Google recently started testing a compact Google Assistant UI with the beta version of Google app on non-Pixel phones. While the redesign brought most of the features from the Assistant seen on Pixel devices, the light bar was missing. The company is now reportedly testing a design that adds a light bar to Assistant’s UI.

Alongside the light bar, the bottom pill-shaped controls accommodating the Lens, Voice, and Keyboard shortcuts have been shifted. The light bar replaces the Voice icon that currently replicates voice patterns. Meanwhile, Google has moved the Keyboard icon to the right and Lens button to the left side above Suggestions.
