The video below is using a high speed camera to show how the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean outperformed the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the graphic interface department. The new Jelly Bean is extremely fast and fluid, running at 60 frames per second.

Smartphones or tablets like the Galaxy S, Motorola Xoom, and the new Google Nexus 7 tablet will be able to acquire this new graphics engine in mid-July, as well as any new mobile device with buit-in Android 4.1.

Project Butter is the name given to this new graphics engine by Google because it is as slippery and fluid as hot butter. The name also suits their dessert/food names for Android.
