Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version officially announced with better multi-user support

Google has announced the latest version of the Android operating system dubbed as Android 4.3 Jelly Bean along with the second edition of Google Nexus 7 tablet. However, it is not offering special new game changing features because it is just a minor updated version of the Jelly Bean 4.2 version. But, the latest version now offers better multi-user support with restricted profiles. Google talk is now officially replaced by the Google hangouts in the latest version of the OS.
Notification area of the OS is also improved with the access to notification history to the users. Open GLES 3.0 support is also introduced in the new version to provide better 3D game graphics rendering. Google has also introduced GooglePlay Games app that shows you which game your friends are playing and their leaderboard achievements in the games.
Bluetooth 4.0 with low energy mode is also integrated in the OS to provide longer range for the low bandwidth accessories like fitness tracker etc. Google said that the Nexus devices are going to be the first Android based devices to get the latest OS update in the future. Then it is expected by the mobile phone manufacturers to upgrade their supporting devices with the latest version of the operating system.
Overall, the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version is not a totally revamped version of the Android OS because it is just having some minor upgraded features. However, the better multi-user support in the latest version of the OS is a great enhancement by the company that allows you to restrict app usage for a specific profile on your Android powered device.
