In an attempt to attract iPhone users, Samsung has launched
a new website “iTest”, which is going to let iPhone users experience the world
of Android through a web app. This can be done by simply adding iTest’s web app
to your iPhone’s home screen from the website.
“You’re about to get a little taste of Samsung, without
changing phones. We can’t replicate every function, but you should quickly see
that there’s nothing daunting about switching to the other side,” Samsung says
about iTest.
Even though like how Samsung said, not every Android function could be replicated, the experience is still quite impressive as it accurately replicates the Android and Samsung Galaxy experience.
As part of this unique experience, you can browse the Galaxy
Store, change themes, explore the Samsung Camera app, among many other options.
One clever incorporation in this experience is the banner image of the Galaxy
Store, which displays Fortnite’s ad, the game that Apple has removed from its
App Store.
The iTest experience also includes simulated text
notifications and phone calls, so you can try a variety of ways to communicate with family and
friends. Samsung has also made sure to promote its Galaxy products through this
web app, like the Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Watch3, and Galaxy Buds Live.
iTest is currently being promoted in New Zealand only, although
the app is available to use all over the world and is expected to be soon
advertised by Samsung via a worldwide marketing campaign.
