Already beginning to have indications about what we will see in Android 4.2 "" whose surname ranges between Key Lime Pie and Kandy Kane. According to the Android Police, there is already an Alpha version in the hands of the developers, an edition that is also working in one of the candidates to be one of the possible Nexus mobiles "" in particular, the model that has been attributed to the South Korean LG. In this device the Quick Settings function has been noticed, an evolution assigned to the notification bar that, apparently, would give access to new features.
Quick Settings, which in theory would not yet be fully developed, would be activated by duplicating the command with which we currently display the notification curtain. That is, after sliding the aforementioned bar down, we would have to repeat the gesture, so that we would open a new descending window. Other configuration criteria would be included in it, although at the moment it is not clear which ones would be integrated here. In any case, the solution that Google would propose with this new quick configuration function is strange.
And it is that the deployment of two curtains from the upper margin of the screen could be, in principle, a somewhat confusing way of accessing data and settings. Suppose, for example, that once the second bar is extended, new notifications are received. In this case, one might wonder if the traditional section could be displayed again as usual or if the quick configuration menu would have some kind of command to go back. In this sense, the video that they filter from the aforementioned website does not offer too many answers, so you will have to be patient until more data is available.
Last June Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was unveiled for tablets and smartphones , although the dissemination of this version of the system is not being particularly agile on compatible computers. The Samsung Galaxy S3, for example, have not yet received the update in its entirety, and only the Nexus series equipment, as well as the Motorola Xoom, have been able to update in all its versions.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the only device that has gone on sale with this edition in native mode, something that we would also see in the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, which is expected to launch in November. During the present second half of October, the availability of Jelly Bean on the HTC One X should also be notified.
The fact is that the penetration of Android 4.1 is still too anecdotal in the park of compatible equipment, and yet there are already signs of the imminent arrival of Android 4.2. Specifically, it is said that coinciding with the anniversary of the presentation of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, those of Mountain View could reveal news in both families. And not only that: the possibility that for the first time several models manufactured by different companies will be discovered ”” LG, Samsung, HTC or Sony ”” also casts its shadow on the future of the Nexus range.
