Android 4.1 Jelly Bean - Features

July 28, 2012

Google this time has borrowed a trick from Microsoft's pack of cards. Microsoft when release newer versions of windows, they polish their previous version fist calling it a new release and the next level windows comes in next release.

Jelly bean looks on the same lines, it doesn't give the feel or impression of something as big a transition as was from Android 2.3 to 4.0 ..but looks like a more polished version of ICS.

Or it can be said that Jelly Bean is building on foundation that was laid by ICS.


What it succeeds in is, bringing new features that will eventually help big-time in improving user experience. One very significant feature that comes along with this new OS is "Project Butter", for some time now Google had been burning mid night oils over it.

Project Butter is Google's answer to all the critics who thought, if any thing android lacks is smooth functioning or a real buttery smooth functioning. To get this to all new level, Google has made Jelly Bean run at 60 fps subject to hardware allow-ability.




It adds touch responsiveness, where in phone can anticipate and predict where your finger will be next on the screen and go on pre load animations that you might need. Fascinating stuff ! Check out the video ! 

Lets see some of the other features it brings to the table -




1. Much improved notification center with expandable and actionable items.

2. UI of gallery has been revamped to make it more easy to swap around and share.

3. Offline voice recognition and typing.

4. Updated widget responses and usability.

5. Google search interface is a whole new experience.

6. Google with jelly bean now adds automatic information feeds to device (traffic, sports etc)

7. High resolution contact photos are a much awaited and welcome change.

8. Bi-Directional text and added language support.

9. Lock screen goes for bit of makeover and brings in new styling to unlock device.

With incorporation of the above features in ICS i.e Jelly Beans , it is arguably the best OS till date. With Android capturing the major chunk of market across globe, jelly bean is set to be a huge success and strengthen Google's position in OS market.

If you have managed to use Jelly Beans, do share your thoughts via comments.
