Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is still rumoured to be the next version from Google and has now leaked running on a Nexus 4.
The video footage comes from the Thailand Mobile Expo and shows the new camera interface.
The main change here is a new control layout where the camera’s keys operate on a radial dial which you can scroll through with your thumb. The idea is it facilitates one-handed use. It will also allegedly help with avoiding accidental key presses.
Shortly after the video hit YouTube a second leak emerged via a Bluetooth standards certification. The fact that the device has gone in for re-certification hints that Android 4.3 might now be compatible with the older Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
One of the more consistent rumours about Android 4.3 relates to its support for low-energy Bluetooth (BLE). The certification shows Bluetooth SIG gave the Galaxy Nexus a pass on some new software update which may be the Android 4.3 build.
A third snippet of information came in the form of a post on LG’s official website, where it listed the LG Optimus L7 2 Dual (a dual-SIM device aimed at the Asian market) as having Android 4.3 pre-installed. Previous reports have indicated that specific model would have Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Finally, another Bluetooth certification has shown up in the form of an unknown 7-inch Asus tablet, dubbed only by a codename of ‘K008’ and pegged as running ‘JWR11’ a name previously associated with Android 4.3.
Rumours suggest Android 4.3 will be announced by August at the latest but could emerge in June or July. We’ll keep you posted with more info as it emerges.
