Google has announced that they are starting to roll out the Google Nexus Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. The update is being rolled out as an over-the-air (OTA) update, which means users will receive a notification on their devices prompting them to download and install the update.
As well as the Google Nexus, the Google Nexus 10 is also getting the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. This update is also being rolled out as an OTA update, ensuring that users of the Nexus 10 can enjoy the latest features and improvements without needing to connect their devices to a computer.
New Features in Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean brings several new features and improvements to the table. One of the most notable additions is support for Bluetooth Smart, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy. This allows devices to connect to a new generation of low-power accessories, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, without draining the battery excessively.
Another significant feature is the introduction of restricted profiles. This is particularly useful for tablets that are shared among multiple users, such as families. Parents can create restricted profiles for their children, limiting access to certain apps and content. This ensures a safer and more controlled environment for younger users.
The update also includes improvements to the graphics performance with OpenGL ES 3.0 support. This enhancement allows for better visual effects and more complex graphics in games and applications, providing a richer and more immersive user experience.
Performance and Security Enhancements
In addition to new features, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean includes several performance and security enhancements. The update brings better memory management, which helps in smoother multitasking and improved overall device performance. Users will notice faster app launches and more responsive interactions.
Security has also been a focus in this update. Android 4.3 includes SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) which provides a more robust security framework. This helps in protecting the system from potential vulnerabilities and ensures that apps behave as expected without compromising the device’s security.
As yet, there are no details on when other devices will be getting the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. However, it is expected that other Nexus devices, such as the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, will receive the update soon. Additionally, manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, and Sony are likely to roll out the update to their flagship devices in the coming months.
For those who are eager to get the update, it is recommended to check for updates manually by going to the device’s settings menu, selecting “About phone” or “About tablet,” and then tapping on “System updates.” This will prompt the device to check for available updates and download them if they are available.
As soon as we get some more information on the rollout schedule for other devices, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy the new features and improvements that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean has to offer.
