They increased brightness and sharpness so the screen is more visible outdoors, and improved speaker performance, which seems like a change aimed at video content consumers. However, the fact that the 5G new frequency service is only available in limited areas will probably affect the real perceived quality, so it's necessary to definitely check SoftBank's service area map before purchasing.
