• Optimizes the background colors and Gaussian blur effects in Quick Settings, Notification drawer, Home screen drawer, and Global Search.
• Optimizes the transition animation when the Lock screen clock and buttons disappear upon device unlock.
• Optimizes animations when entering and exiting Global Search, ensuring a smoother and more consistent visual experience.

The second feature being added to both smartphones is a “New touch control experience”. 

• Adds a transition animation when swiping in from one side of the screen to exit an app before it starts up.
• Adds a transition animation when swiping in from one side of the screen to go back to the previous page before a new page is opened.
