TL;DR As SpongeBob gets ready to sunset, Google’s prepping two new sets of Pixel themes.
One is all about Harry Potter, with magic and Hogwarts wallpapers and sound effects to customize your phone.
It also looks like Google’s prepping some artistic new options from HERALBONY in Japan.
Google introduced Pixel theme packs last year for quickly overhauling your phone’s look, and while we wish we had a little more variety there, we have to admit — they’re pretty great. Depending on who you ask, the current SpongeBob offering may be the best thing to happen to Pixel phones in a while, even if we’re super bummed to only have it around for another month. As we brace for that loss, though, we’re already looking to what’s next — and there is absolutely reason to be excited there.
For this, we’re checking out version 1.0.892133135.release of Google’s Pixel themes app. Now, let’s get the bad news out of the way first: We haven’t been able to find any graphical assets to extract, so we can’t bring you a preview of how your next Pixel theme might look just yet. As for that good news: If you thought Google landed a huge fandom hit with SpongeBob, it is going to knock absolutely knock it out of the park with this next one — Harry Potter.
