Google Play Gets A Design Refresh

Google announced a new redesign for Google Play on Android smartphones and tablets. It starts rolling out today.

Google says the design is “simple, clean and – most importantly – helps you find great entertainment, fast.”

“The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page,” says group product manager Michael Siliski. “Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try. As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We’ve also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content.”

Here’s a look:
