Ever since Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 was released a little over a week ago, the number of new features and changes we’ve discovered has almost been overwhelming. Material 3 Expressive is the star of the show, but we’ve found loads of other things too — most recently, evidence of something called “Pixel themes.”
What is Pixel themes, you ask? We don’t fully know yet. We managed to enable a new “Themes” tab in the Wallpaper and style app, which is described as letting you “Discover Pixel themes” through a new (and unreleased) “Pixel Customization Packs” application. None of it is working right now, but it all strongly suggests Google Pixel phones will soon gain new customization options through this theming system.
