Google is testing a new design for the mobile search result snippets. Google is boxing in the snippet, the description text, of a specific listing in a gray-shaded curved box.
This somewhat reminds me of the early featured snippet perspectives design but now this is for a normal search result snippet.
Saad AK spotted this and posted two screencasts of this in action, which I embedded below. Here is a screenshot from that screencast:

What do you think of this design?
Forum discussion at Twitter.
Update: Dark view version:
Woah, this Google SERP UI is pretty different looking. Meta descriptions above the page titles, bigger font for meta descriptions, different colors for the meta descriptions, etc.
