Voice search (search with voice), the thing
new have used with temperamental result in 4.1, has been saved for a group of
innovated query. Now you can schedule meetings, check for the next appointment and
launch the apps (“open the app [app name]”) will work). Google also says that when
you make questions that may not have clear answers the service will carry out a
comprehensive search for your query, see what the general consensus and give
you the answer based on what it can find. Besides, we realize that it can offer
more info than it did before. For example, we ask about the year when the “back
to future” was released, and are given with the specific release date as well
as a card with the info about the film. Indeed, Google has spent a lot of
efforts to make voice search experience become more natural interaction,
instead of letting it have the same feeling as a machine reading the search
result. Jelly Bean users don’t need to update Android 4.2 to enjoy many similar
things – most of these new features in Now is currently available for Android
4.1 users, thanks to a update for Google Search app in Play Store.

Google also counts on the “Gesture Typing” feature
for the existing keyboard that make it easier to use and more attractive. As an
imitation of Swype, 4.2 currently allows you to swipe from icons to icons, instead
of using the traditional typing method. It’s also unbelievably accurate,
because the keyboard hardly has difficult understanding what we’re trying to
type. It can even predict the word that you’re trying to type through swipe
gesture. When you start writing, a box will pop up next to your finger with a
predicted word. If you lift your hand off the screen, the predicted word will
appears into place and you can continue with the rest of the message. The
experience is now much more visual and easier to use. Gmail also receives a
small improvement, currently having the pinch-to-zoom ability and auto-format so
that the whole message can fit the screen. You can also swipe left or right on
the message in inbox to quickly save it. Next, you can zoom anything on the
screen by hitting it 3 times. From that you can pan around by using 2 fingers
or even pinch-to-zoom to adjust the magnification rate on the screen.

Daydream feature is also a new experience
to the incident Android. This is the thing that is equivalent to screen saver of
smartphone. It presents the content on the screen when the phone is docked or
charged. You can see an image collection when they float around, check the
newest feed through Currents or even kill time by pressing abound the jelly
bean. It adds just a few in terms of function, but it’s a smart trick if you
don’t use the phone and want something to watch while it is sitting on the
coffee table.

We have mentioned shortly that Miracast is
now supported naturally in Android 4.2, which means at that time, you can
transfer wirelessly films and music from the phone to TV or Miracast-supported
devices. This is a hard part: if the TV or screen is not certified for that
standard, you will need a Miracast adapter, which is not cheap – a fast search
on Amazon feedback a result that has the price of 70 USD. However, if you can
find one or already have the equipment that is capable of using it, at least
you will have one more sure reason to choose Nexus 4.
