better than older iterations of its skins. It’s still
quite different from stock Android or Google’s skin,

unnecessary and little touches like white space at the
top of first-party apps, so your thumb can reach the

wide dark mode is great to have.

system, which uses too many up swipes to be
intuitive. The iPhone X series' gestures are still the
best and most natural.Verdict
