iPhone user here:

I'm sorry if this is a really controversial question, but I really enjoy the system-wide transparency and glassUI of iOS. I want to migrate to Android, but the big manufacturers (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc) all have a flat UI design by contrast. In my research, the closest I could find is MIUI, but the phones that run MIUI don't support all the carrier bands in the USA. Does android really not have the option of a glassy transparent UI?

You're never going to find that on any OEM skin simply because some apps themselves don't adhere to certain (Material/other) Guidelines / aren't on a particular version of Android.

Hell, this app from Lemmy I'm using doesn't have context or nothing else other than reply to in a blank reply box
