Both are now running Tizen 5.5 as opposed to the Tizen 4.0 when they were first released.

The new features in question are support for AR Emoji and Bitmoji, images appear on your notifications, voice guidance for cycling and running, continuous scrolling screenshots and guidance over Bluetooth-connected headphones. Of course, other stability and performance improvements are also at hand.
