For today's smart phones, in a sense, the mobile phone hardware is only the carrier of each function, and the system is the soul of the realization of various functions, its importance and core position can not be underestimated. Whether it is international companies such as Apple, Samsung, Or domestic boutique Meizu, millet, hammer, have their own carefully customized mobile phone system, as a pioneer of domestic smart phones, Meizu launched in 2012 as early as the independent Flyme operating system.
The Flyme system is one of the core competencies of Meizu Technology. In a sense, without Flyme, there is no current Meizu mobile phone. From the beginning in the Windows CE era, Flyme brought quasi-materialized UI to the rough Android system at the time. In the Flyme 2 era, Smartbar was born, and almost the life of the Android classic three-button, all operations can be completed by the screen, become a classic. Evolution to Flyme 6, One Mind has made Flyme have its own s life.
Since then, Flyme has updated iteratively. The evolution of each generation of Flyme, the innovative ideas brought about by the entire mobile phone system industry, has been imitated, followed, and become the followers of the Android industry. In the 15th anniversary of the Meizu Conference, Flyme officially upgraded to Version 7, smarter, more efficient, more worry-free, smoother Flyme unveiled the veil of long absence. Today, we started to experience the new Flyme 7, to see what changes and enhancements in Flyme 7.
New interaction: small, fresh, easy to use
In terms of UI design, Flyme 7 maintains the same basic design ideas as Flyme 6, and it is still a simple and flat style. However, some icons are simply redrawn and the colors are very refreshing. The operating logic of the entire setup menu is not too large. The change, like Flyme 6, is very convenient for the old users of Meizu, and the learning cost is low. For the new users of Meizu, the Flyme 7 UI is flat and interactive, and it is easy to get started.
In addition, Flyme is also equipped with interesting animation effects. For example, weather simulation in the weather app is more realistic, the image, the interaction experience is more pure, and the voice broadcast function is added to the calculator. It is still very interesting to use.
Bubble notification: More efficient, more convenient notification
Speaking of Flyme, everyone might think of the sight of a blue balloon rising slowly. This is Flyme's iconic animation. In this Flyme 7 update message notification, the balloon element is also abstracted, In the introduction notice, a small window reply function was added at the same time. Flyme 7 makes the interruption caused by the notification of the message decrease, and it is more immersive.
▲ In the game, there is an incoming call, which does not affect the game at all
Normally, scenes such as playing games are easily disturbed by irrelevant notifications. Messages will block the entire interface of the mobile phone and occasionally cause stabling. We simply test that running King Glory under Flyme 7 will always receive messages. The bubble form display will not block the main content of the game interface, nor will it cause a phenomenon such as Caton. At this time, if it is an unimportant notice, you can ignore it; if it is important notice, click the small window button directly. , Fast reply on the current page, without switching background. This design logic is time-saving and convenient for the user, seamless return, strong consistency. It can not fall off important news, it will not disrupt ideas, influence To what is currently being done. Of course, this feature can also be applied to such scenes as reading e-books, listening to music, watching videos, etc., which are quite fast.
▲ Tips will float in the form of barrage
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the information of WeChat and other notifications in Flyme 7 will float across the screen in the form of barrage. Compared to some systems, only a dialog box pops up but does not display the specific content. The user still has to click to see it. With specific content, Flyme 7 is obviously more efficient.
Desktop Index: Small features, great convenience
The desktop index is a function of exchanging desktop APPs when the desktop APP is complicated. At the conference, when displaying the PPT animation of the desktop index effect, it attracts many charmers. In actual use, the conference communicates. The visual effects are far more incisive than the manual experience. In addition to the full use of the side, so that it is no longer a patent for the curved screen, at the same time take care of the right hand of the user with different habits, both sides can slide; More importantly, the linear motor's blessing, vibration feedback experience is very delicate, linear motor feedback can be said to be the best experience in the Android phone.
In addition, the ordering of the same initials is also more convenient. The applications that use the higher frequency are closer to your finger. The applications that Xiaobian often uses are WeChat, Weibo and QQ music. These three applications In the first letter of the sort is always closest to my finger. This design logic to facilitate the user to open them faster the next time you use the desktop index. And some index is simple, mechanically sorting by the sub-letter or the number of strokes , Failed to reflect the wisdom and convenience of smart phones.
Global night mode: The most gentle night mode in Android
In fact, the first operating system that launched the global night mode on Android phones is Flyme. 7. It uses a system-level color conversion system. After the global night mode is turned on, all applications including all third parties comply with this logic. , gives a more unified visual experience, its convenience, comfort is self-evident, is the night owl, mobile party essential. In other systems, so-called eye protection mode is generally to adjust the screen brightness to a minimum, and The screen suddenly turns yellow (warm tones), but in reality, the look and feel brought by this look and feel is not translucent and comfortable.
On the Flyme 7, there is no need to endure yellowing and dimmed screen effects like other systems. You can easily enjoy normal nighttime lighting at the touch of a button, and applications that do not support night mode will not appear when switching applications. The glaring sensation it brings. However, it needs to be reminded that Flyme 7 has not supported the game to enter the global night mode. After all, the night mode is mainly to support reading and browsing text more comfortably under dark light. And even WeChat, Taobao, which is the most commonly used third-party application has also been adapted, Flyme does not only face the surface.
