The Build brings some familiar features as well as new ones which includes – redesigned quick action center, interactive notifications, speech-to-text ability and more powerful photo apps. On this build, Cortana is limited to the US only and supports English language alone but the final version would see a much improved cortana.
Users should note that the Technical preview contains bugs (lots of them) and is far from the Preview for Developer program which is like the final build. Microsoft is sharing the build very early to enable users help shape the final Windows 10 for phone release.
