Google is copying icons from Samsung’s One UI for Android 15

Last month, Google released Android 15 Developer Preview 2. Since then, experts have been digging deep into it to see what changes it offers and they’ve come across multiple new features, including a redesigned volume adjustment panel and Private Space. Well, now they’ve come across another new feature or rather a design change.

According to a new report from Mishaal Rahman on Android Authority, Android 15 Developer Preview 2 contains new icons for the status bar. As you can see in the images below, instead of icons with a smooth, flowing design and a completely white or black color scheme in Android 14, the new version of the OS has icons that have a segmented design and a white and grey color scheme. As you might have already noticed, these icons look a lot like the ones that Samsung offers with One UI.

Additionally, the battery icon is now horizontal instead of vertical, which allows Google to place the battery percentage inside the icon. Unfortunately, these icons are not live by default, and the author had to activate them manually. Google might make the new icons the default ones with the next beta version of the OS and eventually bring them to the stable version of the OS. However, nothing can be said for sure.
