  • Quicker page loading and panning in the Web browser

  • Improved responsiveness after unlocking the phone

  • Faster launching, switching, and exiting of applications

  • Smoother transitions when switching between home screen panels

  • Faster rendering of thumbnails in the photo gallery

  • Improved audio quality
