However, according to our colleagues for Android Police, log files of Internet traffic on their site have uncovered devices running Android 4.2. There would be a total of four different devices that run smoothly within this release mysterious.
It would be a Samsung Galaxy Nexus , the latest smartphone Nexus date, a Nexus 7 tablet from Asus, a terminal codenamed "occam" and another device identified as "manta".
The four devices were running Android 4.2 builds beginning with the letter "J". This indication is a priori rather inconsistent with a major update since the "J" would imply that it is a version of Jelly Bean (a new version called "Ham Butter" seems unlikely to say the least, but "Jaffa Cakes" could be a good candidate!). Indeed, for each major iteration of its mobile OS, Google runs the alphabet "F" Froyo, "G" Gingerbread, "H" Honeycomb, "I" for Ice Cream Sandwich and "J" Jelly Bean .
In addition, the terminal "occam" would be a smartphone since its user-agent (text sent to the server to identify the user agent) contained the word "mobile". We can think about the future Nexus LG Optimus based on G (read our article ). It could also be a smartphone Motorola Razr range ("Razor" means "razor" in English). "Occam" would thus refer to Occam's razor (or Okham) which is a principle of philosophical reasoning.
As for the "manta", it could be a new tablet Motorola stamped. Indeed, the Motorola Xoom tablet had two different code names (depending whether 3G/4G LTE or WiFi) "Stingray" and "Wingray." "Manta" come to "Manta Ray" ("manta" in English), while "Stingray" was referring to the sting of the line and "Wingray" his wing. A little far-fetched, admittedly, but we also know that manufacturers like to play with the code names of their products.
The hypothesis of a fake is not excluded, but since Android Police spotted many devices with this version 4.2, it seems unlikely.
