Google prepares a new version of Google Play
The leaks are the order of the day. It does not matter if it is the last smartphone to hit the market, of supposed applications that are to arrive or, in this case, from one of the platforms from which to download the latter. Thus, several pages of Internet are echoing a video that shows an early stage of the new design of Google Play in which the company of Mountain View would be working for users of Android A most peculiar aspect change that could soon reach all smartphones and tablets of this operating system
As we say, it is a video that shows what appears to be a change of appearance of this platform from which to downloadapplications, but also purchase songs, books, movies and magazines All this framed this time in the Holo style, present on devices with operating system Android 4.0 and later A style in the predominantly straight lines, with tabs and menus more elegant and minimalist Something that, for What you see, you also want to take to Google Play, yes, respecting the colors and current sections , so the change would not be too drastic.
According to the video (below), this is the version 4.0 of Google Play, so this new design would arrive again through a update Surely, a silent update, changing said design from one day to the next, as we are used to Google As seen in the video, it is not yet a complete and finished version , still finding blank screens, but it is possible to see an approximation of what you want to achieve in specific sections likeMusic, Apps, and more
These sections are now reflected by a bar at the top of the screen with its color characteristic and a pixelated design It modifies the menu icon, which now appears with three dots, as it happens in the rest of OS with layout HoloIn addition, if a section has submenus, these are located just below the top bar, being able to move from one to another with only clicking on it, or by scrolling to the right. Something very similar to what is seen in the Metro style of terminals with Windows Phone
However, along with these visual changes, you can also see operational innovations For example, finally The screen thanking the user for downloading an application, and forcing them to press the button Continue shopping, has disappearedto perform a new search. Something that extends the time of use of this platform unnecessarily. Instead, a pop-up window has been inserted to learn the permissions required by an application. Something that will help users to know to what extent the application to be downloaded can be accessed.
For now we don't know when this new version of Google Play will arrive The bets suggest that Google could present it during their conference Google I/O next month of may Even so, from what is clear from this information, it is still an early version, so it is possible that thefinal appearance and functions change For now it looks like a successful design to match the rest of the menus and style of current terminals.
