MKBHD launched the Panels Wallpapers (just called Panels on Android) app this week. The YouTuber personally curates high-resolution digital wallpapers from artists, but unlocking them costs $12 per month or $50 per year.

    I didn’t know it could turn your desktop into a toy, I thought it was more like all those other wallpaper apps which just “help” you switch between images. Have you found the live wallpapers to be much of a battery drain on Android?

      Yeah it’s drains battery a bit faster, but I’ll usually end my day ~%25 vs ~%40 without. You can also change frame rate and quality of playback to min max performance

      I’ve barely seen any effect on battery life, though it depends on how much it’s actively using your device, polling for user input or playing sounds.
