Looks good overall but if you wanted a bit more spice maybe something like:
Tabbed browsing, faster language switching & more! Android users, now is the time to check out our newly updated app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en
Or
Tabbed browsing & faster language switching are just some of the new improvements to our newly updated android app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en

So, originally my thinking was that tabbed browsing is a very fundamental feature that should have been part of the app from the very beginning, so I was afraid that for us to loudly announce it at this point might be perceived as unwarranted horn-tooting... But looking at the latest Play Store reviews, it looks like the users are responding very positively to it (comparing to the previous version), so I wouldn't be opposed to mentioning tabbed browsing explicitly.
I'm happy to leave it in Comms' capable hands to decide! (I kind of like James's first suggestion)

Thanks all! My concern with the more specific version is that the average user might not know what those features mean without further explanation. With product descriptions we should use simple, clear language as much as possible. Also it would be good to make it clear up front that this is for Android only.
What about something like:
Are you an Android user? Check out the updated Wikipedia app for Android--now with improved article browsing and language selection!

Epilogue: Just talked with Dmitry about the fact that we now also have a mechanism for tracking the impact of such campaigns (how many app installs) via EventLogging, by adding a parameter to the Play Store URL - would be great to include that next time.
