Google released a preview of the new Google Contacts interface. Powered by Material Design, the new Google Contacts improves some of the existing features: finding duplicates, Google Profile integration, while adding some new features: a list of recent messages, Hangouts sidebar.
"The new Google Contacts comes with a fresh look and feel, and conveniently pools together all your contacts, circles, and the people you talk to most in Gmail," informs Google.
Google Contacts now finds duplicates automatically and offers to merge all of them. You can dismiss some of the suggestions and better assess if they are actually duplicates.
When you click a contact, Google now opens a card overlay with a bigger picture and more information from the Google Profile page. Google also shows the most recent email conversations and meetings with that person.
Some features aren't available yet in the new Google Contacts: importing/exporting connects, restoring contacts, printing contacts. You can still find them in the old version of Google Contacts.
For now, the new Google Contacts is not available for Google Apps users. The new interface can be found at http://ift.tt/1zFE2kb and it will be added to Gmail's contact manager over the next few weeks.
