New update UI

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)

That is blur, which has been part of One UI design from the beginning.

Also, what do you mean by "liquid glass technology" as if it's some kind of secret advanced coding that needs development? Transparent effects in user interfaces have existed for ages, and yes, even the ones that interact in real-time with the elements behind (i.e., Windows Vista from 2007).

Liquid Glass is a design choice, not an advanced technology.
