Today at Google’s event, VP of Android Hugo Barra introduced the new Nexus 7 as well as Android’s newest version — Android 4.3. While the new tablet will ship with Android 4.3 today, other Nexus devices will receive the 4.3 update as well, as soon as today.
Android 4.3 features new restricted profiles for kids, OpenGL|ES 3.0 for game developers, a redesigned camera interface, Bluetooth Low Energy support and general performance improvements. It’s not clear whether all of these devices will receive the update today or only one device at a time. The old Nexus 7 should get the over-the-air update today while other Nexus devices could receive the update in the coming weeks.
Recently, Google announced that it would sell the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One with a pure Android version. Google could update those devices pretty soon as well, even though the company didn’t mention those devices.
Google didn’t announce any release date of Android 4.3 for third-party device makers.
