Google Play Store will show how the app will look on different devices
Google Play Store is testing the app preview feature for different types of devices: smartphones, Chromebooks, and TVs.
By selecting a device in the new menu, users can preview how the app will look before downloading it and get additional information such as the size of the downloaded file, the number of downloads, and the rating of a particular version.
The video was posted on Twitter by @AssembleDebug. He suggests that the innovation will make the Install on other devices feature more useful.
Google Play is testing a new thing that adds chips to the details page of an app as shown in the video below. Tapping on a different option shows different ratings, downloads, screenshots, etc. according to the device type such as TV, Watch, Tablet, Phone and Chromebooks. pic.twitter.com/PkHcpVj3Px

There is no guarantee that the feature will be available to everyone, but it has the potential to make the Play Store more user-friendly, as opposed to showing ads directly in the Play Store search bar.
