Major new feature

Something people are calling a 'bothie' where you can have two sides of a video stream or a call, from the rear and front cameras, on the screen simultaneously. This can then be uploaded and shared directly to social media. In this age of vlogging, video journalism and live video streams, this can work as an innovative feature that many people might find useful.
