• Improved RAM management
• Improved Display colour reproduction
• Improved TouchWiz Launcher
• New Samsung Keyboard
• New Samsung Browser
• New Reading Mode

• Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

The update is being rolled-out in phases, so not everyone will get it right away. To manually check for the update, connect your Galaxy S4 to your computer and open Kies or go to Settings > More > About Device > Software update > Update on your phone.
