Google Play Store 3.8.15 Apk Download Free Gratis

A new Google Play Store update v3.8.15 has just started rolling out to Android devices. The new version updates 3.7.15 from the end of July, and so far outside of a minor cosmetic change, I wasn't able to pin down just what exactly is new. Something definitely is, because the apk is 300KB larger than the three previous 3.7.XX ones. Here are some historical sizes:

com.android.vending-3.5.19.apk 3.81MB
com.android.vending-3.7.11.apk 5.07MB
com.android.vending-3.7.13.apk 5.07MB
com.android.vending-3.7.15.apk 5.07MB
com.android.vending-3.8.15.apk 5.35MB

As you can see, each time the Play Store was updated to the next 3.X, there was a considerable jump in file size (as well as functionality).
Update: And here's the explanation for the increase in size: Google Is Gearing Up To Finally Introduce Play Store Gift Cards and A Wishlist [APK Teardown].
The cosmetic change I was talking about is nothing more than simple underlining of tabs. It's possible there are more sizable changes in non-app parts of the Play Store, but I haven't found them just yet. If you do, definitely let us know!
Here are some things I checked for:

More tabs or sort/filter options in the My Apps UI - nada.
Long-pressing on apps in My Apps and hoping for a context menu - no way.
Anything new in app reviews/comments - you wish.
More tabs in app browsing (perhaps the return of the Just In section) - nope.
New Settings - zilch.
Saving the position in a scrolled down list of apps after clicking into an app and back - yes! Just kidding, it's not there.
New sections or UI elements on app pages - do svidanya.

And now for some screenshots and download links.
