Just like the “Amber” update, Lumia Black brings many new features including some camera enhancements to the Nokia smartphones. Lets have a look at what’s included in this update: App Folder: Nearly every smartphone OS gives you an option to group applications or to create folders, but sadly Windows Phone didn’t has this feature. But don’t worry after upgrading to Lumia Black you can download this application and your Windows Phone experience will become more fluid. Nokia Glance screen 2.0: Many Nokia users are familiar with the glance screen which offers quick details like time and notifications and remains always visible on the screen. Good thing that it doesn’t eat much battery and saves you time. Though Lumia Amber introduced Glance to Lumia smartphones but it was limited to clock, low battery and silent icons only. With the new update now you can will get notifications about missed calls, messages, email, outlook, calendar and from any other application that has notifications enabled — all that at a glance. Bluetooth LE: Bluetooth low energy will now be enabled across the full Windows Phone 8 Lumia range for compatible gadgets like the Adidas MiCoach accessories.
