As the Hangouts application is also getting SMS integration, you will no longer need to use different apps to communicate with the same contacts. Your texts and chats, both will be visible in the same Hangouts conversation (if you want to).
Among other changes, video calls are also getting some improvements and full-screen video chats will now be offered on all devices that support Hangouts. In addition, Hangouts chats will now be in HD by default.
