Android Jelly Beans

Last year Google came up with the new version of their Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. this year, taking a wise decision, they released the updated version of the Ice Cream Sandwich i.e. Android Jelly Beans 4.1. Instead of jumping to next OS, they simply upgraded the older OS and it was a wise step taken to make the foundation of OS 4.0 stronger. Android 3.0 HoneyComb was mostly adopted by the tablets and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is mostly adopted by the smartphones. Android 4.0 is present in only limited smartphones which came out in last 6-8 months. The newer and updated version Jelly Beans is built for both tablets and the smartphones. 

The Apple users who shift from iPhone to Android complain about Android interface and working but with the introduction of the Ice Cream Sandwich many of their complaints have been overcome. The new version of Android OS has taken a step ahead and has overcome the faults which Ice Cream Sandwich had. The outlook of Jelly Beans is not much different from the Ice Cream Sandwich. Jelly Beans has come up with the new overhaul notifications having better backlight and interface. The font size of the notifications has also been increased making it more readable. 

Widgets have been a plus point of the Android over the iOS and in Jelly Beans their use have been enhanced greatly. In Jelly Beans, users can make a customized layout of widgets on the home screen according to the requirements.  Users can also resize the icons by tapping and holding the icon. Blue dots appear on the all four sides of the icon and you can resize by grabbing any corner.  The new OS has aptly been named as the Google Now by providing the search engine bar on the home screen. Users can access any sort of search on the desktop of the smartphone and it doesn’t require installing any software for it. 

Android Jelly Beans doesn’t stop here. There are many others small but useful features in it.  Beta version of the Google Chrome has finally released and it is pre-installed in the OS. The keyboard platform provided by Ice Cream Sandwich was considered to be best but Jelly Beans has beaten previous OS in this case. Jelly Beans provides you with the better, smarter and accurate keyboard. Google has made Jelly Beans very smart. Jelly Beans have been beefed up by the Blink Detection, it allows the users to get a lively image. Before, it asks the user blink to confirm you are a living being. Photo viewing in new OS is much better than the Ice Cream Sandwich.

The new OS is a updated version of the Ice Cream Sandwich, not a entirely different and new OS. It is not a big step by the Google but still it is a considerable innovative work. Now the Android has become quite fast and fulfilling the user’s requirements and demands. Its notifications and widgets have excelled over the iOS. Users would adopt this OS but it is a fact that they are looking for a new OS by Android to which they can switch.
