Meizu opens the first bomb: the Flyme trip of Samsung S4

IT 168 evaluation Earlier, J.wong revealed in Weibo that the Flyme system of Samsung S4 will be officially launched at the end of July, and will be pushed by the brush assistant. Samsung S4 will be the first mobile phone supporting non-Meizu in Flyme system. Meizu's Flyme system is opening faster and faster. Today, we received Samsung S4 that has been brushed into Meizu Flyme system. This Samsung S4 is a single card version of the Bank of China i9500, using Samsung's CPU, and the hardware configuration is generally close to Meizu MX3. Next, let's take a look at what kind of experience the Flyme system with silent beauty on Samsung S4 will bring.

Meizu Flyme system is on. The first mobile phone that supports brushing is Samsung S4. Meizu also announced its support for Nexus5, but Nexus5 did not become the first mobile phone that can brush Flyme system. Samsung S4 should be chosen because its user base is relatively large and its hardware configuration is close to Meizu MX3. Meizu has not released the Flyme system brush package of Samsung S4 for the time being. This time Meizu directly provided us with a Samsung S4 with Flyme system.

Samsung S4 boot screen brushed with Meizu Flyme system has become Meizu Logo, which is the same as the boot screen of Meizu MX2 and MX3.

▲ Start language selection for the first time.

▲ bind Flyne account

You need to choose a language for the first startup, and the Flyem system supports multiple languages. You can bind a Flyme account for the first time, and you can synchronize data through the Flyme account.

▲Flyme system interface

After entering the system, it is basically the same as the Flyme system on Meizu mobile phone. The fluency of the system has reached a very good level, which is no different from the operation sense of MX3, and the function of the mobile phone is relatively perfect.

▲Flyme system unlock interface

The screen unlocking method used by Samsung S4 after brushing into Flyme system has not changed. Swipe up to enter the system interface, but cancel the function of directly swiping up to unlock the system when the screen is black. Because Samsung S4 has a physical HOME button, you can directly press the HOME button to light up the screen and then unlock it.

▲ drop-down menu

The drop-down function switch is the most commonly used, and there is no option to customize the function switch. However, there are still as many task events as there are, and there is no full-screen occlusion.

▲ Dialing interface

The dialing interface of Flyme system of Samsung S4 is exactly the same as that on Meizu mobile phone, and the design is also very simple and beautiful.

▲ SMS interface

Like the new Flyme system on Meizu mobile phone, the SMS interface is divided into three tabs: personal, notification and collection, and the system will automatically identify and classify the SMS.

▲ System settings

The setting interface is set to two columns, with category labels on the left and specific details in the category on the right. The category labels can display text labels by dragging and sliding, and the up-and-down order of moving labels can be customized by long pressing the category labels.

▲ System version number

Finally, entering the system information, we can see that the version number of Samsung S4' s Fyme system is 3.7.2, which is based on Android 4.4.4 system. At present, Meizu's own MX3 system version number is updated to 3.7.4.

▲ Samsung S4 button

Because Samsung S4 uses the physical HOME button, the function of the HOME button on Meizu mobile phone has changed, and the menu button and back button of Samsung S4 have been preserved.

▲ Application background

After Samsung S4 is swiped into Flyme system, the background application mode is no longer an upward gesture on Meizu mobile phone, but directly press and hold the HOME button to close the screen on Meizu mobile phone. Here, I want to say that due to the design problem of Samsung S4 itself, if the right hand is used to pressing HOME with the thumb for a long time and touching the back button, the application background cannot be called up.

▲ brightness level

Sliding left in the application background can also adjust the screen brightness, and you can directly enter the hand settings, and other shortcut keys can also be added here.

▲ Close the background program.

In the application background, hold down the application and slide up to close the application, and slide down to close all applications. This function is also available on Meizu mobile phone.

▲ Back button

Samsung S4' s menu and back key are reserved. You can press the menu key in the application to bring up the menu of the application, but the operation of aspect key is no different from that of ordinary Android system.

▲SmartBar

We found that the SmartBar of Samsung S4 Flyme system is also different. Because there are no back and menu buttons on Meizu mobile phone, the icons of back and menu appear on the SmartBar, while Samsung S4 has back and menu buttons, so there is no need to add back and menu buttons on the SmartBar.

Most applications downloaded in Meizu's application center will have smart bars, while the same applications downloaded in other application centers do not have smart bars. For SmartBat, it is very convenient to operate because there are no back and menu buttons on Meizu mobile phone, while Samsung S4 has back and menu buttons, so there is basically no influence on operation without SmartBar, and its application without SmartBat has more reading space.

Smart Bar and Back, menu key:

▲SmartBar has a back button, and the phone cannot touch the back button.

In addition, we found that some applications downloaded by Meizu Application Center have menu keys in SmartBar. When the menu key appears in the SmartBar, the physical menu key of Samsung S4 will be disabled. The application in Meizu Application Center has not yet unified whether the SmartBar has menu buttons, so it is suggested that Flyme users of Samsung S4 download applications without SmartBar version directly from other application centers.

The camera function of Samsung S4' s Flyme system has been simplified, but many functions have not been added, such as panoramic mode and focusing after taking pictures. In addition, the settable parameters are greatly reduced, and the camera's focusing speed is also slow, which is slightly slower than Meizu's own MX3.

Our Samsung S4 equipped with Flyme system uses Samsung Exynos 54 10 eight nuclear CPU, and its score in Flyme system is 24380, which is slightly lower than that with Samsung original system, but it can be considered within the error range.

The function of Meizu MX3 mobile phone has been transplanted to Samsung S4. Compared with the original Trinary star system, the Flyme system of Samsung S4 has been greatly improved, and the interface design has become fresher and the operation is simpler.

Experience summary:

After a day's experience, the completion of Flyme transplanting Samsung S4 can be said to be quite high. Originally, we were worried that the unique interaction mode of HOME button +Smartbar would not be acclimatized to the traditional physical buttons, but in fact, we can solve this problem by using a third-party application center to download the ordinary version of the application (non-Smartbarz special version). In other places, except for the poor photo completion, the overall experience is basically not much different from the feeling of using an MX3.

Looking at the current domestic mobile phone deep customization system field, Xiaomi MIUI and Meizu Flyme, two "veterans", can still maintain their unique and excellent interactive experience advantages, among which Xiaomi MIUI has always been open and adaptive, so Meizu Flyme is always looking forward to the open and adaptive system. In the next August, Xiaomi MIUI will be updated to V6 version, and Meizu Flyme is expected to release MX4 and Flyme4.0 around September. At that time, I believe that the accurate news of the full opening of Flyme system will be further announced. These two major events in the domestic Android mobile phone customization system industry are still worth looking forward to.
