Samsung lets you experience the Galaxy S23 on your…iPhone

Samsung is trying a new tactic to entice iPhone users to try the Galaxy S23. Rather than an in-store demo or specific event, Samsung will let you experience the Galaxy S23 directly from an iPhone.

The new "Try the Galaxy" tool offers iPhone owners the opportunity to virtually experience the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 software, all without leaving their current device. visiting the Try Galaxy website iPhone owners are prompted to “install” a web app by adding the website to their home screen.

Once that's done, the web app gives users a "Samsung Galaxy Snippet" simulating Samsung's OneUI 5.1A skin on Android 13. From there, there's a short navigation tutorial, and everything works the same as it does on a Samsung device. , but it is noticeably slower, probably because it only works via the web.

Experiences you can try include Samsung's and Google's flagship apps, including Google Messages. Also, Samsung will send you some fake messages while you are using the demo to show other device features like the camera and Object Eraser, a tool that can remove objects from a photo like Google's Magic Eraser.

There are also Samsung Health demo experiences, Smart Switch (for transferring data from another phone), Samsung's Kids Mode, and more. In the Settings menu, Samsung highlights Google's Material You wallpaper and theme, as well as highlighting Android's security and privacy settings.

This demo alone probably won't convince anyone when transitioning from an iPhone to a Galaxy device, but it's a good option to see what you might be missing without leaving your current device.
