➡️More ways to express
yourself
Whether it’s the color of your phone, your choice of phone case,
the hardware of your device or the choices you’ve made to
customize its software, your devices are an extension of your
personality. Android has always helped you express yourself in
both practical and artistic ways–from the wallpaper, style and
color palette theme to buttons and backgrounds. Now, we’re
introducing more ways to tailor your phone to your personal
preferences.
Android 14’s updated customization picker makes it easier to
switch between wallpapers and update what you want to see at a
glance. You can now set custom lock screen shortcuts, like QR
reader or the Google Home app, so you have quick, one-tap
access to your most used controls directly from your Android lock
screen.
Choose from a set of new, curated lock screen templates for
fonts, widgets, colors and formats that best match your style.
These options also use AI to adjust your screen based on your
situation. For example, if the weather is suddenly taking a turn for
the worse, your lock screen weather widget will become more
prominent.
Android 14 also lets you show off your most creative and artistic
self — no art skills required. Coming first to Pixel 8/8 Pro,
generative AI wallpapers use AI-generated text-to-image diffusion
models to help you create wallpapers that match your vision. You
can choose from pre-set suggestions to create never-before-seen
wallpapers in just a few taps.
If you prefer a less colorful phone aesthetic that is easy on the
eyes, Android 14 includes a monochromatic theme that makes
minimal colors look sleek and beautiful across your entire device.
Android is also helping to improve your photo and camera quality.
Building on Android 13’s support for high dynamic range (HDR)
video, Android 14 supports HDR images with Ultra HDR. Ultra HDR
helps your photos look their best by bringing out vibrant colors,
brighter highlights and darker shadows. Plus, thanks to the great
HDR screens available on many of today’s phones, Ultra HDR
takes and displays high-definition photos without altering the
original quality of the image.
