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.
Fast & smooth
With buttery graphics and silky transitions. We put Android under a
microscope, making everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. 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.
Expandable, actionable notifications.
Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying
notified and connected. Now you can take action directly from the
notifications shade. Late for a meeting? Email everyone to let them
know. Missed a call? Call them back in an instant. And because
they’re expandable, you can get an even deeper look into the things
that matter most, like multiple emails or photos on
Google+
Widgets work like magic.
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
resize on their own. Interacting with your favorite apps and
customizing your home screen has never been
easier.
Seamlessly take and share photos.
Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast;
Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just
swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the
photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t
like. Now sharing--and bragging--are a breeze.
A smarter keyboard.
Android’s dictionaries are now more accurate, more relevant. The
language model in Jelly Bean adapts over time, and the keyboard
even guesses what the next word will be before you’ve started
typing it. With improved text-to-speech 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
Accessibility.
