TL;DR Google Play Store v51.7 delivers a major usability refresh, with a cleaner and more consistent experience across Android phones, Android TV, and Android Auto.
Purchase and download dialogs have been redesigned, making app installs and purchases look more modern and easier to navigate.
App deals are now much harder to miss, with clearer sale prices, discount details, and expiration dates displayed directly on listings.

The result is a much cleaner, unified UI, whether you’re tapping away on your main phone, browsing your living room Android TV, or checking your car’s Android Auto dashboard.
