Along with UI tweaks, the new version is expected to bring Staggered HDR and Segmentation AWB feature. The Staggered HDR will reduce the picture-taking time due to small delays between frames.

Another addition to the feature brochure is the Adaptive Torch feature. It is set to improve low-light photography by automatically adjusting the intensity of the flash.
