Google will be bringing a new Material Design update to its Play Store. Material Design will be also coming through the Android L update.

Android lovers are waiting for the new L update and while the official launch is almost here, we bumped into an update for the Google Play Store which is dripping with the new Material Design. 

Just last week we saw a similar update on the Google Play Newsstand which has the same new UI. The Google Play Store 5.0 has a new flatter icon with a shopping bag around the logo and a flat UI with all the menus flipping in like cards just like Google Now. Other than the UI, there isn’t any huge update that we have noticed. The update is not yet out but should start seeding soon. 

If you want to try out the new Play Store update you can download the APK and sideload the app by copying it to your device. Here is a link to download the APK, make sure you are not running the Android L developer preview as it could harm the device.
