Now it is possible to use accounts with limited rights. The main reason: do not let children make purchases through the application.
Most remarkable gaming features of the new firmware. Android 4.3 was the first operating system to support OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics. It has an advanced game engine software. Later, Apple also improved the gaming capabilities of its mobile OS and retained its leadership among mobile gaming ecosystems.

Next version: Android 4.4 KitKat. For its release is held joint marketing company Google and Nestle.
