Included in the update are things like enhancements to Wi-Fi connectivity, optimized battery performance and improved low light performance in the camera.

There are also a bunch of apps updated to their latest versions, including Google Chrome, Google+, GMaps, Gmail, and Street View, while the number of pre-loaded software will be increased with Quickoffice, Smart Wi-Fi, and YPmobile.
