EMUI 13 will bring Android’s dynamic theme?

HarmonyOS 3.0 has been launched and Huawei has not confirmed this rollout for the global market. Hence, the Chinese tech maker may bring us EMUI 13 in the later half of this year based on a new Android version.

Despite being a doubtful base, we could expect Huawei to finally ship a new Android version with EMUI 13. If it happens, then, we would definitely like to see the latest Android dynamic theme on EMUI 13.

Before we conduct any further discussion, we need to see what the dynamic theme is.

Dynamic theme:

Introduced with Android 12 and powered by Material You Design, the Dynamic theme feature allows you to transform the look and feel of the entire user interface around the current/selected home screen wallpaper.

So, how does it work? Well, you just have to select a wallpaper and apply it on the home or lock screen. The system will bring you the option to select a color palette, which consists of primary, dark, and accent colors alongside a Dark Mode color.

Once selected the default theme of the phone will be changed with the color palette, including the status bar, the notification bar, app icons, and other user interface-related areas.

Supported devices:

If Huawei is really planning to adopt a new Android Open Source Project (AOSP), it could also go for Android 12 or Android 13. However, Android 12 would be fine, in the process. But Huawei will also have to choose the devices that could actually run Android 12 or later operating system because it’s important to determine eligibility for older models.

Speaking of eligibility, devices launched with Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) could be the most favorable for this scenario. On the flip side, the company may leave EMUI 12 devices for the GMS-powered devices.

Nothing is confirmed at the moment but we’ll keep you posted if EMUI 13 inherits the Android dynamic theme feature.
