Google Calculator is getting a Material 3 Expressive redesign that moves some elements around.
Amusingly, this Material 3 Expressive update gets rid of the container that’s analogous to a physical calculator’s display. This redesign has one background that’s completely flat.
A skinnier font is used for the display numerals, and it might be an adjustment. In the top-left corner is a new button to access history, though you can still swipe down like before. This makes the tape functionality a little less hidden.
New
Google has removed the row of scientific actions. That functionality is now completely hidden until you tap a new expand button (two outward chevrons — they inverse to close) just above the numpad at the left. These buttons are now placed in pills and go all the way to the edge. It’s a cleaner design for most people, but those that frequently used the first four actions will dislike this removal.
There are no changes to the remaining keys below, though 0-9 have a lighter background. The three-dot overflow menu in the top-right corner has been updated to always show “Clear history,” while everything is now accompanied by icons.
Old
The landscape tablet layout has changed a bit, with Google now using the same layout as on phones for wider buttons.
Google Calculator 9.0 with Material 3 Expressive is rolling out now via the Play Store.
