what is going on guys Jonathan here with TLD over the past couple of days I got a chance to spend a lot of time with both Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10 which both ship with Android 4.2 jelly bean so I want to give you guys a tour of the OS and show you exactly what is new we're going to start out with lock screen widgets obviously once you are on your lock screen you can either swipe left or right to access them if you want to add a new one just simply tap the plus button and then you can choose from a handful of different widgets to add to your lock screen from what I can tell you're not limited to just either one left or right you can keep adding them so let's go to unlock the phone and see what else is new now that we're in the phone we can check out quick settings so what you do is you swipe down like you normally would for notifications tap that button and boom you got access to things like brightness settings battery Wi-Fi airplane mode and bluetooth which I found extremely convenient the next thing I want to show you guys is multi-user support so unlike the iPad you can actually add multiple users so here's a quick look at it it's really simple to add a user once you're on the lock screen you just tap in between profiles you can unlock that and bam you are in the new setting now as of now this is tablet only but I don't really see a need or want to have something like this on a phone maybe unless you got split personalities but nonetheless this is definitely a very useful feature next we can go and take a look at daydream which is a fancy word for a screensaver they have a few different options you can choose from clock colors which is self-explanatory you then have currents which essentially is kind of like Flipboard but in screensaver mode now I don't have any photos on here yet but you can also choose from a photo frame or a photo table and this will engage either when it's docked or charging I'm going to go to jump back to the Nexus 4 for this one and this is probably one of my favorite updates about 4.2 and that is pinch to zoom on gmail is freaking awesome one of my biggest complaints with Android email is the fact that it never properly rendered it or scaled it so this is what it looks like before do note though that by default it is actually set to look like this they actually have to go into the settings select this and boom it is a million times better look how smooth it is I cannot tell you how much I love this feature next we're going to go to jump back to the Nexus 10 to show off gesture typing which isn't new or innovative what you do is you swipe from letter to letter to spell out words it's not innovative but it definitely works well and it's nice that it is included for free on android 4.2 there are also improvements to Google now which even before Android 4.2 was awesome I'll even go as far as saying I prefer it over Siri now you can do things like check out movie times or even track a package which to me is fantastic lastly we're going to talk about the camera software improvements which is packed full of awesomeness it is really easy and intuitive to access settings all you got to do is tap and hold then you can swipe to access things like white balance exposure flash or even built in HDR what you guys can see an example of right here it's not amazing but it definitely works well android 4.2 also went a little hipster on us with built-in instagram like filters as you guys can check out right here obviously we're going to see panorama but Google is one upping that with photo sphere which is essentially panorama on steroids so how it works is you essentially take pictures in a 360-degree environment and then stitches everything together and kind of gives you like a google map experience on your picture which is definitely one of the coolest features on Android 4.2 so thank you guys for watching this video I'm sure there's a few I missed out on let me know what your favorite new improvement is with a comment down below if you guys did enjoy this video make sure to hit that like button I am also hard at work on the reviews for both the devices so if you have not subscribed make sure you do so so you don't miss out on any of that coverage thank you guys again for watching and I will see you guys later
