Compared to the current design, the new layout has less text and clutter. Instead, there's a flatter design focused on icons and images, with more color and white space. For instance, our own Engadget channel has a much larger main logo, and it's a bit easier to find channels, videos and other content. The player itself, however, remains unchanged. The new feature is obviously meant for internal testing, so there's no way of telling when, or even if, Google will launch the new design as is. In the meantime, we've reached out for more info.