Data Rescue: Helping Straw in Broken Screens
In Flyme 7, there is also added a very interesting function: Data rescue. Today's smart phones store a lot of important private data, what's wrong is that if the mobile phone accidentally breaks the screen, the user and the mobile phone cannot connect to the computer. Timely access to the data in the phone. And really, Flyme 7 gives its own solution: Just connect the computer and let any one of the contact's ## lock screen password #* to the mobile phone, you can switch the phone to U disk mode, without having to operate the phone, you can also read data through the computer.
The author also tried to simulate this function. It was simulated that the mobile phone had broken the screen and could not operate the mobile phone. There was no response after connecting to the computer. Then the mobile phone sent a message to the mobile phone through the number in the contact, and the mobile phone sent a message saying 'Connection is successful'. Afterwards, Meizu 15's data appeared on the computer. It was very convenient for the emergency. In addition, it can be seen that when Flyme 7 is connected to a computer, the default is 'recharge only'.
Smarter Flyme: One Mind Connected Program
Face unlocking: A more innocent unlocking experience
It is reasonable to say that the 15 series of new products released with Flyme are suitable for face unlocking, but it is beyond reason that 10 old models including PRO5 are also open and adaptable. It is understood that Xiaomi only fits Face unlocking new models after widespread popularity, such as millet note3, millet 6, and flagship millet 5 as in previous years, thousands of red rice note4X, etc. have not been added. In contrast, enough to see Flyme 7 pairs The user's tolerance and care. The threshold is low, but the quality is not low. Flyme cooperates with Shangtang Technology to ensure extremely fast unlocking speed, high recognition rate and safe unlocking environment.
In actual use, Flyme 7's face unlocking is still very convenient. Even under low light conditions and large angular misalignment, it can still successfully unlock in less than 1 second. We have also verified the algorithm of living body unlocking. Accuracy: Using the photo to try to unlock, but failed to unlock, the security of face unlocking is evident. Not only that, we set the password of the private application and found that the unique feature of the human face is the same as the human fingerprint. As another way of encrypting and unlocking private applications, the operation is more convenient and the methods are more diverse.
Personal Assistant: Smarter Assistant
With One Mind, Flyme 7 has also joined personal assistants. In the form of a card, it integrates the current user's most commonly used 16 frequently used scenes for quick information and services such as to-dos, commuter traffic, sports step counting, scene services, parking Navigation, takeaway order, stock quotes, express delivery, etc. Among them, parking card, takeaway ordering, scene service is a special feature of Flyme 7 personal assistant.
For example, when the author travels on May Day, the ticket booked in advance will be automatically generated ticket card, travel time, location information at a glance, and intelligence will be based on the road conditions, the current location and the distance from the airport (or train station) Remind, do a good job for you to do scientific travel planning. Usually recommend a more reliable near the phone takeaway, direct orders in the card. For the author to have such a choice of phobia, Flyme 7 this feature is also intimate.
There are other small surprises
Smart Light This small feature also allows Android to have the ability to move closer to iOS. Since the advent of smartphones for many years, Android phones have not been able to handle the automatic adjustment of the screen brightness, but iOS has done a good job. Flyme 7 against this drawback Optimize the ability to automatically adjust the brightness, develop smart light system, the actual experience is indeed a lot of progress, will not appear before the flicker of the situation, give people a feeling is relatively calm and natural.
Smart ear protectors are also available in the embarrassing situation when users face the use of headphones. We often have such an experience, inserting headphones in a loud environment, people can be caught off guard. In the Flyme 7 experience, if the volume is too loud, the headset will automatically adjust To the appropriate volume, if the volume is adjusted too high or the headset is used for too long, it will pop up to remind. This humanized highlight is rarely considered by the rest of the system.
In terms of functionality, Flyme 7 is also optimized for the performance and power saving of mobile phones. The use of memory for the malicious behavior of third-party APPs, card occupancy, and heat generation, as well as the power consumption and traffic consumption of users, were introduced by Flyme 7. A series of solutions, including bomb box hosting, audio lock hosting, bright screen lock hosting, broadcast optimization, wake-up alignment, process freeze, etc., made Flyme's experience even better and also reduced APP's power consumption. New in Flyme 7 The abnormal App reset mechanism will automatically recognize the abnormal phenomenon in the background and reset the APP. Self-healing can be achieved without human intervention.
Summary: Flyme 7 upholds a better Slogan, pixel-sized icons, unintentional message notifications, and the most advanced intelligent algorithm One Mind, performance optimization, all embodying Flyme's humanistic care for users. In the actual experience, personal assistants in the One Mind Connect program, face unlocking and other functions have really helped me greatly improve the efficiency of implementation, and small functions such as smart light feel really made me feel other Android systems. The comfort that I did not bring in. After a period of use, my biggest feeling about Flyme 7 is: After a complete upgrade based on One Mind, the operation is more efficient and smart, and there are some small and useful features highlighted. The difference between Flyme and other systems has brought me too many unexpected surprises.
