Being the most successful Android manufacturer allows Samsung certain licenses that, in certain cases, go in a totally opposite direction to the philosophy that Google try to promote on your platform. Lately, the interface UX Magazine that the Koreans have arranged in their new Galaxy Tab Pro and Note Pro 12.2 has been controversial due to its similarity to the Windows 8 / RT metro desktop.
Last week, however, we learned that Samsung had given reverse in the development of this type of environment and that it would not use them again in any of its Galaxy products, thus showing an approach to Google that may be conditioned by many other factors. Coincidentally, a day before, the Mountain Viewers had announced the sale of Motorola to Lenovo, and we already pointed out possible links between both events.
Magazine UX, default desktop
As they point out on the Internet, a screen with the Interface UX Magazine it will always be present at the beginning. In addition, users of the Galaxy tab pro y Galaxy Note Pro They can add all the standard screens they want, but the magazine format It cannot be deleted in any way.
Certainly, if we use a launcher like Nova or Appex we will obtain a pure Android interface in which this type of desktop will not appear, but that way we would be deactivating TouchWiz full.
What will happen to the interface of the Galaxy S5?
Throughout the last few weeks, captures have been circulating screen of the supposed new TouchWiz interface that Samsung will use in the Galaxy S5. Its appearance showed clear similarities with Magazine UX, or with other concepts previously used by different companies such as Blinkfeed HTC or cards Google Now.
However, after Samsung has backtracked, it is quite possible that the desktop of the Galaxy S5 resembles (albeit in a flatter version) to the drawing of its predecessors.
