Google's Play Store is easily the most accessed app ever. Being the official Android Apps market for all Android phones, anybody and everybody with an Android smartphone uses the Play Store app multiple times a day, whether it is to download new apps, discover new apps, update their present apps, buy books, Google Play Music, comics and even movies. Play Store is a one stop shop for all Android users. And Google is working on improving the user experience. Fresh leaks of the Play Store v4.0 UI confirm the same.
Google Play Store v4.0
The new Google Play v4 brings a re-designed UI that is inspired by the Holo UI. Holo UI is showing it's dominance strongly nowadays, with the official Whatsapp team having only recently updated their official (and uber popular) Whatsapp application inspired by the Holo UI.
We really liked the card style UI. Droid Life and Android Police got their hands on the latest APK. The fonts are bigger, images are bigger (and hence more prominent), and more. Individual sections such as Music, Books, Apps have got slightly different layouts and a matching color scheme for each of the sections.
As usual, you see the Editor's Choice. Everything together gives a very Google Now like feel. Hence we mentioned the Cards style UI.
Here is a video demo showing more of the features:

Sadly, the APK file wasn't shared. Most features aren't fully functional anyways, as of now. Expect the update to hit Android devices soon.
