Is YouTube for Mobile Web Getting a (Minor) Redesign?

Google embraced Material Design as its design mantra in 2014 and since then most of its properties - both apps and their web equivalents - have received a fresh coat of paint. But some are yet to. Coincidentally they are also its biggest and most popular. Like Gmail, Calendar and YouTube. While Google was definitely testing a YouTube redesign for desktop web earlier this May, an official rollout is yet to materialise. But in the meantime, it also appears to be testing a minor mobile web redesign for YouTube. Take a look below -
