Android Jelly Bean 4.3 : Hidden Features Revealed

Yes, New Android 4.3 Version (Jelly Bean) is an update to the Jelly Bean release that offers new features for users and app developers. Android 4.3, Jelly Bean improves on the speed and simplicity of Android 4.1 and includes all new features – Photo Sphere and a completely redesigned camera app, new Gesture Typing keyboard, Google Now with all new cards, and much more.

• Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning the pages of a book.
• Jelly Bean improves performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, quicker 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 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.
• Here are some of the things that are new in Android 4.3 so far:
  • Even when you turn off WiFi, it’ll stay on a bit in the background to help with location services — unless you dig even deeper into the advanced settings to really turn it off. 
  • Bluetooth Low Energy is now supported, allowing for wireless, short-range communications with certain devices (like smart watches) while using less power.
  • There are a few new developer options for testing/debugging.
  • The default “Roboto” font has been updated. Android Police has an analysis of the new font, as well as download links for folks that want to install it on devices that aren’t yet running Android 4.3.
  • Third-party Android 4.3 apps may be able to totally replace the default notification system. Hello Facebook Home?
  • It looks like you may have an option in the default Android 4.3 app drawer to sort apps and widgets by frequency of use. Right now apps can only be sorted alphabetically.
  Keep in mind, these changes were all found in a leaked build of a pre-release version of Android 4.3. It’s possible that some or all of these features won’t be available in the final release. It’s also possible that we’ll see more new features if and when Google officially launches Android 4.3.
  We’ll probably have to wait until the launch of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie before we see more dramatic changes to the operating system though.
