what's up guys they be here from buff calm and in this video we're doing a review on Android 4.2 jelly bean on the Nexus 4 over here so basically I'm just gonna be taking a look at what's new with 4.2 so first thing we'll start off with is the lockscreen which now has widgets on it so for example if I wanted my camera app I would just swipe over to the right like that and boom my camera launches now that might not really excite you all that much considering that before you have the option to unlock to the left that basically opened the camera anyways so what will expect you though is the fact that I have my messaging widget right over here I have my song identifier widget and I have my calendar widget and if I wanted to add more widgets I just swipe over to the left one more time hit this plus sign you can see the widgets I could actually choose from and I only imagine this will grow over time so I'll go ahead and exit out of here next thing you'll notice right away is the time which are the clock widget should I say so this is actually new and it comes pre-installed it's not third-party one so you can see that UI actually looks different for the alarm app or the clock app and not only that you have the world clock capability now which is pretty cool and for the first time now we have built-in timers and stop watches which before you always have to get from a third party so pretty cool to see that Google incorporated that and I imagine that will incorporate with Google now in the future so we'll go ahead and take a look at the next feature which is gonna be the keyboard so we'll tap on this note right here so for example if I wanted to type you know I have the same great keyboard from Android 4.1 I mean it has a text prediction offline dictation all that good stuff but now you have gesture sliding or gesture typing so basically it kind of works like swipe so for example if I want to write the quick brown fox so it worked like that now notice that when I actually go over the words it actually gives me a preview of what it thinks I'm gonna type so right now is BRR go over to here and think this bro go here and brow and then finally Brown so what I found is it's actually more accurate for me at least because it gives me the previews because it gives me a better idea as far as what I'm actually doing so that's a pretty cool feature right here another thing is what it came built-in I'm not sure is something you could download right now but I can't built-in with a emoji keyboard which is called iw and an emoji IME so I go to choose input method C emoji input right here and basically I have a whole bunch of emojis that could actually choose from I could press this down and go faces and Smiley's artifacts activities etc so that's a pretty cool little feature as well we'll go ahead and back out of here and look at the notification shade so what's different with the notification shade now is that you have quick settings instead of just a shortcut to the settings so when you type this guy gonna give you most commonly used shortcuts right over here so I have my brightness I've you know my carrier my battery airplane mode Bluetooth Wi-Fi etc and what I've noticed actually changes at least this little bottom-right icon for example right now have an alarm set it shows up when if I if I were to turn off that alarm this would actually disappear so that's a pretty cool little feature while we're here Maz will go into the settings and take a look at the easter egg so Android 4.2 jelly bean so yeah I mean we'll go ahead and press this - I know some of you guys want to see that so we'll go ahead and back out of here and go on to the next feature which is actually why I want to show you the the new animations when I multitask so for example when I press this button over here it kind of like jumps down into the most testing window which is pretty cool and also since I opened in chrome and might as well mention that it's actually now default you know before on 4.1 they had another browser and chrome was basically a third-party our not there but you'd have to download it from the Play Store now it doesn't come with any browser but Chrome so actually you know comes pre-installed which is pretty cool next feature is the daydream or the screensaver so basically I'll go to display and show you that really quick so see if they call it daydream basically it's kind of like a screensaver so when you dock your phone or when you plug it in you could actually set it to have this if you want you get out of your clock beeping your colors currents photo frame photo table whatever I actually like the bean flinger which basically when you plug it in this is what shows up pretty cool little touch I mean not necessarily something's gonna change to your experience but just a nice touch we'll go ahead and back out of here while we're here will show you that it does have wireless display options now so basically it's using a technology called miracast and it's made by the are supported by the Wi-Fi Alliance not a lot of devices out there have it basically what it does when you turn it on it'll allow you to mirror what's on your phone on to like a big screen or a blu-ray player or whatever it is and it's kind of like Apple's AirPlay but like I said it's a technology that's pretty new right now so it might grow in the future and if it does that'd be great go on to the next one which is gonna be the security features we're actually now when you download an app it'll verify the app so we'll go to security and you can see says verify apps so you could