The upcoming Android 17, codenamed 'Cinnamon Bun,' is set to introduce significant changes, including a new 'Material 3 Expressive' design language featuring a frosted glass effect across the system interface. This update will also bring more natural animations, new icon shapes, and a per-app dark theme toggle. A notable limitation is that the headline AI upgrade, Gemini Intelligence, will be exclusive to 2026 flagship devices with 12GB of RAM or more, excluding even recent flagships like the Pixel 9. Mandatory auto-theming for third-party apps will also be enforced. While the stable version is expected to roll out starting in June or July 2026, the availability of all features will depend heavily on the specific device model. Google's design changes have drawn comparisons to Apple's iOS.
