The makeover does not stand out evidently but once when you dig deep, changes about the overall look are noticed. The biggest change in the app and content pages would see users enjoy new animations, cover photos and videos which will be featured in a more prominent manner at the top. Other changes include the ability to view app descriptions and change logs in a full screen mode.

The new Play Store has more white space and larger header images as compared to the current Play Store. Google has moved the share and Google+ buttons down beneath the reviews section. These images are mostly in the background and are similar to album art images. Also, more focus has been added on bringing the content forefront.

Google said that the new design is already rolling out to devices but might take some time for a complete rollout.
