The New Android: Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
It appears that the new version of the Android operating system is going to be stuck with the current name for a little bit longer. Google has just announced an update on its mobile OS and named it neither Key Lime Pie, nor Kandy Cane, but simply Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. While the lack of newness in the name may let some people down, a number of new features included in the upgraded OS are awesome enough to cheer Android fans up.
1. Photo Sphere Camera
Google has made use of some of its Street View camera techniques and come up with a new camera app, Photo Sphere, in Android 4.2. It allows you to capture 360-degree panoramas. Once you have created your own panoramas, you can choose to share them on Google+ or contribute them to Google Maps for the whole world to see.
Swiftkey is old-fashioned. Using Gesture Typing, you can now type by gliding your finger over the letters. The smart keyboard will automatically add a space every time you lift your finger after each word. It will also try to figure out what you want to type, so you don’t even have to finish your sentence by typing but by selecting the suggested words.
3. Multiple Users Support


4. Wireless Display
Whatever it is on your screen, be it a movie, a YouTube video or a game, Android 4.2 allows your device to stream it directly to an HDMI-enabled TV. Get the wireless display adapter ready and connect it to your telly. Now you can enjoy your multimedia collection on the big screen.
5. Google Now

Fascinating, right? The new OS will first power the LG-made Nexus 4 and the Samsung-made Nexus 10, both of which will be launched in the UK on 13 November. Let’s wait and see how it performs.
