Yes, better upscaling for blu-ray (XBox One S does not upscale blu-ray nor DVD)
They include dual hdmi out, one for audio in case your amp is not hdmi 2.0 compatible.
Pass through bitstream for Dolby Atmos / DTS:X
Support 3D blu-ray in case anyone still uses that

Anyway a serious movie buff investing thousands in a UHD premium tv will go for the Panasonic player

Or simply wait until next year when there's more choice, more and improved UHD discs, better and more affordable HDR tvs.

The Xbox One S will upscale ALL non-4k content to 4k.

"4K upscaling
In addition to supporting 4K video content when used in conjunction with a 4K TV, Xbox One S will also upscale non-4K content to display at 4K when paired with a 4K TV. When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console — Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like 1080p content) is upscaled to 4K."

There's something else to note though. The Xbox One S output drops from 2160p to 1080p when you insert a regular Blu-ray disc. That fits the native resolution of the Blu-ray, so the Xbox then isn't "upscaling", it's feeding that 1080p content to the TV and the TV is then making the pictures fit the display.
The same applies to DVD, if you're still watching those too, but that's the right way to do it. You can't force the Xbox to output a 2160p image from these lower-res discs, so the TV is then doing any video processing it can to clean up the image.
Who to believe, marketing or review. Not that it matters much for movies, no display lag problems and the tv will probably do a better job at upscaling. However a dedicated upscaling 4K blu-ray player might do a better job than the tv.
