Google Ads With Review Star

Google Ads is testing a new layout for review stars for a product in the mobile sponsored results within Google Search. I am pretty sure I've seen this layout before, but it is not common and I don't think I covered it before.

This gives the review start real estate a lot more room and actually makes the ad stand out a lot more, and I kind of like how it looks.

This was spotted by Sachin Patel who posted a screenshot on X:
