Android 4.1 vs Android 4.2 — The Jelly Bean Brothers

Almost every online citizen abreast with the latest in the mobile technology scene knows that the flavor of Android known as Jelly Bean is the latest and the smoothest to date. But, which Jelly Bean?

Two varieties exist for this sweet treat: Android 4.1 (which debuted with the Google Nexus 7) and Android 4.2 (which came out with the Google Nexus 4 and the Google Nexus 10).

Should you be gravely concerned that the phone that you’re longing to buy runs only Android 4.1? Or, should you just go ahead and buy an Android 4.2 device such as the Nexus 4 or Nexus 10? Which mobile OS version is better? Is it even worth your envy to look at another’s Android 4.2 device?

To help you take such decision-making burden off your shoulder, we compared pure Google Android 4.1 Jelly Bean against pure Google Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on four Nexus devices:

Galaxy Nexus (running Android 4.1.2 build JZO54K),
Nexus 4 (running Android 4.2.1 build JOP40D),
Nexus 7 (running Android 4.1.2 build JZO54K), and
Nexus 10 (running Android 4.2.1 build JOP40D).
In this comparison, find out how the two Android versions differ, and whether they differ greatly and significantly.  You may also skip ahead to the end of this post to watch our comparison video.
