Recently, the newly released Alibaba YunOS 3.0 is adapted to the semi old flagship Samsung S4. As a dead star who does not brush opportunities, we also brush the machine at the first time. What will be the experience of this Alipay level security and ease of use system? Now let's have a look.
Brushing method
This official forum provides a card swiping package. For machines that have been swiped into third-party recovery, they can be swiped directly after double cleaning. For the machine that has not yet flushed recovery, you need to first flush recovery with Samsung's official Odin client. The method is relatively simple.
System bottom layer
The first time the system is started, it is still a classic guidance interface, with obvious simple and flat style.
The unlocking logic of the new system is to scroll down. Press the camera icon in the lower right corner to scroll left to open the camera. Double click the clock to call up the music controller. The clock itself will display the second hand, and the weather animation will be displayed, which is very detailed.
The most obvious feature of the system desktop is that the application icons are unified into cards, and the left side is the card based "life service center". It seems a little strange at first, but the huge card does not require high click accuracy, and the single hand operation is good.
Draw down the desktop to call up the search interface directly, and long press the setting key to call up the voice assistant. The animation of task management is clean and fast, and there is no obvious slow sense of thumbnail replacement like MIUI 6. The functions of down stroke locking, up stroke closing and one button cleaning are also available.
The notice bar will display the application notice in two levels: important and ordinary, the head resident calendar and the flow control entrance.
The notification mask button can be directly called out by the left stroke notification, and the right stroke is a shortcut switch. The simplified line wind icon is also "large in size", and supports user-defined order.
The system settings interface has been rearranged and streamlined. The animation speed settings in developer mode have been conscientiously retained, while other unexpected developer functions have been hidden.
System application
The interfaces and functions of communication modules such as dialing and SMS are relatively restrained. Swipe left and right to switch between call records, contacts and yellow pages, with common functions such as blacklist, unfamiliar number marking, microblog synchronization, etc.
The short message function is small and sophisticated, which can be folded without displaying notification information in the pop-up window, and is sent 2 seconds later by default.
The security center includes rights management, garbage cleaning, anti disturbance, power and flow monitoring functions.
The encryption, payment security, protection, anti-theft and other advanced functions are mainly aimed at privacy and account security.
The layout of input method has also been simplified, but its functions are extremely rich, including night mode, simple and complex switching, and even two-dimensional code scanning and geographical location import functions.
The camera is very delicate, and the left and right swipes can be switched between the functions of "touch, video, code scanning, panorama". In order to simplify the interface, filters, exposure and white balance control are placed in the secondary menu, which is expected to be preferred by ordinary users.
The music application is cooperated with Xiami Music. The interface is highly complete and has many functions. The music collection, radio, leaderboard, music library, timed shutdown, music alarm clock and other resources and functions are complete.
The clock application has been done carefully. The super flat style and unified button style, as well as the alarm clock that displays the remaining time, the red dot of the moving second hand, and the directly dragged timer have all made great improvements in ease of use.
Calendar, weather, photo album, compass, recorder, computer, file manager, application center and other functional applications are fresh interfaces with mainstream functions, and the function of setting keys is removed to simplify the hierarchy.
System features
The improvement of the new system mainly focuses on ease of use, privacy and account security.
Life service center
The information center on the left side of the desktop of other systems has been made into a card like "life service center", and the animation and shadow blur effects are very exquisite.
"News, movies, reading, maps, shopping, taxi taking, train tickets, express delivery, violation inquiry" and other functions are integrated into it, and almost every conceivable life function is in it.
This part is the inherited function of the early YunOS, which runs uniformly in the form of web apps. Almost every function is a simplified query interface, with high speed and practicability, which can avoid the trouble of installing local applications.
Desktop Card
The card application icon also serves as a shortcut and notification center. For music, calendar and other applications, the album cover and to-do list of the currently playing song will be directly displayed on the icon.
The number of notifications will generate a digital corner, and moving the icon upward can call up the application's own notification list and support direct operation. This function is really handy.
Desktop zero
When you zoom in with two fingers on the desktop, a hidden drawer will be pulled out, and the target application will be hidden after being put in to prevent the background from stealing traffic.
This function is not only used to deal with the check of the boyfriend and girlfriend, but also can be used to deal with those rogue applications.
private space
The system security center integrates a privacy lock, which can directly lock communications, pictures, files, and applications. Because it is a system application, it is difficult to break through encryption.
Moreover, encryption is to encrypt the file itself. Even if the file is copied away, it cannot be viewed. The number of security (xiang) systems (kuang) is quite high.
System safety and performance
As It is hard to get the root permission of the system with Taobao Alipay, but it also ensures that the security of the system will not be destroyed by your own cheap hands.
When the system detects that the running program is Alipay or Taobao and other applications, it will automatically open the payment security mode to prevent third-party applications from screenshots, reading SMS messages, keyboard reading and other operations.
Native system score (which system can be distinguished from the status bar)
Alibaba YunOS scores
In terms of system optimization, the new system has a certain improvement over the original system, in which the pi calculation speed has increased by 33%.
In terms of energy saving, the system also provides a variety of preset modes for power consumption control. The detailed endurance results need more follow-up tests, but during the test, the classic high temperature phenomenon on Samsung S4 has weakened, and it is estimated that the endurance will be improved to some extent.
summary
The new version of Alibaba YunOS 3.0 has performed far better than I expected on Samsung S4. There are many fresh improvements in the system UI and operation logic. In terms of system security and localization, the system is endorsed by the software and services of the entire Alibaba system, which is much better than Samsung's original slag system in terms of ease of use, and is obviously more suitable for daily use.
In fact, for many users, the flagship phones of a year or two ago are already redundant. Compared with performance, these users expect fresh interfaces, better usability and security. If it happens that your S4 is still using the native system, the author suggests upgrading it as early as possible.
