Samsung's 'iTest' Lets You Try a Galaxy Device on Your iPhone

Does testing out the camera app include the all of the crashes you get to experience? I gave the Galaxy S10 plus a shot because the pictures you could capture were superior to that of an iPhone (at the time). Especially in low-light situations. However, constant crashes of the camera app made it practically unusable, and their only option was to send it in for repair. ☮️ out, back to an iPhone!

Indeed. I'm using a Galaxy S7. The TouchWiz UI is gawd awful.🤮 Every Samsung phone I've used, I've replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher. If Samsung used the default Google launcher, I'd be much, much happier.

Their hardware is pretty good, but the UI makes me not want to get any Samsung until there is a way to root and custom ROM it.

Have you tried one UI? You're talking about software that is years out of date
 
Finally, a useful tool for my iPhone... getting tired of the same "widgets" and boring squercle icons. Too bad they left that black thing on the top.

Oh yes, iPhone! Just let me unzip these docs and I'll show it to you... Oh, wait, I don't have 30 minutes to do this, nevermid, you can just keep the kids 😶

P.S. I have to use an iPhone for my job, but my second phone is a Note 20 ultra. So please don't get too excited, I'm still within my leesh boundaries.
 
I'm not understanding how interacting with a web app using Apples display, sound, touch screen input, color calibrated screen and other Apple interface tech is supposed to allow one to experience Samsung devices.

Talk about misleading the consumer ...

Because phones are just rectangular slabs that have touchscreens, so simulating the interface and apps *is* showing you how an Android phone would work to a decent level.

A year ago I would have agreed with you, I love my ipad pro, trust me, dearly... but my brother has a Samsung Tab S7 and the gap has closed. 120hz refresh rate, same input latency with the s-pen that the apple pencil has... full Krita, and Clip Studio... etc... outside of Procreate I see little justification any longer. But, I'm looking at the two tablets for art alone in this perspective. The S7 really changed the ballgame.

Refresh rate doesn’t mean anything when it still runs a phone OS and apps.
 
One of the better ads from Samsung. At least it's not mocking something about the iPhone that they are about to copy. This one is really smart and creative. May be someone will switch after trying it.
 
Really makes me glad I stuck with iOS. I think this marketing gimmick had the opposite effect they were hoping for...

If these two companies collab, that would be great. Please maintain privacy tho and other security stuff that is on Apple.

FYI apple is no more about privacy than any one else. they claim to be, then hide their shenanigans deep in iOS and MacOS where the mortals can't find it. But its there, don't kid yourself. Lets not forget the great iOS fappening. That was due to iOS insecurity. How about just a little while ago, the ability to break into iphone just by being on the same network....Apple is no better, just their marketing team.

Actually it would be cool if Android could be setup as an app on iOS.. in complete emulation inception.

The hardware of an iPhone is connected much more specifically under iOS than under Android. Thus, iOS can also work more securely and faster. So why should one expect advantages in an emulation? Android will run slowly and bring uncertainty, since many Apple haters might try to corrupt iOS. I'm good with two worlds exist separately. And those who can't decide just have 'real' problems... Left pocket phone: Android buddies, right pocket: iOS friends. 😉

I would have no problem with an "android cloud" experience that ran inside an isolated app or through the web. Think game streaming service, but with a full android suite.
