Along with Dynamic Coloration for some of the always-on display (AOD) clocks, Android 16 Beta 4 tweaks the time within the standing bar.
The font has modified, with most numbers — 1 and a pair of — wider than earlier than. Nevertheless, the 0 is barely narrower to my eye. (The screenshots under are from a pair of Pixel 9 models.)
Moreover, spacing has been tweaked with a bigger hole between the 1 and a pair of. The whole lot can be only a hair taller.
As of this beta, Google has not modified the font/spacing for the battery proportion on the proper. There are not any different adjustments to the standing bar icons.
Total, all the things seems only a bit wider in a change that you just’ll undoubtedly discover after updating, however the distinction finally recedes.
It stays to be seen whether or not this clock change will make its option to the steady Android 16 launch in June. That is presumably a modernization drive on Google’s half.
Total, Android 16 Beta 4 has been fairly steady. Following the Thursday launch, I put in it on my day by day driver (Pixel 9a — to get 15 QPR2 options like Modes, the removing of the globe icon when the keyboard is open, and so on.) and haven’t seen any points. It’s a reasonably good time to hitch the beta, with Beta 4.1 presumably coming in Could to ship the most recent month-to-month safety patch and different bug fixes, like for lockscreen shortcuts on some gadgets.
