This update is very critical. Microsoft revealed to the Verge a series of new features of Windows Phone 8.1, including information Center, Cortana, quick setup, voice control, and more. These are the features that Windows Phone really needs.

One of the most important features is the information Tip center, which has been a feature that Windows Phone users are looking forward to. The Verge says it's like Android and iOS, sliding down from the top of the screen to eject. A quick down slide will have a quick setup option, and if the slide time is lengthened, the screen will display a complete informational interface. This would be a feature that is currently implemented in the beta version of Windows Phone8.1.

Cortana is another important feature, Verge said, which will replace Bing search applications in the current mobile phone. Cortana can interact with the user through voice and text, just like Google Now and Siri. One place similar to Google Now is the meeting tip and the distance estimate. Speaking of search capabilities, the Bing Smart search for Windows 8.1 will be added to the phone.

The last feature that cannot be overlooked is independent voice control. This is a feature that is already available in other operating systems, allowing you to control media voices, phone rings, alarm bells, and so on. This way, you won't be able to make a big noise when you look at the video because you're ringing the phone.

Soon, Nokia will have two mobile phones with Windows Phone8.1 platform to launch. Previously leaked gold Fingers (Goldfinger) will support 3D non touch gesture instructions and Moneypenny will have screen virtual keys. The two handsets are expected to be released in April 2014.
