Unlike the previous version, the new format has much more defined borders and accentuates the older card-box view. It remains unclear how widespread the test is, but TNW staffers still see the older design.

Still, it is not out-of-the-ordinary for Google to polish on its designs.

We’ve reached out to Google for further comment about the updated Material Design layout and will share more details if we hear back.
