Android Central’s opinion
Wallpaper leaks may not seem like a big deal, but they usually give us a clue about the colors and general direction. I’m actually a little disappointed that no blue wallpaper has appeared yet, especially since it could mean that Google is moving away from the Moonstone color; I just hope nothing is finalized so soon.
