I don't want Android 4.3

Last year, Google announced the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update with LG Nexus 4. This Year, the company announced Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with the new Nexus 7. Android 4.4 KitKat is on the way, we want to analysis why we are not waiting for Android 4.2 or 4.3?

Android 4.2 was major update over 4.1 in terms of extra features, updated lock screen and tons of extra goodies including long awaited toggles, however on the other hand 4.3 sounds to be bit low in terms of features and goodies , however it was majorly on Future promised update.

I've noticed that the Jellybean updates are getting smaller and smaller in terms of usability and feature wise. Android 4.1 was huge update over 4.0 with Project Butter, Google Now, expandable notifications, etc. 4.2 was a good update, with Butter improvements, Quick settings, and lock screen widgets. 4.3 is mostly an under the hood update. It kept the look and feel of Android 4.2, while adding some improvements including OpenGL 3.0 support, tweak on dial pad, and Bluetooth Low Energy and some more. I think Google is looking to polish JB and fix it up before major release.

Android 4.2 and 4.3 are not major update like 4.1/4.0 but surely designed for Nexus devices, As OEMs like HTC, Samsung, and LG with their skin on top have already provided similar features with old version of Android.

Are you still waiting for 4.3 if you are on 4.2 or will you jump directly to 4.4? Leave your comment under comment section
