IMHO it’s definetly a hard break with the past design.
But it looks more mature and not as ‘shy’.

        Phone acting as tablet. Settings “smallest width” to 600dp or more triggers tablet mode on Android, which changes certain UI elements to, in my opinion, make more sense on average near 7" smartphones. At least for me as I am a landscape-first user.

        So, since I already screwed up my homescreen layout by toggling this now, I’ll give you screenshots to compare between 423 (smallest in regular settings) and 705dp (what I use). 423 on left, 705 on right.

        Took me longer than I anticipated, but anyway:

        Sorry for the JPEG, original was 18MB.

        Notice the difference in keyboard layout, and 3 button navigation with app icons and app drawer.

        You should be able to click the image to open it, at least on LemmyUI.
