Google has put to rest concerns regarding the resemblance of its future Android design to Apple’s divisive Liquid Glass design.

During an X post by Head of Android Sameet Samat, it was announced that Google will host a Google I/O-themed Android Show event on May 12, leading up to the full rollout of Android 17.

Despite initial worries raised by a teaser video, showcasing the Android mascot transitioning to a semi-translucent effect, Google assures users of its unique design direction.

The new finish in question has drawn comparisons to Apple’s Liquid Glass UI in iOS 26, sparking speculation among viewers.

Google makes it crystal clear

While Apple’s design choices have been met with mixed reviews, Google reaffirms its commitment to a distinct design philosophy, separate from Apple’s aesthetic.

Addressing speculations of a shift towards a Liquid Design-inspired direction, Samit reassures users that such a change is not on the horizon.

The transition from green to translucent in the teaser video remains a mystery, with further details set to be revealed in the upcoming event.

Expectations are high for Google’s unveiling of Android 17 and its plans for Aluminium OS, a blend of ChromeOS and Android for a cohesive desktop experience, during the event.
