Updates on Android Jelly Bean

Highlights of Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean.

Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android.

  • Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
  • Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
  • Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your 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.

When Android Development Team decided that there are nothing much to add on into Android OS but to fine tune the OS, they really mean it. In Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean, there was not many new add-ons to the OS. What the team promised was to improves on the simplicity and to enhance user experience. The first thing is the improvement on speed. Why? If you ever used IOS or even Windows 7.5 Mango OS, you will find that out of the 3 OS, Android is the slowest among the 3. For this new update, they finally improve on the speed. 

Here is a video on the comparison between Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean on a Galaxy Nexus.(1st model to get official update to JB).



Pretty impressive, huh….
