Android 4.2 A new Flavor of Jelly Bean
Android 4.2: A new flavor of Jelly Bean.
Android 4.2 takes the speed and
simplicity of Jelly Bean to a different level – a completely new camera
experience that’s beyond smart, a new form of typing that helps you power
through your messages, and much more.
Simple,
Beautiful and Beyond Smart
One
tablet, many users.
It’s your fully customized tablet.
And theirs, too. With support for multiple users, you can give each person
their own space. Everyone can have their own home screen, background, widgets,
apps and games – even individual high scores and levels! And since Android is
built with multitasking at its core, it’s a snap to switch between users – no
need to log in and out. Available only on tablets.
Share
what’s on your phone on the big screen.
Android 4.2 allows devices to enable
wireless display. You can share movies, YouTube videos, and anything that’s on
your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a wireless display adapter to any
HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily.
Daydream.
Daydream lets your Android device
display useful and delightful information when idle or docked. Show off your
photo albums, get the latest news from Google Currents, and more.
Expandable,
actionable notifications.
Android has always put you in
control when it comes to staying notified and connected. Just swipe down from
the top of the screen to see all your notifications in one place. Late for a
meeting or missed a call? Take action in an instant directly from the
notifications shade.
Fast
and smooth.
We put Android under a microscope,
making everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. With buttery graphics and silky
transitions, moving between home screens and switching between apps is
effortless, like turning pages in a book.
More reactive and uniform touch
responses mean you can almost feel the pixels beneath as your finger moves
across the screen. Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by
boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it
down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
Beam
photos and videos.
With Android Beam on Jelly Bean you
can now easily share your photos and videos with just a simple tap, in addition
to sharing contacts, web pages, YouTube videos, directions, and apps. Just
touch two NFC-enabled Android devices back-to-back, then tap to beam whatever
on the screen to your friend.
With Jelly Bean it's now even easier
to personalize your home screen. As you place widgets on the screen, everything
else automatically moves to make room. When they're too big, widgets re-size on
their own. Interacting with your favorite apps and customizing your home screen
has never been easier.
Accessibility.
Enable screen magnification to
easily zoom or pan the entire screen to get a closer look. Visually impaired
users can now enter full-screen magnification with a triple-tap on the screen,
and even type and interact with the device while zoomed in. Blind users can use
Gesture Mode to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in
combination with speech output.
Best
of Google
Live
in the Now.
Google Now brings you the
information you need, when and where you need it, before you even ask. Google
Now tells you today's weather before you start your day, or when the next train
will arrive as you’re standing on the platform. With the latest version, you
can see popular photo spots nearby, track packages easily, get information
about upcoming movies, and much more.
A
new look for Google Search.
It's easier than ever to quickly get
answers, explore, and browse search results. Android also lets you search the
web with your voice, and it's convenient for getting quick answers on the fly.
It speaks back to you and is powered by the Knowledge Graph,
bringing you a precise answer if it knows it, and precisely ranked search
results, so you can always find out more.
Amazing
Photo Sphere camera
Up, down and all around you, it’s
like no camera you’ve ever seen. With Android 4.2, snap pictures in every
direction that come together into incredible, immersive photo spheres that put
you right inside the scene. View your photo spheres right on your phone, share
them on Google+ with your friends and family, or even add them to Google Maps
for the world to see.
A
smarter keyboard, now with Gesture Typing
Writing messages on the go is easier
than ever with Gesture Typing – just glide your finger over the letters you
want to type, and lift after each word. You don’t have to worry about spaces
because they’re added automatically for you.
The keyboard can anticipate and
predict the next word, so you can finish entire sentences just by selecting
suggested words. Power through your messages like never before.
Android's dictionaries are now more
accurate and relevant. With improved speech-to-text capabilities, voice typing
on Android is even better. It works even when you don't have a data connection,
so you can type with your voice everywhere you go.
