This ranking will affect the appearance of the application in search results and recommendations on the homepage, this aims to ensure that the first application that users find is an application that can work well on their device.
Google also mentioned that the Play Store will start showing user reviews and ratings of devices in the same category.
For example, mobile phone users will be able to see reviews given by other mobile phone users, as well as tablet users, can also see reviews given by tablet users.
That way, they can get a better reference on how well the app will work on their type of device.
