Photo sphere
Gone are the days when a phone was meant only for calling people, now it can be anything and everything from a personal diary to a movie camera, from a recipe provider to a guide map etc. Out of the myriad uses we can get from these gadgets, the option of using it as a camera seems the most popular. Jellybean steps this application up to a whole new point with ‘Photo Sphere.’ With the help of this app the users can take 360 degrees panoramic pictures. You can take pictures while turning around and the plentiful overlapping available allows you to be less than absolutely precise, each time you turn. Further, it frees all limits imposed upon your viewpoint by enabling you to include in views from both above and below of your viewing area. You can click the most spectacular pictures of both your personal cherished moments as well as the scenic beauty around you, and all of this without having to splurge on a highly expensive camera.
Tablet users
A new app in 4.2 allows several users to share one single tablet among them. This process becomes highly smooth and easy, as the new feature enables a tablet to hold accounts for as many as 8 different users. You can find this option under ‘Settings’ as ‘Users and Other Users’. Each individual can set up her/his own customized account and have a personalized experience while using the product.
New Gesture modes
A new app called gesture typing can also be found, here instead of physically typing on the keys, you can simply swipe your fingers across the keyboard; your movements will be recognized and translated into the correct words. For the visually impaired users Braille support has been improved further a new mode of gesture coupled with speech has been incorporated.
These new improvements along with a number of other features like new screen widgets etc, makes Android 4.2 Jellybean one of the best smartphones around. For further news on its features and use you can browse through a number of independent reviews present online.
