Samsung reportedly trying new Android UI for its upcoming smartphones

Are you tired of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI? Then you’ll probably be happy to find out that the South Korean company is reportedly “exploring” the possibilities of launching a new smartphone UI. Trusty insider @evleaks has posted three screenshots of the alleged new UI, allowing us to see that it looks quite different from Samsung’s current TouchWiz Nature offering.

Unfortunately, details on this new smartphone UI from Samsung are missing. But we can spot a Magazine icon, which leads us to believe that the new UI is related to the new Magazine UX that debuted yesterday on Samsung's 12.2-inch Galaxy NotePRO. Overall, the UI looks simple and elegant. Sure enough, there's no way of telling if this will ever make it to a commercial smartphone. But we're thinking that the rumored Galaxy S5 - expected to be officially announced in the next few months - can have a fresh look with a UI like this.

Until we hear more on the matter, take a peek at the screenshots below and let us know what you think about this new possible Samsung UI design.

Update: We must mention that this looks like an early prototype of the UI.
