Jelly Bean: what does it offer you?

Jelly Bean is available each time for a number greater of tablets, even for those old tablets little prepared to support it, as you we showed yesterday. For those who are more convinced of its virtues, in fact, we have already offered various Tutorials to update their devices (although not everyone can do it yet) and enjoy it, but those who are still undecided or do not know it, may be encouraged to do it once they know of its advantages. We present the fundamental characteristics of Jelly Bean.

Enter version 4.0. from Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, and updating Jelly Bean, 4.1., it has not been too long and it is not, in reality, that there are substantial changes between the two. Ice Cream Sandwich already introduced some of the most important novelties: facilitate multitasking allowing easier access to applications; significant improvements to the camera especially in terms of response time; simplify the management of notifications; important advances for the adaptation to the tablets of the applications designed for telephones; the possibility to install Chrome as a browser; etc. Jelly Beanfundamentally delve in these directions.

1. Agility. One of Google's main concerns is to achieve the highest degree of responsiveness possible, that is, that the response times are practically imperceptible, and that the experience of the touch control is agile and fluid. They call this in Google “Project Butter”And in Jelly Bean it has been embodied in 60 images per second and in a system that allows CPU, GPU and display to work independently.

2. Notifications. With Jelly Bean the notification screen gain prominence. You can expand a notification to see more information, reply directly to a comment, or share photos from it. Notifications from the same application appear grouped and you can manage the blocking or uninstallation of one of them also from there.

3. Camera. The novelties are not as striking as those obtained with the previous version, but a lots of small improvements that make the handling of photographic functions optimized, from the easy to switch from camera to gallery o from rear to front camera, to the possibility of deleting photos with a simple movement.

4. Keyboard and voice. The improvements in responsiveness are especially appreciated on the keyboard, although there is also progress with respect to the system of predictions and dictionary. The possibility of writing by voice recording is now available also even if you do not have an internet connection, as a functionality offline.

5. Google Now and search. Jelly Bean incorporates Google Now is a new service that allows you to do suggestions effectively based on your search history and your location. You can also access searches more quickly and you can do them for you.
