Think it's not possible but you could create your custom picker dialog design following this post Apply styles on Picker items in Xamarin Forms.

Following the previous answer, you could also use SyncFusion Xamarin ComboBox, tho it might need a license (not sure)

The Website contains information about it as well as code samples and examples on how to set it up, also have other "Types" of ComboBox.

do you NEED a license tho? I've been using said libraries without purchasing anything, it just sends a pop-up at the beginning of the program – AcisSys Jul 07 '22 at 10:38
The trial license is temporary. The Community License provides free access to Syncfusion Essential Studio products for companies and individuals with less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue and 5 or fewer developers. – MrSpt Jul 07 '22 at 10:41

You could use Xamarin.Forms.ComboBox. Install it from Manage NuGet Packages.

Xaml:

  <combobox:ComboBox x:Name="comboBox" 
                           ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsSource}"                                   
                           SelectedItemChanged="ComboBox_SelectedItemChanged"                                
                           Visual="Material">
            <combobox:ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <ViewCell>
                        <Label Text="{Binding .}" Padding="5,5,0,0"/>
                    </ViewCell>
                </DataTemplate>
            </combobox:ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        </combobox:ComboBox>

Code:

public partial class Page3 : ContentPage
{
    public Page3()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.BindingContext=new Page3ViewModel();
    }

    private void ComboBox_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, SelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        comboBox.Text = comboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();
    }       
}

public class Page3ViewModel
{
    public List<string> ItemsSource { get; set; }   
    public Page3ViewModel()
    {
        ItemsSource = new List<string>()
        {
            "Item1",
            "Item2",
            "Item3",
            "Item4"
        };

    }
  }
  }
