User Interface:  This was the whole new face to the Smartphone world with the new  "Roboto" it made complete the device. The UI was looking similar to the Honeycomb tablets the blue color theme which was set on the device looks so cool while compared to the other platforms. Android was the only platform which updated their new looks without getting us bored on seeing the same old look on our smart phones.

Notification Area:  They keep on updating the notification area from the starting which was improved very well. From this notification we can actually control the Music app without going to the application.Cool isn't? Now the notification area will been shown with the small pic what the notification was about. For example.. if we got a missed call it will show a missed call pic and also the picture of the contact person. Really Cool feature is being updated and lot more improvements are done in the notification area.

Multitasking:  The whole new type of multitasking been introduced to the Smartphone with the Android Ice Cream sandwich. This multitasking is seen on the honeycomb tablet. As the Android Ice Cream Sandwich is the combination of both Honeycomb and gingerbread we can except this feature on this. This was whole new multitasking feature

Face Unlock: This was the first device which had made the Face recognition unlock possible. Anytime Android would try to do the things in innovative way they stepped ahead an introduced the facaial recognition to unlock the phone. And they also guranteed us the device would not unlock with the persons picture or wallpaper.So many people where afraid of this type if anybody would bypass their lock.

Phone Unlocking: Unlocking the device had improved in this version. This type of unlocking had been seen on the HTC and Samsung device with their Sense and the touchwiz. Now this unlocking had made built in on this ICS. We can actually open the camera app without unlocking the device.

Contacts : The whole new interface will be seen on the contacts with the big picture of the contact person and now the contacts are called as Just People. we can now integrate with new list of google+ and the Gtalk status messages. Contacts look and feel was so good.




Messaging: From the messaging point of view nothing is being changed major change in this was the improved spell checking and improved voice input. Tired on typing on the keyboard and switch on too the voice input which was improved a lot it keeps on recording the speech to text.

WebBrowser: This was improved a lot when compared to the previous versions of the stock browser. Now we can save the webpages from it. and also improved multi tasking to the new windows. And another major update was we can open the web browser in the Incognito mode so many people was not interested to see other people what they have opened through. where no history was saved on the application. And the browser was so fast when compared to the previous version.

Camera: we can actually open the camera app without unlocking the device which was probably seen on the other devices too.But in this camera app we can actually see pretty new features like continous autofocus while video recording and also can detect the face detection and which can shoot in panaroma mode. and also snapshot while recording in time lapse video shooting. 

By this features we can actually thing google are not backing down they are keep on making smiles forever.From this updates we can actually think they are some more features which are not introduced now they will keep on updating the whole new features with whole new interface.
