– Selection of default messaging app between Messages and Hangouts
– Easier selection of home launcer (Either TouchWiz Basic or Easy home and 3rd party laucher)
– Integrated and more detailed location services.

Also, along with the phone update, you need to update your Gear Manager app (Galaxy Gear app) to version 1.6 for optimization and use of the new Email application on Galaxy Gear.

The update should be coming here in the Philippines within weeks or next month.
