Google Contacts redesign helps Android users quickly get the info they want with less clutter

The contacts page is one of the most unappreciated destinations on your phone. And considering that the device that is on your person all day is indeed a phone, having a list of phone numbers that you might need at a moment’s notice is nice to have. You might recall that when the iPhone was first unveiled in January 2007, a lot of the comments made the next day in the mainstream media were about the “roulette wheel” scrolling for phone numbers on the contacts menu.

Underneath those fields are buttons allowing you to add an email address, a significant date, the person’s address, and more. The bottom line is that instead of cluttering up the Google Contacts page with fields that appear whether you have that information, need it, or even want it, the new look page will only show the aforementioned four fields and any additional ones selected by you. This should make it faster to find the information you want and it certainly makes Google Contacts look less cluttered.
