Google app tests new colorful shortcut buttons for Search

The icons highlight some of Google Search's more hidden features.

The four buttons are for Gallery, Translate, Homework, and Sing features, which already exist in different places in the Google app. The colors used in the Google app beta are light and pastel versions of orange, blue, green, and red. While the new buttons seem to have mixed availability in the beta version of the Google app, plans for a public release are currently unclear.
