Context: In August, Google had announced that the dark theme was preparing for the Google Phone application. Some users expected this update to be available much sooner, but here we are, two months after Google's announcement, and its beta, but it will probably be released soon on the stable channel as well. Google had already incorporated the dark theme to several of its applications, including YouTube, Contacts and many others. Gmail and Chrome, however, have not yet received the dark theme, and we are not quite sure that they will, but since the company has updated a multitude applications with this, we will probably see it in Gmail and Chrome. at one point. Google has realized that the dark theme can save a lot of battery on smartphones with OLED displays. Thus, as part of its new Android design, the new Material Design, the dark theme is also put forward, or at least, it seems.

Impact: In fact, Google has officially confirmed its findings just recently, confirming that the dark themes are really good for battery life, which is probably the real reason behind all of these updates that the company has been publishing since the last day. arrival of Android 9 Pie. Some users simply prefer the dark theme as a whole, regardless of the battery, because not everyone likes everything to be white all the time. Having options is a good thing. I hope this update will arrive on the stable channel as well, and soon. The company should also deploy the dark theme of Google Photos, Gmail, Chrome … and many other apps at some point, although an official confirmation has not arrived yet.
