After 2 years of hard work, today we are proud to announce the most important Smart Launcher update ever.

Smart Launcher was born 6 years ago, when smartphones were just “phones” and screens were shorter than 3.5". Today the average dimension of a screen is 5" and devices have incredible hardware with powerful CPUs and Neural Engines. We understood we needed to renew Smart Launcher, so we redesigned every part of the launcher from scratch.

We named this new update:

The new Design

Our vision was to make Smart Launcher ready for the future

We focused our attention on some key aspects to better address the future trends.

Because of the dimension of new devices, some UI elements have become difficult to reach with a single hand. The design of the launcher has moved to the bottom the items you usually interact with the most, while it reserves the upper area to information and visual contents.
