There is no confirmation that Android 4.2 will continue to maintain the Jelly Bean moniker, but it is more or less certain that this will be a minor update to the mobile operating system from Google. Apparently, benchmark results for a couple of upcoming Motorola devices known as the “Occam” and “Manta” have appeared, where it pointed to both phone and tablet being powered by the Android 4.2 operating system version right out of the box without having to wait for an update rollout. This will definitely lead to further speculation that the Occam and Manta might be part of the upcoming Nexus phone and tablet range which will see different hardware manufacturers carry the Nexus name.
The Occam in all probability comes with a quad-core chipset, while the Manta does seem to drop hints of it being a tablet device with a 1.7GHz processor packed underneath the hood. Why do we think it is a tablet? It has a codename that is not too different from the others used for the Xoom tablet (aka Stingray, Wingray). Image above courtesy of PhoneArena.