check it our uncheck it and basically it'll warn you before installing an app that may cause harm to your phone which is definitely a plus definitely gotta like that go on to the next one which is gonna be the where is it Oh magnifique magnification options so if I go to accessibility there it is having trouble finding it you can actually turn on the magnification gestures which basically allows you if you're to triple tap on something like that it'll zoom in so that's pretty cool to do also if you triple tap and hold it'll zoom in temporarily and then you let go it'll zoom out so it's cool but I'm mostly if I left it on it kind of makes it lag a little as far as you know your button presses which I don't like I mean obviously if you need the zooming ability it's worth it but for me I turn it off so we'll go ahead and turn off right now because I don't want it to make me lag when I press button so anyway that is that what else is new is Google now so basically what Google now does now is it will check your emails for flight information for shipment tracking for hotel reservations and basically it'll populate in your cards you know in addition to all the great things that it does already so that's a cool little feature and what else am I missing one of the more major new features is the camera app on Android 4.2 so not only does it actually look different actually works a little differently too so for example if I wanted to get to my camera settings instead of having to reach over you know to the edges of the screen which is kind of hard to do with these bigger screens I could just tap anywhere in the screen and hold and basically I have all my office of example my are my exposure right here facing camera right here worth mentioning - is now the camera app actually has HDR built-in I know that you know that's been available for a long time on third-party you eyes but hasn't been so on stock Android now it is if I want to change my flash settings are here want to go to my settings can do it right there so pretty cool while we're here might as well look at the next new feature which is the photosphere mode so if I tap this camera but I could do no regular shot video panorama or photosphere now when you tap on photosphere basically what you can do is make like a Google Streetview 360 picture so it's not just like panoramas it's more than that so for example you can see it's almost like on a little virtual reality type screen right now and moving around now it's kind of hard to do because I don't really have a lot of space to work with but we'll go ahead and take a look at one I did on a soccer field so we'll go ahead and tap on this really quick and you can see I did a 360 view of the soccer field that night you can see it's not necessarily completely 100% accurate I mean it did kind of miss on these lines a little bit maybe I was moving around too much with the camera I try to stay still though but nonetheless I mean this is awesome it took me a while to do this I mean it takes a bunch of pictures to do this but a full 360 look at you know where you are so I can imagine this could be really useful I mean not only is it cool but I'm sure a lot of people and a lot of business professionals could use this one example could be like a real estate professional you want to you know take a picture of a house well no better way to do it than this so that's pretty cool well go ahead and back out here and also show you another thing within the camera or more specifically the camera you know or the gallery is the photo editing options so now it's kind of more like Instagram and you have a whole bunch of different filters you can apply so I'm sure a lot of the instagramers out there gonna love that you can add borders and whatnot to your pictures so that's pretty cool and then you still have the same option as far as what you had with ICS and 4.1 which is you know ability to crop straight in do a mirror so basically you can flip it over like that and change the exposure settings all that good stuff so that's another cool option with Android 4.2 and definitely you know a welcomed new addition to and already you know future packed OS another thing I noticed when playing around with the settings was the cell broadcast so if we go under more I have a new option for cell broadcasts basically it'll alert you for emergencies so you can actually check them or uncheck if you want like Amber Alerts severe threats extreme threats etc so pretty cool to have that oh via app drawer now shows more icons so if you were to take a look at the Galaxy Nexus running for point one you can see now we have more content displayed which is awesome and you have high resolution displays you have big displays might as well show more icons at once so it you know basically reduces the amount of scrolling you have to do from page to page so that's definitely a nice touch but that's pretty much it I'm hopefully I don't miss anything I'm sure I am if you guys have any questions on it just leave a comment down below overall I have to say I definitely liked the update you know it's definitely one that's welcomed it's not necessarily you know a huge update it's just I mean that's why they kept the name jelly bean it's just incremental one but definitely one that is much appreciated and yep that's pretty much it for me in this video you guys found it helpful if you liked it please hit the thumbs up button and if you haven't already subscribe to their channel because I'm doing a whole bunch more coverage on not only the Nexus 4 but Android 4.2 jelly bean -
