Google prepares a new design for the Android app store
Rumors about the new version of the operating system Android 4.4, better known as KitKat , continue to reach newsrooms and media around the world. And it is that, if the agreement between Nestlé and Google were not enough, now there are new leaks that would support this issue. Or at least that Google is still very concerned that its services wear the latest designThis is the case of Google Play Store, the store of applications, movies, books and music for terminals Android, which would be preparing a new design for what it would be (what a coincidence) your version 4.4.
That is what emerges from the images published by the well-known blog Android Police Filtered screenshots of what would be a one more step in the evolution of this content store for smartphones and Android tablets And it is that , although visual changes are shown, it seems they are not too major variations, stating that it would be just an indication of the new design that is still to come, supposedly. Something that, on the other hand, is not surprising given the concern of Google for the design of its services, which are updated every so often to match the lines of the moment.
What you can see in the leaked images is a new menu style to move around Google Play Thus, the pop-up menus that appear from the bottom of the screen would be set aside to show some new, larger and drop-down menus from the left side of the screen. A type of menu already seen in many other applications such as YouTube or Google Play Music, with larger titles and more comfortable handling.
According to comments in Android Police, this would be just one of the changes that Google is preparing for its new version of the content store, which is yet to be confirmed if it will arrive with the new operating system Android KitKat In addition, Rumor has it that this style modification would come with other more notable changes that according towould continue betting on card design. That is, by showing the information of each content in boxes that separate and improve readability. Something that can already be seen when navigating between applications or music discs, but that would be even more exploited.
This version of Google Play Store is currently an early leak. A first step in what could be the new content store for Android that is about to arrive. Of course, there is still no official confirmation, so we will have to wait to find out more details and if this change will finally reach users. The arrival date is not known, nor if it will coincide with Android KitKat, but it helps to continue speculating about this new version of the operating system of Google Of course, all the clues point to this being the case, both due to recent information about the terminal Nexus 5 and the dance of dates between Google and Nestlé for the presentation of the new version of Android
