It's smooth and fast as "Butter"
According to Google, Jelly Bean will provide far more responsiveness than its predecessors.
Transitions are happening very smoothly and Google had accomplished this feat from a project called "Project Butter". Google put Android under a microscope, making everything feel fast, fluid, and smooth. With buttery graphics and silky transitions, moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
More reactive and uniform touch responses mean you can almost feel the pixels beneath as your finger moves across the screen. Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
Notifications serve you as your personal assistant
Notifications are not the colored text anymore. It will guide your day and allow you to take actions within the notification panel. Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying notified and connected. Now you can take action directly from the notifications shade. Late for a meeting? Email everyone to let them know. Missed a call? Call them back in an instant. And because they’re expandable, you can get an even deeper look into the things that matter most, like multiple emails or photos on Google+.
Bye Bye "Siri", It's "Google Now"
We’ve heard rumors that Google was working on its own Siri, codenamed Project Majel, or whatever you want to call it. Google announced their own version of Apple’s Siri with jelly bean, and it brings just what you would expect. If Google Now detects that your usual route is currently bogged down by traffic, it will redirect you onto a different path which will help you arrive at your destination faster. If you have a meeting on your Calendar, Google Now will direct you to get you to your destination as soon as possible. If you have a flight at a local airport, Google Now will give you information on where your flight gate is, and your flight details.
Touch n Send with Google Beam
Android Beam was supposed to be the next big thing in near-field communication(NFC) . However, it never really took off in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). To address that in Jelly Bean, the company made it easier to share information by leveraging Bluetooth. Now, users can share images, videos and other data without worrying (too much) about how well the transfer will go.
Favourites can take more space
Android 4.1 introduces improved App Widgets that can automatically resize, based on where the user drops them on the home screen, the size to which the user expands them, and the amount of room available on the home screen. This will allow the users to resize their favoutrite apps as for their preferences.
Think before you write
Android's dictionaries are now more accurate, more relevant. The language model in Jelly Bean adapts over time, and the keyboard even guesses what the next word will be before you've started typing it.
With improved text-to-speech capabilities, voice typing on Android is even better; it works even when you don't have a data connection, so you can type with your voice everywhere you go.
Put all your eggs in one basket
This is not about eggs. It's about jellybean. Put the waste in to your recycle basket.
Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast; Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t like. Now sharing — and bragging — are a breeze.
