Google Reportedly Testing New Mobile Image Search Results Design

From time to time Google makes a variety of changes to its design of its websites. It’s usually nothing huge or drastic, but rather subtle changes meant to help improve the ease of use of its services. Recently it seems that Google has been testing out a new design for its image search results on mobile devices.

As you can see in the screenshots above, the image to the left is the original design where Google would place the image you selected against a black background. However as you can see in the image to the right, Google has changed the background color to a brighter color making it easier on the eyes.

Google also appears to have shifted the “X” button from the bottom right of the screen to the top right of the screen. Google has also introduced a sliding sheet at the bottom of the screen in which additional related images can be displayed as well, so if the image you’re viewing is not what you want, you can easily see the other results by scrolling down.

At the moment this testing appears to be very limited, according to the folks at Android Police. We’re not sure when Google plans to roll out this new design, if at all, but we’ll keep an eye out for it.
