Rumored Google Play Store redesign leaks ahead of Android L release

Google has promised to reshape the entire look of Android L with a flat and almost paper like Material Design scheme, and now it seems that new look will also extend to the Google Play Store.

Android Police got ahold of leaks screenshots showing off a flatter and much more streamlined Google Play Store. From the leaked shots we can see the interface has been rejiggered for a simpler look with fewe r frame containing images and text.

Rather than splaying out the information on an app across an entire device's screen, the supposed Material Design rehash moves everything to a centralized pane.

On smaller smartphone screens, it seems Google also plans to bring a greater focus to apps themselves. From the purported preview we can see the description has been bumped to a higher position on the page, while moving stars and sharing options to a lower section.

Made for media

Media on Google's virtual store, including movies and music, will supposedly get the biggest overhaul. When looking at films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel users will be able to play a trailer attached to the top of the page.

Music albums, meanwhile, will have their artwork blown up to stand in as the background for the entire page.

Overall it's a much cleaner and attractive look than the busy webpage aesthetic of the current Play Store.

The new look m atches the redesigns the search company has made to Google Plus and Drive, but keep in mind these are leaked shots from pre-released software. Before Google actually pulls back the veil on any of these redesigns, anything and everything could change.
