In Pictures: Android 4.2 - A visual guide to what's new

Google's Android 4.2 release brings bold new flavors to the Jelly Bean platform. Here's a look at the new and noteworthy features it'll bring to your device.

Daydream screensavers

Screensavers hardly seem like an exciting addition, but for anyone who docks his phone or leaves it plugged in and charging during the day, Android 4.2's new Daydream feature may be just what the doctor ordered.

Daydream lets you say "so long" to the boring blank screen and instead pick from a variety of screensavers to gaze upon while your phone is docked, charging, or both. Built-in options include a floating clock, flowing colors, rotating news headlines and a couple of different photo-based screensavers.

Third-party developers will be able to offer their own Daydream designs, too, so we'll likely see more options soon.
