Jelly Bean, the latest iteration of Google’s incredibly popular mobile operating system. As always, Google have continued with their traditional confectionery-based naming convention, and Jelly Bean will replace the current ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ 4.0 build of Android as the new top dog.

Despite the small step from version 4.0 to version 4.1, Jelly Bean is still quite a major upgrade to Android, providing a host of new features, performance improvements and design polish.
First Impressions
At first glance Jelly Bean looks remarkably similar to the previous version of Android. The home screen is almost exactly the same as before, apart from a different default wallpaper and some minor cosmetic changes to the ever-present ‘Google Search’ bar. These similarities quickly disappear once you begin using the OS.
Performance

As soon as you begin navigating your way around the system you can immediately feel a marked improvement in the overall performance of Android. The animations, menu interactions, improved touch response and overall ’snappiness’ of the OS have been dramatically improved. This is all thanks to a new initiative by Google called ‘Project Butter’, which aims to optimise performance of the Android user interface, making it leaner, faster and more responsive in every way. All that hard work has definitely paid off, Jelly Bean is buttery smooth.
