  21. Call settings is now under settings tab
  22. S4 like S-voice app
  23. Wifi data usage tracker under data usage tab under settings
  24. Transparent status bar under Touch Wiz launcher, though not available under other launchers e.g. Go launcher, nova, apex, holo, adw launchers.

Disappointment over new 4.3 update –

  1. Still old Galaxy S3 style accuweather widget
  2. Old same s3 keyboard no number row in keyboard
  3. Same old camera app except sound and shot feature (S4 camera features like drama shot and two way recording not available)
  4. Battery drain is quite high with respect to old 4.1.2 version but still good
  5. No transparent status bar for other launchers

I think these features are skipped to still promote Galaxy S4 over Galaxy S3 otherwise who will buy S4 that is having only IR blaster feature only extra.
