Google has just released its New Nexus devices lineup with Android 4.2 named also "Jelly Bean", You prabably wondering, What's New in Android 4.2 Jelly bean ?
Multiple user accounts
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for tablets adds multiple user-support to the OS. This way everyone in the household can have an account, which once logged in, welcomes them to their own homescreen, background, widgets and apps. Even the games keep the individual high scores and levels.
Settings center drawer in the Notifications
The expandable notifications were a welcomed addition in Android 4.1, but now in Android 4.2, you can also take various actions like toggling Wi-Fi, adjusting screen brightness, go to Airplane mode, and more.
To do so, just tap on the icon on the top right once you have the notification drawer on. It took Google a while to copy the time-saving feature that TouchWiz, SenseUI and many other manufacturer Android skins implemented a while ago. Still, it's good to have it backed in right into the OS.
Smart Gesture Typing
Forget about Swype, Android's very own Gesture typing is the new cool kid on the block. It works in a manner very similar to Swype you just Swipe your finger over the letters you want to type, lifting after each word is complete.
Photo Sphere
With Android 4.0, Google introduced the Panorama capturing mode, and now with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean users will get a cool feature dubbed Photo Sphere. It's a panorama mode on steroids and allows you to capture photos in multiple directions (up, down, left, right). Watch the demo video at the end of the article.
