With the release of the Material You, Google brought a major change in Android 12 last year that completely revamped the look of its Android OS. It has Dynamic Themes that lets users customize their phone with different colors based on the wallpaper and it applies to menus, buttons, backgrounds, and apps throughout their phone.

Samsung adopted Android 12 Dynamic Themes and generated a color palette from the wallpaper and gave users a few color variations. When enabled, the Material You theming engine picks up the dominant color palette from user-applied wallpapers and applies them as accent colors in the Android user interface.
So, instead of the default and boring accent color, you can get a customized color that syncs with the wallpaper. Of course, the amazing feature does not support all Galaxy devices. Since it is an Android 12 feature, it only supports the devices running on One UI 4.0 or One UI 4.1 software systems.
In case you don’t know if your Samsung Galaxy phone has this feature, below I have mentioned all Samsung Android 12 Dynamic Themes supported devices in a list. Scroll down to check it out!

What’s going to change with Samsung Android 13
Google released two Android 13 Beta builds for Pixel smartphones, which revealed that third-party app developers are free to create their own theme-friendly icons so that you can always have a two-tone icon pack. This function will surely be available on Samsung phones with the One UI 5.0 update.
