Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)

Ice Cream Sandwich introduced several new/updated features to Android phones, including:

• A sleeker interface that's easier to navigate
• A panorama camera mode feature, including built-in software that provides instructions to the photographer
• Built-in photo editing tools
• A reworked application for smartphone contacts
• Enhanced features for Gmail
• Visual voice mail
• A security feature that allows users to unlock their phones via facial recognition (although Android developers say this feature is still in its preliminary stages and therefore unreliable)
• Android Beam, a feature that uses near-field communications to transfer maps, contact information or apps between two Android phones in close proximity to one another.
