You can see the difference between different systems simply from the desktop. IOS sampling quasi-materialization style and flat compatibility style, with top desktop widget, bring a sense of order; Compared with Huawei's previous EMUI, the value of HarmonyOS system has been greatly improved, and the simplicity of flat design and smart folders are well integrated, simple and efficient; The icon of Orign OS is quite lively as a whole, the size and shape of the icon are easy to customize, and the atomic component is quite practical. Magic UI is similar to the previous EMUI, and the icons have a strong business style.
On the other hand, ColorOS uses a lot of geometric elements, and uses the translucent material of acrylic, which makes the icon efficient, layered and textured at a glance. At the same time, iOS, HarmonyOS system and other systems have designs to improve the efficiency of use, just like ColorOS also has many designs to improve the efficiency of use, such as "noise reduction design" and intelligent sidebar 2.0. Among them, the noise reduction design reduces unnecessary information, distinguishes primary and secondary with color, and the information is clearer; Smart Sidebar 2.0 is hidden in the side and can be exhaled in various applications. You can not only open small windows at any time, but also have very practical gadgets such as screen capture, video recording, free translation and calculator. To make the daily experience more efficient and meet more needs of users.
Outside the direct desktop, the design of negative screen is very important. The different functional partitions of iOS are clear, except for the power supply, there are basically no icons, which is quite simple; HarmonyOS system and Magic UI have many functions, but they all have similar problems, such as the following advertisements and video recommendations, which are generally chaotic and affect the value and usability; The negative screen of Orign OS is a card that feels integrated with Android vendors, which is simple and has few functions, but the overall usability is high; ColorOS, like iOS, is text-oriented and has perfect functions on the basis of simplicity. It not only has the weather function, but also has the functions of checking express delivery and smooth AI commonly used by domestic users. There is no doubt that it has done quite well.
In the drop-down bar, we don't have much difference, we can only say that each has its own style. IOS has different functional partitions, which emphasize music, brightness and volume partitions, and the overall performance is good. The overall style of HarmonyOS system and Magic UI is similar, and the HarmonyOS system magnifies the music, brightness and other partitions; The drop-down bar display of Orign OS is the most lively and colorful. The disadvantage is that it is a bit strange to leave the upper part blank. On the whole, the drop-down bar of ColorOS is still a common layout of Android, but it has many special functions, and the brightness bar is made larger and more convenient for users to operate.
On the whole, the five major brand systems have their own advantages and biases in icon UI, and they also bring different control experiences. For example, OPPO's ColorOS 12. 1 has better portability, and its aesthetics and strength are worthy of recognition in daily life. So which of the above five brand systems do you prefer?
