Please tell me what is the major difference between Windows Phone 8 and Amber, because I want to update my device.
Amber is an update exclusive to Nokia devices.
- Improved image processing
- FM radio support
- Glance screen feature
- Flip to silence, double tap to wake
- Improved storage check, faster HERE map updates

1That's correct. You might however (depending on your phone carrier) get the general GDR2 update. For a list of improvements check here: winsupersite.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-8-gdr2 – akid Sep 22 '13 at 7:02

1Actually the correct is to say that every Windows Phone 8 can receive GDR2. Then the OEM personalize it like they want. Nokia called this AMBER. HTC version of GDR2 is enabling radio too but they didn't give a different name. – Vitor Canova Sep 22 '13 at 23:14
In addition to Akid's answer, the Amber update allows an instant boot up of the device once plugged in to a charger if the battery is totally drained, unlike before when you had to wait up to 10 minutes before it turns on. IMHO this is a very important improvement.
