Microsoft has started the roll-out of the Denim update to select Lumia devices in India. The Lumia Denim Update combines new enhancements from the latest Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, with exclusive experiences for Lumia smartphones.
In India, Lumia 520 and Lumia 525 started receiving the update. Apparently, the update is also rolled out in China and Europe.
The updates are hardware dependent and are only announced for the Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, Lumia 1520 and Lumia 830, such as the Lumia Camera. With this, the Nokia Camera will be replaced by Lumia Camera that is more faster and offers intuitive interface. ‘Cortana’, the voice assistant also gets an update, in the Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, and Lumia 1520 you just have to say “Hey Cortana” while the phone is idle and Cortana will activate.
