Samsung’s Magazine UX for smartphones leaked

Samsung is preparing to yet again revamp its TouchWIZ UI. The new interface will likely debut with the upcoming Galaxy S5, boasting a number of elements from the recently unveiled PRO tablets. And what you can see here is how that new UI will look like on a smaller screen, thanks to the ever-savvy folks of EVleaks.

It’s obvious Samsung wants to expand on its “life companion” paradigm by including elements of Google Now in its software. The search giant doesn’t let third parties tap into Google Now so we’re guessing the Korean company is starting from a clean slate. Then again, it already has a number of services and may team-up with select companies to present users with relevant information right on their homescreens.

Presented in the form of cards, users will be able to quickly access such information as flight status, fitness/activity information, current location, text messages, sport scores, biking/cycling data, and delivery tracking details. Add S Voice to the mix, and you get a real Google Now and Siri competitor. Plus, we have no trouble imagining a similar interface residing on top of upcoming Tizen smartphones, which should finally be launched this year. More to come, obviously.

Samsung's Magazine UX for smartphones leaked

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run Symbian Watch which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...
