Today, we will talk about the recent release of
Google's Android OS, which is Android 4.1, codenamed Jelly Bean . This version
is marketed with three main differences, be faster, smoother , and more responsive
than ICS . It is mainly intended to rival the iOS release introduces several advantages.
We will talk about the two operating systems one at a time and then move on to
compare the two.
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
There is a common saying among techie when there is a
new version of Windows, the latest version is always slower than its
predecessor . Fortunately, it does not happen to Android. So I can proudly
announce Android Jelly Bean as the fastest and most smooth this time. When we
look at what 's new in Jelly Bean , there are some differences .
The first thing to remember is that, Jelly Bean is
more responsive to the touch. Jelly Bean introduces the concept of extending
vsync in the UI. In layman's terms this means that, every event in the OS will
sync with the 16 millisecond vsync heartbeats. Normally, when we use the phone
after a period of inactivity, can tend to be slow and a little less responsive.
Jelly Bean removes that CPU input boost by adding a touch to make sure the CPU
is allocated to the next event after some time of inactivity.
From the first, notifications bar has become one of
the main linkages in Android. Jelly Bean did a refresher for notification
framework that allows applications to access it in a way that is more diverse. For
example, any application can now display additional notifications that supports
various types of content such as images and dynamic content. The browser is
also improved, with some additional language support allows more consumers to
make use of Android in their native language.
When we see the default application, Google Now no
doubt is the most widely discussed app. Google Now provides important
information to you, at any particular. This application is a learning
application that can quickly adapt to your habits and displays your information
in the form of cards. For example, you go on a business trip, and you are out
of the country, Google Now will show you the local time and the relevant
exchange rate. This app will also help you reserve voluntary return ticket. This
app can also act as a digital personal assistant like Siri on Apple . Besides
obvious differences, there are many new features and changes on the back end to
use this feature to come up with cool things.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the successor to
Honeycomb and Gingerbread. You may be wondering why I use two operating systems
to introduce ICS; was because Honeycomb and Gingerbread built for two different
purposes. Honeycomb is newer than Gingerbread, but optimized for the tablet
while the more dominant Gingerbread for smartphones. When ICS was introduced, I
want to synergy between them and incorporate them in the ICS. Therefore Simple,
beautiful and smart as advertised. This version is the first Android operating
system that introduces an integrated UI for tablets and smartphones.
In addition to the revolutionary UI , ICS is also
optimized for multitasking . This enables more users to switch seamlessly
between applications and notifications panel. Folders can be shown to the Home
screen that can be used to group some icons. Widgets are also resizable which a
significant advantage is. Lock screen has a new feature where you can jump
directly to the camera application and notification. Examination of the text
and pronunciation has also been improved .
A powerful sound engine was introduced for use
against Apple's Siri though necessary applications still need to be engineered.
In terms of application, you can use the app “People “which offers a lot of
information about all of the profiles. This app is a user- centric system where
everything about the user can be found in one place, including social media profiles,
etc. Furthermore, the ability of the camera has also been improved with several
new features that allow users to take artistic pictures.
A Brief Comparison between Android Ice Cream Sandwich
and Jelly Bean (Android 4.0 vs. 4.1)
- Jelly Bean faster, smoother and more responsive than ICS because vsync unit features an extended time in all the UI elements.
- Jelly Bean can respond more quickly even when the phone is off because the CPU input a new boost.
- Jelly Bean has a versatile notification bar where applications can create live notifications with a variety of dynamic content.
- Jelly Bean has a smart applications and resizable widgets.
- Google Now in Jelly Bean, which offers a unique usage patterns and attractive to users.
- if you are familiar with ICS , then turned to Jelly Bean will not have much trouble at all .
