Android Jellybean 4.3

Unread post by 0of64 »

In my opinion, phone UI peaked with Android's Jellybean 4.3. And it's not just nostalgia, I think the UI for that version of android was a good mix between minimalism and skeuomorphism.

The only experience with android back in the day that I clearly remember was the early 2010s Samsung UIs (touchwiz?). I didn't pay attention to the UIs as much back then but I preferred iOS back then as it wasn't as laggy.

Is that what that whole thing was called? I really love it, looking back on it. Though I mostly associate it with tablets and other larger-screened devices cause I was too young to have a phone back then.
