Android 17 QPR2 brings system blur to the Pixel lockscreen

The interface changes in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 continue with more blur for the Pixel lockscreen.

Beta 3 blurs the list of notifications and the two lockscreen shortcuts, though not all of them as of this release. The fingerprint icon also gets the translucency treatment today.

How prominent this effect is really depends on your wallpaper. Android 17 QPR2 is expected to launch in December.
