Earlier this week, Google announced Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and as developers have spent time with it, they have come across hidden features that might be a sign of what could arrive in future iterations of the OS. The folks at AndroidPolice report about two such features, one which lets users control app permissions and the other is 4K video support.
The first feature is called ‘App Ops’, which essentially will allow users to control what settings or information a particular app will have access to. It sounds similar to the granular app controls available on iOS for some time, but the report says that Google’s version of permissions manager is far better.

Additionally,
the report also talks about a couple of lines of codes that indicate
possible support for XXXHDPI (640ppi) settings and assets in the near
future. Now it is unlikely that tablets or smartphones which look good
enough on 480ppi displays will get require XXXHDPI support. But it is
good to see Google readying itself for next-generation HD displays.
