The overall look is pretty sweet, but there are two major things about this QPR1 build and the last Android 16 build I was on that have convinced me that this one is far superior: The Modes tile in the system toggle pulldown actually features a Do Not Disturb button and that little haptic feedback you get when sliding away a notification. Mmm, that’s the good stuff.
