search google for the words hide and banding and gradient and noise with your favourite photo editor or image editor in the search query and you should see a lot of examples. It's been around for a long time, because computer screens and even print have had this problem with gradients since... well, forever.

This could be for a lot of reasons, but one technical reason is the (generally) limited gamut on (most) Android phones showing banding of gradients, and in ways that aren't at all desirable. So those making artwork for all Android phones go overboard to make sure all Android users don't get banding in gradients. And eventually these sorts of work-arounds and tech limitation solutions become "trends" in their own right. Flat design (itself) is a good case example of this "trend" "creation" ;) | |
