3. File Manager (new):

File Manager is a completely new app and features a full fledged file manager where you can access all the folders in phone and SD card. More details here.

4. Photos:

The photos app has a new interface with collections, albums and folder view which can be accessed from the side menu.

5. Camera:

The default camera app has been changed and the interface is exactly similar to Lumia camera app although you can run both apps simultaneously. This might change in the final build.

If you see the new UI of core apps, you can see lot of inconsistencies like the on/off button in the settings of photos app. It is different from the standard slider buttons of Windows Phone 8.1. But at the same time it is not implemented throughout the system. We are expecting more updates in the coming week and will have better features and interface.
