Samsung Since s6, we have been making drastic subtractions on our TouchWiz, and even our own apps have made users choose to install them in the Samsung App Store as much as possible. The unified operation logic and reduced operation steps have won Samsung a lot of applause in 15 and 16 years. But perhaps Samsung thinks this is not enough. In the face of the customized system of domestic heroes, TouchWiz It also seems immature, so Samsung launched the iteration of TouchWiz: New Note UX Samsung also provided an internal test on June 8, but only temporarily Note5 Compared with TouchWiz and domestic customized systems, can the new New Note UX get rid of the image of being both scum and card?

1: Global quick review

Compared with TouchWiz, New Note UX has undergone tremendous changes. Almost all icon UI has been redesigned to be more flat and more user friendly. The setting operation of the main interface has retained the previous routine. You can call up the setting menu by double fingering or long pressing the main interface, New Note UX still keeps the briefing. Users can also make full use of this 5.7 inch 2K screen by setting the screen grid. New Note UX can choose the traditional Android mode: the main interface plus application page or a single main interface display. It can be seen that New Note UX has given the user the display mode of the interface, allowing users to set their own main interface.

If you can see the changes of New Note UX at a glance, it must be a drop-down column. The pull-down column uses white as the base color, and adopts a 2-segment design. The s search is integrated into the pull-down column and above it, so as to make the pull-down column as simple and clear as possible.

Long press the drop-down list to customize the layout of shortcut buttons, and the list of details is integrated below the shortcut button. Users can directly perform related simple operations in the drop-down list without going to different levels to set function items.

On the main interface, you can press and hold the app icon to slide up or down to unload the app and remove the corner marks. In addition, a one button alignment icon is added to quickly sort out the icons. Virgo should smile faintly in the toilet. On the whole, I can only say that although these functions came a little late, they still came.

The folder has also been changed. There is no border constraint and the ground glass background is visually very good. In addition, users can quickly identify classified folders by changing the background color of the folder, which is more effective than looking at the text.

The built-in apps of the system are highly unified in operation logic and color matching, so that new users can get familiar with New Note UX very quickly, instead of getting familiar with each app one by one as in the old days. As it is an internal beta, the theme store does not support the use temporarily, and users can only change wallpapers.

New Note UX integrates many local functions according to Chinese customs, such as the integration of intelligent holiday skipping in the alarm clock, the setting of common timing options in the timer, etc. It can be seen that Samsung is dedicated to local grounding. Of course, there are many other functions, but since they overlap with TouchWiz, I will not list them all.

In terms of the system, we have updated the latest version. New Note UX, like TouchWiz, is based on Android 6.0.1. After restoring the factory settings, the available space of the system is about 24.5GB, which is well controlled.

2: Details

New Note UX has made a new design for the setting menu. The function classification is clearer and clearer, and the interface is simple. The "Quick Settings" bar of TouchWiz has been removed. If the previous Android setting menu has left you helpless, then you really should try New Note UX.

New Note UX has added the currently widely acclaimed luminous mode "Blue Light Filtering". The overall experience is similar to that of iOS, and it can be set to automatically adjust. The system will automatically adjust according to the sunrise and sunset of the day. In addition, users can see the various occupancy conditions of the application in the system very intuitively in the program information, which is very useful in China, It can help users find rogue apps very well.

New Note UX provides two levels of dpi for users to choose. Users can adjust them according to their viewing habits. New Note UX also optimizes the icons of third-party apps. Users can choose to display original icons or processed icons.

Finally, New Note UX gives users a great deal of control over application notifications. Users can set according to the importance of the application to themselves, and prevent the notification bar from being pushed by garbage to dominate the screen. The addition of priority also greatly improves the availability of interference free mode, which is worth praising

3: Summary

After using New Note UX for a few days, I can sum it up in one sentence as a familiar stranger. You can obviously feel the shadow of TouchWiz in the operation experience, but the further flattening, refinement and simplification of the interface and the unity of the operation logic make you feel bright. The in-depth optimization of localization also makes the overall experience more grounded. The most important thing is that New Note UX, which seems to have little change, has made great efforts in the operation cost, Many of the user's operations can be completed on the same interface, such as the sub columns of each shortcut button in the drop-down menu, which have unconsciously saved the user time. However, once you get used to these insignificant changes, you may not be able to go back.

Of course, because it is an internal beta version, the minor editor can obviously feel the frame drop when he is using Note5 to experience New Note UX, and he has also died for one or two times. But after all, it is an internal beta version, and can't require too much stability. The minor editor is also looking forward to the arrival of the official version in September, when he will bring more detailed system evaluation to the big house.
