Google offers you a taste of the Pixel experience on your Android phone. The official wallpaper picker is part of the Pixel launcher and is an app on the Play Store. You get access to some impressive imagery. Categories include Earth, Landscapes, Cityscapes, and Live textures. The wallpapers app will also tap into your photo gallery or wallpapers that came with any custom launchers you have installed.

Choose from the very impressive images available in Google’s own wallpapers app.

However, the best stuff for the Pixel is the Live Data, Live Earth, and New elements categories. If you get a Pixel, the Live Earth is particularly remarkable. Your wallpaper shows a real-time perspective of the globe, where the sun is hitting with live cloud data. The Live Data category features live wallpapers. That change based on factors such as the amount of charge your phone has left, and how busy your day is, or the weather. Wallpapers are available for any device running Android 4.1 or higher. You can get it now in the Play Store.

The impact on you: This is definitely worth grabbing, if for no reason other than having access to a nice vault of wallpapers. The app is also better laid out than many third-party skins on Samsung and other phones. Don’t discount that this might also serve as an excellent gateway drug to lure you into a Pixel Phone.
