Google recently release Android Jelly bean, the best update Android ever had. In previous cases most of the user had to wait weeks and months to get OTA. Developers had to wait even more to get the official release of source code.
This time they made an improvement and release OTA in very short time. Not only that they resale official source code and binary within matter of days. They could solve this problem because they had Nexus Branded series of Handsets and Tablets. Nexus 7 originally came with Jelly bean and Galaxy Nexus also got OTA update within few days except few carrier specific versions.
If you are using previous Nexus S, you might say I also have a Nexus, where is my Jelly Bean OTA update? Yes, the whole point of getting a Nexus Branded handset is avoiding Android fragmentation. And you will never have to regret, Google started rolling Jelly bean OTA update for Nexus S as well. This must be great news for Nexus S users.
Will Jelly Bean Work Well on Nexus S?
The entire devices got Jelly bean is having at least Dual Core Processor and 1 GB RAM. In Nexus 7 tablet, it’s having Quad core processor. With all those facts you must be having a doubt whether Jelly Bean will work well in Single Core 1 GHz processor and 512 BM RAM in Nexus S.
When Android ICS came out for Nexus S, It worked pretty well on that same as originally ICS powered devices such as Galaxy Nexus. If you dig deep in to technical details, its having dedicated GPU, hence it could support all the new technologies that come with Android Jelly Bean such as Triple Buffering. I don’t see any reason to Jelly Bean to give trouble in Nexus S.
However, you can’t expect the fluidity of Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7 in Nexus S due to its lower hardware configuration. Still you will be able to experience better performance as well as new features.
If you are a Nexus S user, and update your device to new Android Jelly Bean, share you new experience with NOG community.
