The Notification expansion buttons got less transparent background shapes to provide you with a clear view at all toggles, however, the layout remains the same.
Talking about the Quick Settings, there are not any upgrades over the One UI 4.1 in the overall feel. The background now looks less transparent, thanks to the company’s decision to replace the previous interface with a solid color in both light and dark modes.
