Implementing a darker theme on mobile devices offers several advantages. Reduced eye strain, especially in low-light environments, is a primary benefit. Furthermore, on devices with OLED screens, a darker interface can contribute to battery life extension by reducing the power consumption of illuminated pixels. The introduction of this theme reflects a broader trend towards accommodating user preferences for visual comfort and energy efficiency.
