Google Refines Image Search for Android and iPhone
We all have searched for some images on Google and most of the time got the required image on the first page itself. If we are surfing on a computer then it is most likely that we go to the second page as well. May be third too, just to look if any better option is there. But, if the search is performed using a phone, Android or iPhone, then it becomes quite important to optimize the results to enable user to view as many images on a page, scan through pages fast etc.
Considering this in mind, Google has redesign mage Search for mobiles.
In the redesign of Google Image Search for mobile, available today for iPhone 3.0+ and Android 2.1 devices, we focused on making it easy to quickly see as many image thumbnails as possible:
- The thumbnails are square to maximize the number of images we can get on the screen at one time so you can scan them quickly
- You can swipe to see the next or previous page of results, or tap the large, stationary ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ page buttons
- We optimized for speed so that the images appear quickly when you browse
When it comes to viewing the images, we now make them as large as possible by introducing a special image viewing page:
- The black background emphasizes the image and the buttons fade after a few seconds so you can just see images with little distraction
- Easily browse through the images by swiping from picture to picture
