In this new update the changes are minor , and especially in the visual aspect, it is necessary to have a sharp eye to discover the small touches.

That is why the small changes in the interface are constant, such as the new appearance of the content pages when the mobile is held horizontally, preventing the white part with application name or content go from end to end of screen. This leaves the background image as a frame for a card with information that looks more stylish, despite not being too big of a change.
Another minor cosmetic change is the automatic disappearance of the action bar, where the magnifying glass and options are located Google Play when browsing the page of any content.
