When you do an image search, we find that it is typical that you will look through many pages of search results. So 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
