DHAKA: Ahead of the expected unveiling of Android L, Google has started rolling out a new version of the Play Store that features Material Design elements, part of the new version of its mobile operating system.

Google Play Store version 5.0.31 comes with a flatter design but features bolder colours, reports The Times of India on Monday.

The update also brings some UI changes in line with Android L, the report added.

However, the new version of the Google Play Store comes with a redesigned menu bar with colour coded section names.

Moreover, the 'what's new' section for app listings is also placed at the top and is highlighted with a different colour, so users no longer need to scroll down to check on recent changes.
