Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Restricted Profiles are similar to Kids Corner on Windows Phone. The feature of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Restricted Profiles lets you manage the apps and content which is accessible on a certain user account.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Restricted Profiles enable parental controls, so certain family members are prevented from accessing mature content.

As expected, version 4.3 brings low-energy Blutooth which has been dubbed Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Bluetooth Smart. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Bluetooth Smart support minimises the amount of power used when connecting Bluetooth accessories and also measures the data being transmitted.

4.3 Jelly Bean adds support for OpenGL ES 3.0, the latest standard for accelerated 3D graphics. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OpenGL ES 3.0 brings photorealism to a whole new level in the games you're playing: blades of grass on the soccer field come alive, asphalt on the street looks real as you screech by, stubble on a villains' face almost pokes out of the screen.

If you start typing numbers, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Dial pad autocomplete will suggest contacts or numbers to call.
