The Windows update
The Lumia Cyan update is Nokia-specific with enhancements to the camera and camera roll, the option to record in surround sound (on the Lumia 1520 and Lumia Icon), the ability to install apps on a microSD card and more.
It also features a pull-down notification bar with quick settings, word flow keyboard and an optional extra column of live tiles on your homescreen.
