Import Intentions :-

Recognize common classes in Jetpack & Firebase libraries & suggest, via code intentions, adding the required import statement & library dependency to your Gradle project files. This optimization can be a time saver since it keeps you in the context of your code.
Moreover, since Jetpack libraries are modularized, Android Studio can find exact library or minimum set of libraries required to use new Jetpack class.

Layout Editor Properties Panel :-

One single pane, with collapsible sections for properties. Additionally, errors & warnings have their own highlight color, & resource binding control for each property, & we have updated color picker.

IntelliJ Platform Update :-

Android Studio 3.4 includes Intellij 2018.3.4. This update has a wide range of improvements from support for multi-line TODOs to an updated search everywhere feature.

Project Structure Dialog (PSD) :-

A user interface front end to manage Gradle project files. The new PSD allows you to see and add dependencies to your project at a module level. Additionally, the new PSD displays build variables, suggestions to improve your build file configuration, & more. You do not have to upgrade your Gradle plugin version number to take advantage of the new PSD.

R8 By Default:

It is the replacement for Proguard. R8 code shrinking helps reduce size of your APK. Thus getting rid of unused code & resources making your actual code take less space.

In comparison to Proguard, R8 combines shrinking, desugaring, & dexing operations into one step, which ends up to be a more efficient approach for Android apps.

R8 is default code shinker for new projects created with Android-Studio 3.4 & for projects using Android-Gradle plugin 3.4 & higher.
