The first Nubia UI V2.0 launched on Nubia X6 can be said to be the biggest surprise Nubia brings to consumers. The nubia UI V2.5, which is fully equipped in the nubia Z7 series, has been improved in details and performance. Nubia UI V2.5's integrated and simple UI design brings a light and fashionable visual experience, which is undoubtedly liked by many people.
The nubia Z7 series is fully equipped with nubia UI V2.5. According to different screen sizes, nubia Z7 and nubia Z7 Max are equipped with a tablet mode that is more suitable for large screens, while nubia Z7 mini is a mobile phone mode. There is no difference between the two except for slightly different layout design. Nubia Z7 mini experience evaluation has already involved part of it, so this system UI evaluation will use nubia Z7 Max for demonstration.
Nubia UI V2.5 has made a lot of efforts on the lock screen interface. In daily use, the lock screen interface will have a red circle spreading slowly. When charging, there will be green diffuse light fainting, which is quite dynamic overall, and the visual effect is also quite good. Not only that, the camera can be quickly opened on the lock screen interface through sliding gestures at different levels, and quick photography can also be achieved on some mobile phones that do not provide a shutter key. Of course, if customization is provided later, personalization and practicability will be better.
Nubia UI V2.5 focuses on flat and simple style, simplifying all icon elements as much as possible, removing complex decoration and visual effects, and restoring the most basic and important identifiability of icons. And through the change of highlights, shadows and projector details, the icon has a dynamic feel.
The Nubia UI V2.5 desktop is a single-layer design, which is also the design direction of mainstream ROM/OS in China at present. It is quite easy for most domestic consumers to get started. Some common widgets and screen management functions are naturally required. When sorting icons, Nubia UI V2.5 will place the selected pictures in the area to be sorted and then move them. This design makes Nubia UI V2.5 very efficient when sorting out a large number of icons.
The task manager of Nubia UI V2.5 is also very interesting. It uses a card design and can display the current remaining memory and provide a one click cleaning function. The use of card design makes the task manager flexible and vivid. The task manager can also be used efficiently by sliding up to close and pulling down to lock.
The drop-down bar of Nubia UI V2.5 is different from the common one. It has shortcut keys at the bottom. In contrast, it can be easily operated without changing the holding posture during one handed operation. Of course, the drop-down list also supports functions such as order adjustment, addition and deletion. At the same time, after the "View Notification Bar" function in the touch gesture is enabled, you can slide down to view the notification bar at any position on the desktop with a single finger, which is convenient for one hand operation.
The arc extracted from its brand visual elements runs through the entire Nubia UI V2.5 system, making different interfaces have a good unity of tone, and the lively arc animation also brings good visual effects.
According to different screen sizes, nubia UI V2.5 uses a striking large label design in nubia X6, nubia Z7, and nubia Z7 Max. The large label design can make better use of the screen space in the large screen, making more information displayed. Unfortunately, the large label design did not appear in applications such as contacts, otherwise the overall use efficiency would be better.
Nubia UI V2.5 has made a lot of detailed settings and adjustments on the screen brightness. For example, after turning on automatic brightness adjustment, it can also make fine adjustments and intelligent memory, so that nubia Z7 Max will have a better experience and practicability when changing its brightness according to the ambient brightness. The saturation of the screen can also be adjusted to suit the preferences and feelings of different people.
Compared with the simple DTS sound effect of nubia Z7 mini, the Dolby sound effect of nubia Z7 Max is more powerful. In addition to several preset sound effect modes, it can also be slightly adjusted, and there are real-time changes to monitor and adjust.
There is a function application called profile in Nubia UI V2.5, which can be opened by combining different functions into different modes and selecting them. There are pocket mode, single hand mode, power saving mode, sleep mode and desktop mode respectively. From the layout, it seems that different modes or customization functions may be added later.
Pocket mode and power saving mode in the profile are common functions. The pocket mode provides a touch error function to avoid strange problems such as automatic dialing caused by automatic unlocking in the pocket. Of course, the power saving mode is born for better endurance.
There are two desktop modes of Nubia UI V2.5. One is the common standard desktop, and the other is the easy mode. In fact, it is a mode specially designed for special people. Easy mode provides larger text and icons, and simpler interface layout sheet. In fact, it is a simple mode of mixing widgets and icons. For example, the flashlight in the figure can be switched directly. In addition, some of the built-in applications, such as SMS, contacts and phones, have been redesigned and modified in the easy mode, which will be more simple and pure in use.
Nubia UI V2.5 has designed a one handed mode for mobile phones. In comparison, the 5.5 inch nubia Z7 Max does need this function more than the 5 inch nubia Z7 mini. Three small windows with different resolutions can be selected in the single hand mode. This function can be activated by shaking with one hand, and different positions can be adjusted.
Nubia UI V2.5 has added many personalized functions, such as common touch gestures and intelligent experience. Compared with other manufacturers, Nubia UI V2.5 has less gesture language sense functions, but they are practical, such as double clicking on the screen, gesture dialing, and three finger switching applications.
In addition to the one handed mode mentioned above, nubia UI V2.5 has designed an interesting split screen function for the current popular large screen. The split screen function is to divide the screen into two parts. You can operate and view two applications at the same time, a bit like the enhanced version of the floating widget. The split screen function of Nubia UI V2.5 has a good visual effect and is very useful for people who have multitasking operations.
The split screen mode can also switch between different functions by clicking the blue dot in the center, such as full screen and black edge removal, and can also be controlled separately for sound. On the whole, the completion of split screen mode is quite high, and there are no details that affect the operation experience. However, many functions of Nubia UI V2.5 are not well introduced, so it will cause some confusion when used initially.
Nubia UI V2.5 needs to be the UI that understands you best, so there are some detailed functions to provide. For example, the lock screen album can be viewed on the lock screen interface, reducing the operation steps. The second thing I like most is the bottom button customization function, which can be designed around the return button according to personal usage habits and preferences. If the function of short press and long press is customized later, it will be easier to use.
More affectionately, nubia UI V2.5 also adds a startup wallpaper option to the system. In the startup wallpaper, you can view the corresponding pictures and providers. Although it is not practical, the feelings shown are quite touching.
As far as the hardware configuration is concerned, in fact, there is no distance between manufacturers, and the system UI and optimization will be the biggest competition and advantage in the next stage. The emergence of Nubia UI V2.5 has brought huge advantages to Nubia's products. After all, Nubia UI V2.5 is completely new in terms of experience, details and aesthetics.
Of course, Nubia UI V2.5 has made great progress in function introduction, detail processing and follow-up, and there is room for modification. This also requires the Nubia team to continue to work hard. I like the unique features of Nubia UI V2.5, such as split screen mode, Dolby sound effect and the overall unified and coordinated design style.
