New Delhi: Microsoft has said that the wider roll out of Lumia Denim update for Windows Phone 8.1 across the globe will begin from January 2015. 

Denim was announced in September this year and has started to arrive in China this week. According to the company, the update will bring a faster and more intuitive Lumia Camera app, which will shorten the time needed between shots.

The new update made its way to India too, where it's hitting the Lumia 520 and Lumia 525 units. In Europe, around 30 countries already have at least one Lumia model getting the new software.

There will also be a new 'Moment Capture' feature which will allow users to simply hold down the camera button to instantly start recording 24fps 4K video, while still enabling individual frames to be saved at 8.3-megapixels.

Denim will combine apps into folders, merge messages for forwarding and replies in the messages app and improvements such as a Store Live Tile and a consumer VPN function. 

This release comes with an enhanced Ccmera app, improved glance screen, and "Hey Cortana!" voice activation.
