Samsung has opened a specialized site aimed at tempting iPhone users to switch to its Android-based Samsung Galaxy line Come from Sports betting site VPbet. The Samsung iTest site takes you to a browser-based simulation of the Samsung Galaxy interface.
Opening the site will prompt you to add the browser shortcut to your home screen, which will allow it to go full-screen. From there you can check out some tool tips you get in messages from your sample “generic friends,” browse and swap themes, make a fake phone call, and more. There’s even a Samsung Kids button to simulate the kid-friendly interface.
The Verge reports that there are some Easter eggs buried in the interface too. The Settings menu is said to be simplified “just so our developer could have a lunch break.” There’s also a Fortnite icon in the game launcher, which actually may be a selling point since the game is blocked on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store due to pending litigation.
It’s marketing, naturally, and so the site doesn’t go into any of the potential drawbacks of making the switch to Samsung. But as marketing goes, it’s pretty clever. You can toy around with the features and see how it feels in case you’re looking into a new phone and open to a new operating system.
