Google does it again: this will be Google Play Store 6.0
In Google they can't stop tweaking details and functions in their services and applications And they are well aware that the market for new technologies is in constant evolution, and it is necessary to be updated so as not to lose positions in a race where there are more and more competitors. Perhaps for this reason clues have begun to emerge about the new step that is about to take: renew the look of your app store for the umpteenth timeThis is what the new version of Google Play Store will look like.
This time the redesign is not totally radical, focusing rather on a question of order and improvement of the user experience Something that, presumably, will replace the menu with the six categories that divide the contents of this store of applications, games and entertainment, for only two Thus, books, movies, magazines and music would now be included in the Entertainment section, this being well differentiated from the newApps and Games One more way to differentiate the content that can be purchased and downloaded in the terminal so that no one makes a mistake. Something that also frees up space at the top of the screen for ads and recommendations about them featured content
The information and images come from a Google worker, so it seems that the change is inevitable and it will happen sooner rather than later Something that, with no confirmed date at the moment, could begin to arrive soon along with the latest version of the Android operating system And, in both cases, they would match the version number 6.0At the moment we can only wait, already knowing many of its novelties when ordering all this content.
Thus, the published images show a new tutorial start to show the new distribution. Two tabs to access all the content well separated between applications and games, and the rest of the entertainment available.All this being able to jump between one and another part of Google Play Store with just slide a finger to the left or right
Once inside one section or another, it is possible to see the usual categories in small buttons. On the one hand the usual subgenres of games, categories, top sellers or family of applications and games; and on the other hand the sections of books, movies, music or magazines of the new category Entertainment. Buttons that break somewhat with the tabs seen to date, and that don't seem to fit entirely with the scheme Material Design , which does not rely on colored buttons. However, it seems effective so that the user does not run into reading or viewing content when browsing applications and games.
A change that is not too drastic and that can help to understand all the contents offered in this store, beyond the applications. Although it can also be redundant when creating one more category and one more screen to jump between one product and another. What is clear is that Google continues to innovate and tweak. So much so that even among these published images we can see an evolution of the different redesigns that it has gone through Google Play Store
