First and foremost, Motorola is adding its own Material You theme to its Android skin “My UX”. The company calls it “Dynamic Color,” which basically changes the theme of the system based on the colors of your background image – just like with Material You. The company touts that Dynamic Color will help users enjoy the My UX OS as “the most expressive, dynamic, and personal operating system ever”.

Now you can change the wallpaper on your device and your entire Android 12 experience will be customized accordingly. Using advanced color extraction algorithms, you can easily personalize the look and feel of your entire phone, including notifications, settings, widgets and even select apps. We combine the dynamic colors, rounded shapes and large open layouts of Material You with the rich premium feel of the Motorola brand.

Similar to the Android 12 update of the Pixel, Motorola has added a “Personalize” menu to the settings. This setting allows users to customize the layout, fonts, colors, icon shape, sounds, display size, font size, and dark theme. Otherwise, Motorola has tried to keep the experience as close as possible to Pixel devices. The clock is large by default on the lock screen, but it shrinks when notifications come in, like the Pixel’s Android 12 update.

Other features include the privacy dashboard, which allows you to manage app permissions, see which app has accessed which resource, and have much more control over your smartphone. Motorola has also brought the microphone and camera displays to its Android 12-based My UX, as well as the ability to assign approximate locations. Accessibility features such as area enlargement, extra dim, bold text and grayscale have also been added.
