Google My Business Local Listings Showing Massive Photos

Mordy Oberstein posted on Twitter a GIF of a Google local panel for a business showing a new interface for displaying photos of the business. The photos are really large and show in a grid-like format. This is not the normal interface, so it seems Google is testing this.

Here is his tweet with the GIF:

Looks like Google is testing a showing of massive photos via the Local Panel! (At least, I've never seen this before).

The mobile UI has been like this for some time but the desktop user interface may be testing it now.
