And today, we are going to introduce the new design of Flyme 6!

Speaking of Flyme Design, users' first impression might be simple, fresh, mimimalism, etc. And since Flyme 5, the color of Flymhas become more bright and colorful compared to the quiet and elegent Flyme 4. This alternation has been even more obvious on the color selection in Flyme 6. There are 7 colors chosen as the basic color tones of Flyme 6, and we can see directly that these colors are bolder, brighter and more saturated.

In Flyme 5 the designer team introduced a concept called 'Content Design'. And it becomes instantly a major highlight of Flyme ever since.
 

So what exactly is Content Design?
The focus and key point of this design is Content. The designer team believed that users should be fully enjoy the content on the screen, rather than being distracted by the fancy layout design, which, according to this principle, should only be an assisting factor to improve the readability of the content. So instead of creating glamourous designing elements, they removed lines and frames to make the interface looks more integrated. It is under this principle that in Flyme 6, text is more clear than the delicate and thin font in Flyme 5. By increasing the font weight, Flyme 6 further enhanced the readability of the system.
