Nokia Lumia Black update starts rolling out; here's whats new


Nokia has announced that they have starting rolling out the Lumia Black software update. The Nokia Lumia 1020 and Nokia Lumia 925 will be the first Windows Phone 8 models to receive the update with the rest of the Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 lineup to receive it in the weeks ahead.

Nokia Lumia smartphones check for a new update automatically each week, so you will be notified when Lumia Black arrives. You can manually try to pull it out of your phone by going to Settings > Phone update.

The Lumia Black updates comes alongside Windows Phone Update 3 (GDR3) which brings several improvements from Microsoft for Windows Phones, but lets take a look at some of the unique features coming to Nokia Lumia devices.





App Folder


With the Nokia Black update, Nokia is introducing folders to Windows Phones. Folders basically allows you to group specific apps into a single tile, which can then be pinned to your Start Screen. Granted its not the most efficient.
