Android 4.3: Does this need update?
Google has recently launched the new Jelly Bean version of Android 4.3. Right now I guess we are having only new Nexus 7 tablet with this new android Jelly Bean version. But already many mobile companies have promised to give this latest updates for many of their phones in short time. So it is good news for users who have recently purchased latest high end phone, as the can expect this update for their phone soon enough. We can even expect new mobile smart phones comes with this latest android version. So if you are thinking about purchasing a new phone then you can wait a little more for having more options. Now what about those users who are currently using old Jelly Bean version? Is it really worthwhile to go for this new update on their phone of course when it is available? Well for answering these questions first we have to know about what new features and updates this new version is offering. So first let’s see about new features offered by Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version.
New features offered by Android 4.3
Multiple user profiles: Personally I like this new feature offered by Google. Just like windows Admin of android can have multiple user profiles for different users on his/her android phone. Actually it is more user friendly for tablet as it can have multiple users on the same house. If one tablet is having more than one user then parent user can create different user profiles for each user. Like this way each user can have feel having their personal android home and functions. I mean by customizing different profiles each user will get different home screens so that they can decorate it as they like. They can put widgets they like and nobody except them can make change. Not only that, they can have different scores and data for the same app and game running on that device. So it is quite interesting and unique. So having such option on a tablet which is having more users is one of handy feature. The main purpose of this function is to restrict other users to make changes what parent user has made.
Smart Ready Bluetooth: Now Google has given Smart ready Bluetooth function on this latest Android version. This will make Bluetooth working more efficient to the devices which supports Bluetooth 4.0 version. With smart Ready feature now your android device can support low-energy Bluetooth devices like thermometers and pedometers. So now Bluetooth feature of your phone can be useful to you in more ways.
More Security: This version of android is more secure with sandbox for each application. It means now each application will run under its own sandbox which will not allow it to access any of your other data without your permission. So now you and your data are even safer with this latest android version 4.3. Plus Google is already maintaining huge database of viruses which can harm your android device, so with help of that your android device will automatically scan for viruses after you install any application on your android phone which will save your device from different kind of viruses. So with this latest update now your android phone is even more secure.
Notification Panel: This is always most busy part of any android phone as user keep opening it to checkout different notifications. With the latest version of android now users can get even more smart notification panel. Now you can get all of your notifications (including notification of all social apps) at one place just by swapping down from the top screen. Not only that with this you can take actions too for those notification directly from notification bar. For example, you can directly call back from your miss called notification from the notification bar. So with this new android version accessing your notifications and taking actions on them is now faster than before. As far as I have heard Google have opened developer option for notification bar. So with this you can have more development from the users if you allow.
Improved Graphics with OpenGL ES 3.0: This can give better performance to users who love to play videos and games on their android device. With this improved graphics your android phone will render high quality display performance. So with new android version your gaming and multimedia experience will be even better.
Widget Customization: Well, This feature is already available with third party launcher application, so it is not something special. But now with default launcher adding widget and customizing them is even easy. Whenever you add multiple widgets to your screen it will automatically move or resize to make room for own. So you don’t need to worry about size and room for placing widgets on your home screen.
Fast and smooth performance: Google have claimed that the new version can give you fastest and smoothest performance on your android. Now swiping screen experience will be like fast, fluid and smooth for you in compare of any previous version. Touch response get improved too in this new version of Android.
New Camera UI: In compare of last version of Android this new version is having slightly changed Camera UI. Now you can access menu anywhere easy by touching your device screen. So accessing menu is easier now. Let me tell you there is only small change in this area, so don’t expect more on it.
So this is it for new updates and features related to Android 4.3. There are few more but I guess I have covered up almost all the important parts which can describe this new update. So now is it worthwhile to go for update or not?
Is it worthy to update your phone to new Android 4.3 version?
Honestly saying I always love to use the latest version of any software. Well, I am kind of that person but you may not. So I will say that it all depends on the user’s usage. If we see all above new updates, I can say that there will be no visual difference between this new android 4.3 version and the last available android version. Yes performance wise it can do little better in comparison to its last android version. But honestly there is nothing special about it for a normal android user. Normal users can’t even spot the difference between this and last version of android without accessing ‘About’ section. So about updating I think it all depends on type of the user. Plus as per rumors soon Google can give totally new android version Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. So why not to upgrade then on totally new android; where you may get many more changes in compare of this small update. I know there are no official words about Android 5.0, but as per news very soon we can expect something big. So about Android 4.3 there are not any big changes in compare of Android 4.2. But still if you want some improve performance on your android device then you can surely go for this new update. It is all depend on your choice and your usage.
So this is it. I guess I have explained all about new Android 4.3 version. It contains changes performance wise rather than visually changes. So you might not fee anything new in compare of last android version. But as per information and news it is surely improved one in terms of performance.
