1. A new feature called Photo Sphere stitches together 360-degree pictures of rooms and landscapes. The high-resolution photos created with this tool are similar to the shots shown in Google's Street View feature in its online maps.

2. The Android update includes a feature called Gesture Typing, which tries to anticipate what words a user wants to enter as they are entering text. The guesses are based on an analysis of typical sentence structures and users' past entries.

3. Android 4.2 also adds support for wireless display so you can wirelessly watch movies, YouTube videos and play games right on your Miracast-compatible HDTV. Connecting a wireless display adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV or monitor allows what's on the small screen to be mirrored on the bigger one.

With the latest version, you can see popular photo spots nearby, track packages easily, get information about upcoming movies, and much more.
