Sundar Pichai, head of the division of Android and Google Chrome, just introduce Android 4.3 . It is a new update of Jelly Bean postponing once again, the expected arrival of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.
The new version of the Android 4.3 update has a modest system. One of the main changes is called Bluetooth Smart , a new Bluetooth system focused on saving battery. The novelty of greatest highlight is the “restricted profiles” (restricted profiles in Portuguese). The new feature is similar to the Windows user accounts, allowing several users to use the same device to access individual and independent settings. Even the apps available in each profile can be unique.
new camera interface was already an open secret. Both the HTC Google One Edition and Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition included the latest version of the application. Access to menus is easier so that our own finger does not hide the options, as before. The dial screen also debuts a new look, allowing you to enter special characters, typical of some countries.
The rest of the changes introduced in Android 4.3 are more technical. Although they are invisible to the eye, contribute to better usability of the system. The response to taps on the touch screen has been improved to avoid the crashes that occurred in Android from time to time. Moreover, update to OpenGL ES 3.0 brings improvements to the 3D graphics processing.
The new Android 4.3 also includes the ability to save a historic notifications . Clicking on one of them, you can see which application generated the alert. In this sense, it seems that Google has created a resource for third-party apps can read and interact with the system notifications. In practice, this means that external devices, such as Google Glass, could read, erase and manipulate alerts, preventing the appearance of duplicates.
Another novelty that may go unnoticed appears in Advanced configuration of Wi-Fi option “Scanning always available” allows the location service from Google and other applications try to find the same networks when Wi-Fi is turned off.
Android 4.3 introduces small details that make the mobile operating system from Google more efficient, but still it is not the major update that everyone expects. The rumor suggests that stronger Google plans to launch the Key Lime Pie 5.0 in October , coinciding with the fifth anniversary of Android.
