Google is beta testing a new user interface for the mobile usability report within the Google Search Console. Conrad O’Connell posted screen shots of the new interface for the report on his blog. Here are those screen shots:

Google launched the mobile usability report within the Google Search Console back on October 29, 2014. Since then, it really has not updated much. The new version seems to show the same data and graphs but is wrapped around a new interface.

The new interface looks like the new version of the mobile testing tool that was also leaked early, and then Google launched it to the public shortly after. It looks to me as if Google is slowly migrating their tools to this new user interface within the Search Console URL structure.
