Which part of the interface? Just the translations? I would hate to having to press a button every time a post in another language shows up... Lots of UX friction there. Users are more likely to simply ignore the post.
Maybe I got the term wrong by user interface I mean the graphics and the arrangement of icons. As per the example below. I find the various buttons and graphics more pleasing, don't you? https://nostrcheck.me/media/f4db5270bd991b17bea1e6d035f45dee392919c29474bbac10342d223c74e0d0/556f82fa630d8ec28c646153200067c7f37cefc61ab8a55c284a52320b618ef4.webp https://nostrcheck.me/media/f4db5270bd991b17bea1e6d035f45dee392919c29474bbac10342d223c74e0d0/4cde7cd1d50d5fa10c533db1abea2c594948c1910c8ad3fd9c661cd723f1e25a.webp

Hum.. they are def a lot bigger, bolder, softer and occupy more screen space. We always tried to keep them small because: 1. The post is the important part, not the reactions and 2. Lots of screens are really small and bigger buttons tend to get more on the way of content.
They are also not using pitch black for the background, which does help soften everything up.
but ruins battery life
you're an artist...i don't think most of us are bothered by this. although a SCALEABLE interface like Telegram has would be cool
nope. it's not too much friction for me. if the content matters a simple tap is nothing. i'm swiping to scroll aren't i?
