After the arrival of the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK in the hands of developers, we have learned many details and new features that the next version of Microsoft's mobile operating system will bring with it. We already knew the most interesting ones such as individual volume adjustment, wallpaper change or Wi-Fi direct.
