If you look closely at the GDR3 screenshot, you will discover that the screenshots display a multi-tasking window capability and screen orientation lock.
As far as the multi-tasking is concerned, users will be easily be able to, with this update, close apps by clicking on the ‘X’ above them. Other features in this update include, custom sounds for text, emails and reminders, restoring your phone over Wi-Fi and enhanced. Bluetooth capabilities.
