Try Galaxy: This is how quickly the app turns your iPhone into a Samsung
Samsung has programmed the application so that you, as an iPhone user, can try out some of the Galaxy S23’s functions directly on your smartphone. You don’t have to download or install an app or register anywhere.
To use the application, all you have to do is save “Try Galaxy” as a bookmark on your home screen. To do this, you scan one QR code with your phone camera. After that, a website will open.
From there, click on “Share” and then scroll down until you get to the “Add to Home Screen” option and select it. The iPhone will then ask you again to give your consent. If you agree, a new app icon will appear on your home screen.
Now, when you tap on it, a text will first open on your screen, which will greet you with the words “You’re about to get a little taste of the Samsung Galaxy without switching phones” on the “other side”.
Try Galaxy: These functions are available to you
Anyone expecting the complete iPhone to actually turn into an Android cell phone will be disappointed. “Try Galaxy” is exclusively a simulation of Samsung’s One UI 5.1 on the Galaxy S23 series and the Z Flip4 and the Z Fold4.
This app is solely intended to simulate the One UI 5.1 experience. When you run the application, you’re not actually accessing any actual apps or your iPhone’s features or hardware.
However, “Try Galaxy” gives you the opportunity to find various apps such as phone, SMS, camera or settings. Nevertheless, it is important to know that the simulation only serves to present the model functions. When you click on the various applications, short explanations open up to advertise the Samsung model.
Conclusion: message tones despite vibration mode
All in all, “Try Galaxy” offers iPhone users an entertaining excursion into the world of Samsung – especially because the company itself programmed the application in such a way that funny messages and hints pop up again and again.
What is a bit annoying though: As soon as you use the application on the iPhone, you get several notifications, all of which are announced with the typical Samsung triad tone – even if the iPhone is in vibration mode. Also in these messages the interface explains some functions.
People who actually find ringtones rather unpleasant might be bothered by this feature. Otherwise, the UI 5.1 simulation is a nice insight into the world of Samsung and a successful PR campaign.
