Android has evolved a lot in the more than 10 years that it has been with us. It is true that not all versions have changed the aesthetics in the same way, but we must recognize that Android 12 has been one of those that has improved customization the most thanks to Material You, the language of design heir to Material Design.
However, we have seen that not all brands have chosen to implement this amazing ability to change system colors just by using a wallpaper.
Although OPPO and Samsung, for example, have chosen to give users this versatility, in addition to brands that use Android almost purely, other companies such as Vivo or Xiaomi have not fully implemented this function.
Google changes Material You requirements
Part of the fault lies with Google, which established very specific requirements for manufacturers to use Material Youin addition to force brands to use it if they wanted to access MSG (Google apps and services).
On the one hand, manufacturers had to implement; on the other hand, Google had to ensure that each model was certified check that the design has not caused accessibility issues due to colors.
All that will change with Android 13, which will keep Material You, but keep Material You but will be much less demanding on manufacturers so that they can implement it. In fact, this has already changed to Android 12L, but few brands have used this version, at least for now.
In addition, Google will allow manufacturers to implement the color change engine on current phones with Androdi 12although it depends on the manufacturers whether or not to release this update.
