hey guys Davey here Bombo calm and in this video we're doing a walk through our overview of Android 4.1 jelly bean avoiding tronic device because one of the first differences that you'll notice on version 4.1 is the new boot up animation so I'm gonna let you guys look at that also while this is loading up I'll let you know that I do feel like the applicable time is a little bit faster not something that's super dramatic but I have noticed that it seems that about 5 seconds faster than it was before there he goes the new boot up animation you can see it's just a little X in the middle of the screen before I take up the whole screen and now is just a little X I'm not sure if I like this one more for like the old one more but I don't really mind the difference really I'm not really booting up my phone all that much so you see you already booted up so definitely is a little bit quicker next thing you notice that's different on 4.1 is the lockscreen so as soon as I tap my finger on this you can see you actually have a new option which is Google now you could unlock like you did before and go to the camera and when I move my finger around you can see those little white dots that kind of follow my finger so looks pretty nice too I'll go to unlock this guy and we're going to show you the version number really quick so I'll go to settings and go down to about phone and you can see I am on a version 4.1 and of course if I tap this guy like four times it takes me to this thing and if I press and hold on it basically see open to jelly beans letting you know that you are running android jelly bean you can move these guys around so pretty cool I'm just gonna back out of here nothing that's nothing big next thing that you'll notice on the Galaxy Nexus is the just a general a west speed so I'll go ahead and tap the Start menu or the application drawer and you get to see it doesn't lag at all before I remember my phone would stutter a little bit and I would complain about it you know in my videos a lot but anyway seems to be a lot faster I'm just scrolling through is a lot faster and now you can see also that the widgets have a different background now before it was actually just the icon on a flat black background well now it's a little gray box surrounding it I feel like it does make it a little look a little bit cleaner there's some new widgets like the Google post via Google search you have a new messaging widget so a few new ones I haven't really downloaded any apps on this phone just yet other than Engadget Chrome and another one I forgot what it was but anyway that's that we'll go ahead and go to the wallpaper so you can see when I press and hold or long press on the home screen it's not that vertical window it's a more of a boxy one and I can choose a wallpaper so before on version 4.0 - at least the wallpapers will flag like crazy so now I'll just go ahead and add this so live wallpapers lag now you can see it's nice and smooth so definitely something that you know I like on here let's see the next thing I want to show you is Google now so I'll go ahead and lock the screen and you can see when i unlock it I could go straight up to what they call Google now basically it's a whole bunch of cards that you know it's showing you the phone or what the phone thinks that you want to see at that moment so you can see before I search for Laguna Hills weather and it shows it I haven't really used this much so it doesn't have that much information to go off of but I hit show sample cards to show you what it would look like and you'd have things like this like whether you'd have traffic information so if you're going to work every day eventually a catch your pattern and realize that you know you'd want to see what the traffic is going home so pretty cool I'm you know sports scores and things like that definitely something that you know is nice on here um I'll go ahead and hit a sample card so you can see this is for a appointment so if you have something in the calendar it'll show up if you want to look at traffic you see 18 minutes to go home just little examples here and that's what will show up once you start using this more and more so definitely a cool option also you could get straight to that from the home screen so you got the lock the screen to get so you actually tap the home button right here and swipe up and there you go so definitely cool I also want to show you the new voice search or voice action so this tap on this guy do a quick search when was Martin Luther King born you can see now so it has a little voice now which sounds pretty good compared to like s voice I feel like s boys a little bit more robotic but anyway you can see it's more Syria like in this sense because it shows a picture it shows a date within the window before we're just open up the browser and now some searches it'll still open up the browser but actually that will do weather weather in Irvine California okay never mind that want to open up in here but anyway get the idea so I get asked different questions like how tall is Michael Jordan so you can see how fast it is to UM you can ask some different questions to like for example is it gonna rain tomorrow so that's definitely really cool um definitely seems like Siri like feature so I definitely like it it's really fast too so pretty cool the next thing I want to show you is the how the widgets and the shortcuts move around so for example let's say I have this stroke I want to move it around I could actually go over here or going between my apps and it'll kind of bounce them around to get to where I want so pretty cool I know that HTC did that with their Sense UI another thing that is new is the widgets automatically resize I know that TouchWiz actually did this with their UI but I'll go ahead and up pull out a resizable widget so I'll just do uh which one should I do will do Gmail so let's go to Gmail tap it on here tap my email account really quick all right you can see like it'll actually reset I don't know if this one's actually gonna resize oh yeah it does okay let's make it bigger first so that way I could actually resize because that was the smallest was that so anyway I'll go over and I let's say I want to set it over here see how just resize like that so pretty cool makes it a lot easier to manage your homescreen so I do like that feature let's see what else there is also a predictive text on the keyboard so I'm looking at my notes right now so I'll open up the keyboard and now what I type here it'll actually try to predict the next word so I'll say this okay that didn't work I press the home button this is see how it shows me the next word I think somewhere type so I can actually type the first time I have been sent so you get the idea um the more you use the keyboard the better you'll be able to predict your common phrases so another cool thing so I'm yeah is this really something you have to use for awhile before you could really take advantage of all the features in here but I'll go ahead and go out of there another thing about the keyboard is the dictation keyboard so it actually works offline now so for example what are you doing and that this will actually work you could also pause that you see you see this little option right here on the bottom left this is actually to bring the keyboard down so cool little option to have right there wasn't there before so that's definitely new and definitely welcome to because I do like that let's see if I'm missing anything oh the notification bar so you can see the notification bar does look new you can see it shows the time a lot bigger shows the date right here these settings little button got a little bit bigger so a lot easier to tap on it now get to everything a little bit faster I want to go ahead and now show you how notifications look I'll go ahead and I'll just download some apps really quick so go to my apps download some of my recent apps because I just flashed this guy so I don't have anything on here really let's do square really quick and by the way I did review on this on phone but you guys are interested and let's do a is File Explorer because I definitely am gonna want that so anyway we went ahead and download those so you can see the notification bar looks the same as far as when it's closed but when you open it up it's gonna look a little bit different so go ahead and show you you can see now that the notifications are actually a little bit separated they also have that grey background kind of like the widgets do and to clear it out you're gonna press this button right here so instead of saying clear you just press this guy and boom it takes a Ralph's screen I'll go back to the multitasking really quick because I want to show you so for all the OS speed and you can just see dang I don't have any enough open I'm just gonna open up a whole bunch of apps really quick so calculator will open up yes file explorer and that will open up let's see will do gallery so there you go now i'll tap the motel so you can see this flies through the OS there's no lag before i noticed a lot more lag now when i want to close my apps it just does does it really really quick but anyway that's pretty much it oh you know what last thing i want to show you is the when you press the power key it looks a little bit different now you have the option to turn your phone on vibrate or silent right from here so looks a little bit different like i said gordon turn it off nothing really different about the turn off i shall not even turn off there's nothing different but anyway that's pretty much it for me i'm not that big of differences india new update it wasn't something like you know like revolutionary like Ice Cream Sandwich was but it wasn't an incremental update and definitely welcome can't wait those guy comes out on phones like the galaxy s3 do really see what I could do with that hardware but anyway sit for me in this video if you found it helpful please hit the like button and subscribe thank you
