Well,Drama Archives as far as advertisements go, this one is certainly unique.

Samsung's "Try Galaxy" iPhone experience (I hesitate to call it an app because it's just a Safari page you pin to your home screen) has been updated with new features meant to showcase the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 foldables. In a blog post, Samsung made it seem like you can simulate the unique features from its two recent foldable phones using an iPhone.

In practice, it's a little less interesting than that.

Once you get "Try Galaxy" working on your iPhone, it shows you a Samsung Galaxy UI where every button serves to advertise Samsung products to you. For instance, opening the "camera app" plays a bunch of videos showing you how photography works on Samsung's foldables, rather than really letting you try anything out. That's fine, but it's not really a demo in any meaningful sense.

The one thing that doesseem interesting was also out of my reach at the time of writing. You can connect two iPhones together to create a facsimile of a Z Fold 5, though it seems like all that does is show you video demonstrations of what using a foldable is like. Unfortunately, I didn't have another iPhone on hand, so I got this bummer of an error message instead.
