Have you noticed the Google “pill” widget on the Pixel launcher doesn’t bear much resemblance to the traditional search box? Well, it looks like Google is changing that. Several users have noticed a new search box design popping up on their devices. It’s curvier and cleaner looking.
The widget in question is the 4×1 search bar, which you can find in the Google app. Instead of the squared off edges and colorful full “Google” logo, you get the rounded ends and “G” logo with a mic at the other end.
Google appears to be testing a new, rounder search widget was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
