Pixel 9 Pro's Status Bar Gets a Height Boost with Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3

The Pixel 9 Pro has received a thicker status bar in the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3 update. This change aims to accommodate the large front-facing camera cutout on the device. Previously, there was minimal space between the camera cutout and the status bar, which was noticeable when the status bar wasn't black. With the update, Google has increased the height of the status bar across the system, improving the appearance particularly when using apps like YouTube.
