Dark mode is a theme that has taken over the internet and mobile space. A majority of people on both iOS and Android opt for the Dark Mode on their smartphones if given the choice. To take dark mode a notch further, Google is now testing an even darker dark mode for its Android app. This was first found in a report from 9to5Google, where the company is seen testing a theme that is darker than the usual dark grey theme but still lighter than pitch black. Google had earlier tested a “pitch-black" dark mode on desktops.
The new dark mode is being tested on Google’s mobile app and is said to be the more attractive dark theme choice for OLED display devices as it will save battery life. A report in Android Police notes that the new theme is there in Google’s latest 13.8 beta in the Google Play Store.
Those who can not wait for an official rollout, can download the new, “darker" dark mode via APKMirror or can join the beta test group for Google Search.

However, the darker Dark Mode offers a brighter font colour that may not be everyone’s cup of tea. In that case, we hope that Alphabet-owned Google will consider giving options like the bright mode, standard Dark Mode, and enhanced Dark Mode.

The update essentially meant that users can change the appearance of their web browser to Dark Mode or dark that applies on all supported websites. Users can check for the dark theme by going into Settings > Search Settings > Appearance and selecting “dark".
