Menu
BeatDJ’s menu system will be no surprise for anyone who has already seen an S8300. Since this one has been launched only recently, I suppose not many of you have seen it, so I’ll sum it up in a nutshell. Samsung puts the TouchWiz interface in their touchscreen phones that have no operating system, but this has improved a lot since its first launch, even though it’s far from being perfect.
The menu has two levels, the main screen uses widgets. A widget is a kind of “live shortcut”, so – if it’s possible – it displays some kind of information too (for example a music player, which displays the currently played track), and by clicking on it we can immediately access the assigned feature. The list of widgets is available from the left side and we can download new ones as well. There are some stupid, useless things like a “stop smoking” widget, which counts the days since we didn’t light a cigar.
With the press of a button we can get from the widget-based main screen to the menu, as there are three virtual keys on the bottom: the dialer, the contact list and the menu. The menu has a normal interface with colored icons in front of a white background and we can’t change this setup. When accessing a submenu, we usually get a list view. It would be all okay if I hadn’t seen the LG Arena. It’s funny that Samsung had an already existing system to tune up and make it perfect, and they have announced this in Barcelona, while LG presented at the same place and the same time a much better system, starting from scratch.
You might ask why LG’s S-Class UI is better than a TouchWiz, so let’s see. It’s one thing that it’s much newer and more logical, but this TouchWiz has such bugs left in it like lagging scrolling, the main screen has only one page (while they could do better, we’ve seen it), there is no multitouch, but the worst is that there is no landscape view for typing. Really, I’d rather had sexual contact with a rocking horse than type a text message on the virtual phone keys, where it took eight (!) taps, just to insert a smiley.
