their own pace.
# 📱 Android details
The app is currently available on Google Play:
Kids Learning World
Package: com.hussain.englishkidsworld
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hussain.englishkidsworld
I'd really appreciate feedback from Android developers, parents, teachers, or anyone interested in children's educational apps.
In particular, I'm interested in:
What would you improve in an Android learning app for young children?
Are there any learning activities you think would fit well as a future world?
