Google sometimes seems like a frenzied manic operation hastily building utility after utility without much thought given to UI design or overlapping features, but the same company also gave us gems like the Material Design language introduced with Android 12. Its own apps are fine examples with ever-evolving UIs, and Google Tasks also comes to mind. The latest development in that app ditches the bottom bar to move some optiosn around.

Google Keep might not be the flashiest note-taking app ever created, but it gets the job done with its basic functionality and layout options.

Meanwhile, Samsung's getting ready for its next big hardware event, but the leakers are getting ready for the one after that.
