　　The Note 4 runs Android, Google’s mobile operating system, but like most Samsung phones, ithas been dolled up by TouchWiz, the company’s horrendous homegrown user interface.For themost part, TouchWiz isn’t pretty; it is a mess of garish colors and unintuitive gestures, anduntil you get accustomed to its quirks, it will seem to add unnecessary steps to just aboutevery common task.

　　Note 4运行的是谷歌(Google)的移动操作系统Android，但和三星的大部分手机一样，它使用的是该公司自己糟糕透顶的用户界面TouchWiz。TouchWiz的大多数地方都不好看;过分鲜艳的颜色和有违直觉的使用手势乱七八糟地结合在一起。除非适应它的怪癖，否则它似乎给几乎每一项常见任务都增加了一些不必要的步骤。

　　The surprise, then, is that for the Note 4 Samsung has built several useful features intoTouchWiz that collectively recognize an important truth about phablets: We use them indifferent modes.

　　Note 4令人惊喜的是，三星在TouchWiz中加入了几个有用的功能，这些功能在一起，体现出它认识到了平板手机的一个真理：我们是在不同的模式下使用它们的。

　　Sometimes, we use them as phones, or quick-hit devices to use on the go, when we need toscan email or look up directions. Other times, we use them in deeper ways, to go throughmorning mail, plan a day in a calendar, take notes while on a phone call or watch a show.

　　有时，我们会将它们用作手机，或是忙乱时需要用来浏览邮件或查询方位的快速点击设备。其他时候，我们对它们的使用更深入，仔细查收早上的邮件、在日历上安排某天的计划、在通话或看演出期间做笔记。

　　Samsung has smartly built its interface to facilitate either of these ways of using a phablet.Apple’s big iPhone, by contrast, does not appreciate these two modes; you use the iPhone 6Plus pretty much as you would any other phone.

　　三星巧妙地对自己的界面进行了打造，使其让平板手机的这两种使用方式都变得更便利。相比之下，苹果的大屏iPhone并未意识到这两种方式;你使用iPhone 6 Plus的方式，跟其他任何一种手机没什么两样。

　　For use as a smartphone, Samsung has come up with a few tricks that make the phone easierto use in one hand.

　　对于智能手机的使用，三星想出了一些技巧，让Note 4的单手操作更容易。

　　The best of these is the side-key panel, a pop-up menu of useful icons that sits on the left orright side of the screen, right under your thumb.

　　这些技巧中最棒的是侧面键盘。这是一个弹出式的菜单，上面有一些有用的图标。这个菜单会出现在屏幕的左侧或右侧，正好位于拇指下方。

　　Samsung’s labyrinthine interface does not make the Note 4’s utility obvious, and even if itdid, there would be a learning curve to grasping its unusual powers. That’s why Apple’sphablet is far easier to use. But if you’re patient, and you want a glimpse of the phone oftomorrow, you should take a look at the Note 4.

　　在三星复杂的界面下，Note 4的易用性并非显而易见，即便它做到了这一点，要理解其不同寻常的能力，也需要进行长时间的学习。这正是苹果的平板手机更易用的原因。但如果有耐心，而且想一瞥未来的手机，你应该看看Note 4。
