I've changed the thread title to reflect the fact that this seems to be an upgrade to Economy as a Class, opposed to just the seat.
An amenity kit seems to be provided, as well as a blanket (already offered I believe).
The IFE screen has grown in size, and is fully touch-screen.
The QR App seems to appear, so I wonder if NFC technology will be available too (as per the QSuite, which AAB made mention of in his welcome speech).
Additionally, it looks like there will be a major service improvement - purely based on the video shown

I see two different (potential) headphone sockets. The two prong setup left of the screen as well as another one that looks like the usual 3.5mm variety.
Additionally the USB socket looks like a USB 3 Type A (blue plastic inside) type and not the USB-C that is mentioned on the slides.
On one of the photos it looks like there is a USB-C socket on knee level. There's no regular power socket.
