Into Google continues to maintain silence on the next evolution of its mobile operating system, but what users expect now seems pretty clear: short the release of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean , in all probability accompanied by not major changes in interface and functionality, by the end of the transition to the major release of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie that will respond to the changes introduced by Apple with its iOS 7 just announced.

Into hypothesis seems to be confirmed also by the umpteenth indiscretion on the 4.3 update, in particular with the build JWR66D sighted on your smartphone Nexus 4 and JWR53F on the tablet Nexus 7. The “J” initial mean that it is Jelly Bean, the “R” placed as the third letter indicates the compilation of the code in the second quarter of the year, the figures correspond to the day of Q2, 2013, respectively 66 and 53, and final letter should be read as the build number of the same day (“D” for the fourth and “F” for the sixth). Impossible at present to determine what is referred to the “W” is present in both cases, while making a quick calculation shows that the two versions date from the period between the end of May and beginning of June.

If you add to that today’s rumor appeared on the Web in recent weeks, the picture is complete. Rather more difficult to accurately forecast of what will be the novel features introduced by Android 4.3 JB . We talked about the possible compatibility with the technology Bluetooth Low Energy (or Bluetooth Smart) can significantly reduce the energy consumption during the use of the BT module, as well as the OpenGL library support ES 3.0 to be exploited for graphics rendering. In any case, the update will reach almost certainly at first devices on the line Nexus , as well as on smartphones Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition One and HTC Google Edition, that the group of Mountain View announced recently with the aim of limiting the phenomenon related to the excessive fragmentation of the platform.
