New update feels smoother but it's broken

[knighty]

After all wiping and cleaning...

Things I liked:

• Overall smoothness. Pretty dang smooth.
• Sleek animations.
• The fingerprint sensor has improved a lot. I mean...A LOT!
• New Well-being and Device Care. (although it is very useful now, because of my OCD, the Battery section grinds my gears)
• I guess, thank you for not overriding my fonts.

Things I did not like:

• What the hell is this godawful new notification panel! Looks ugly in dark mode.
• Theming inconsistencies. Especially visible in dark mode.
• If you were using any Accessibility option or an app was using it then it's (probably) gonna mess up functionality. I had to fiddle around for a while to get 'double-tap to lock' working again.
• Discover "app" cannot be disabled. (Edit: I mean, 'Disabled' disabled. Like Google, Gmail etc)
• Turned sync off for all my accounts. Annoying AF.
• Broke Private DNS.
• Full-Screen gestures 'More Options' is disabled. Not sure why.
• The lowest brightness level is a bit higher than before. Actually, not a bit, much higher. My eyes are burning right now.
• I know it's 48 MP but focusing is much worse now.
• I take that thank you back for overriding AOD clock fonts.

Edit: Forgot to add. Weather app **bleep** now.

discover can be disabled via tap and hold home screen and then tap settings and then disable the discover for good

[knighty]

Yup. I know. But that only disables the feature, not the entire app. I do not even use One UI launcher and despite turning off this feature it has consumed 5% battery. There should be an option to disable it like Google apps. Ideally, an option to completely uninstall those apps.

cool review... the new notification panel does indeed look bad (but I guess its subjective)
