Android 16 could bring an updated volume slider and volume panel UI. Here's an early first look at the new designs!

Ahead of a potential debut, a new volume slider and panel design has been discovered in Android 16 that better aligns with Material Design.

Android 16 is potentially redesigning the volume slider and panel UI, moving away from the thick, pill-shaped sliders introduced in Android 15 to thinner, continuous sliders with distinct handles. Other visual changes include repositioning the music note icon to the bottom of the slider (from its previous volume-dependent placement) and slightly reducing the size of the three-dot overflow menu icon.
