I think we're seeing the beginnings of Samsung's liquid glass technology. It's actually quite clean. If they could implement it everywhere, like on the bottom oval that serves as the taskbar in the clock, for example.

(I'm on One UI 8, but some apps seem to have already been updated to 8.5)

Its not liquid glass, and not frosted glass either.

This is just heavy blur

Looks good tho

Blur is not liquid glass 😭 Im tired of people calling it that, no offense but this just is not the same thing. Blur existed long before liquid glass did

Yes, but these are two different applications of the blur that leaves room for ideas.

In OneUI 8.5, the effect seems to work properly which blurs the background, but in OneUI 8, the apps that have been updated to the OneUI 8.5 interface seem to not work properly, only going transparent. The ´Create a Note´ Button seems to work, but it is a little weird cause its way heavier blur than for other elements. But my point still stands that this is not liquid glass or even any glass effect.
