For the last few years, the Google Search bar on the Pixel Launcher has had a fairly consistent design, offering the ability to quickly search or activate the Google Assistant. This search bar’s “G” has also served as a fun additional surface for artwork and animations related to a particular day’s Google Doodle.
As spotted today by one of our readers, Google is testing a new design tweak for the Pixel Launcher search bar, adding the (older) Lens logo to the right of the button used to launch the Assistant. As you would expect, tapping this button launches directly into the Google Lens app, just like the similar Lens button in the Google Search app’s main search bar.
