Samsung is once again trying to woo iPhone loyalists. And this time, it's bringing over the Galaxy experience to your Apple smartphone with a web app.
The best kind of marketing is the one that happens in the hands of an interested person who just might be your next customer. Samsung certainly thinks that way and is trying its best, not just because it’s a sound strategy, but also owing to the fact that arch-rival Apple has mastered the art with its meticulously imagined store experience.
I’ll start with the standard warning. The experience is a tad buggy, and infuriatingly sluggish on some occasions, there are ads disguised as pre-loaded product demos, and you won’t get to enjoy the full One UI 5.1 experience. It’s just a small taste that is limited by what a web app can do . A showcase for Samsung and Google’s best apps At the app level, you get a limited view of in-house apps like Samsung Health, Smart Things, Galaxy Wearable, and Galaxy Store, among others. But the star of the show is the Gallery app, which showcases some of Samsung’s more impressive tricks — such as object remover and image enhancer, among other editing tools.
Yep, Samsung are again desperately hawking the idea that RCS is loaded with features, and it’s Apple that is fiercely guarding its walled garden using the poison pill that is Android’s dreaded “green bubble” in iMessage chats. The attempt is deliberate; Google’s Messages and Meet are the only two third-party app previews available in the Try Galaxy app.
Almost the entirety of the Settings app is locked, but enthusiasts can still get a taste of Android’s Material You theming system. One of those demonstrations is how the UI color palette matches that of the wallpaper, and how the app icons also acquire a uniform matching shade. On an iPhone, you get none of that flexibility. Come on, Apple, flex those design muscles . Thank you!
