We are expecting Samsung to release the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for their Galaxy S III smartphone at the end of August, and the update is rumored to launch on the 29th of August which is the same day as Samsung’s IFA press event.
Yesterday we saw a video of Android Jelly Bean running on the new Samsung Galaxy S III, today we have another one which gives us a better look at Google’s new mobile OS on the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Features of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean brings a host of new features and improvements over its predecessor, Ice Cream Sandwich. One of the most notable enhancements is Project Butter, which aims to make the user interface (UI) smoother and more responsive. This is achieved through triple buffering in the graphics pipeline, reducing touch latency, and synchronizing touch with vsync timing.
Another significant addition is Google Now, a personal assistant that provides timely information based on your search history and habits. For example, it can show you the weather, traffic updates, and even sports scores without you having to ask. The voice search functionality has also been improved, offering more accurate and faster results.
Enhanced Notifications and Widgets
Jelly Bean also introduces expanded notifications, allowing users to take action directly from the notification shade. For instance, you can reply to an email or call back a missed call without opening the respective apps. This feature enhances productivity and saves time.
Widgets have also received a makeover. They are now more flexible and can automatically resize to fit the available space on your home screen. This makes it easier to customize your device and ensures a more seamless user experience.
Performance and Battery Life
Performance improvements are another key aspect of the Jelly Bean update. The Galaxy S III, already known for its powerful hardware, will benefit from these software optimizations. Users can expect faster app launches, smoother scrolling, and overall better performance. Additionally, Jelly Bean includes enhancements to battery life, ensuring that your device lasts longer on a single charge.
