Samsung wants iPhone users to test drive its new phones

Samsung is getting aggressive in its fight for market share as the announcements of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus loom. In an attempt to win some iPhone users over in the US, the company is offering customers a chance to ‘test drive' one of Samsung's new Galaxy devices for 30 days, for just $1.

The new promotion specifically targets Apple users, so you can only actually sign up if you currently own an iPhone. In exchange for $1, Samsung will let iPhone users try out their choice of Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ or even the Galaxy Note 5, on a carrier of their choice, with an activated SIM and data plan.

Essentially, Samsung wants to give you the full experience for a month. Obviously for security reasons, anyone that fails to return their smartphone will be slapped with a bill for the full retail cost of the phone. Presumably similar rules apply to those that break their handsets.

This isn't the first time Samsung has tried this, it ran a similar promotion last year, though you had to walk in to a store to pick up a device, rather than doing everything through the mail. Either way, this is a pretty bold move on Samsung's part. You can sign up for the test drive promo, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Samsung's Galaxy line up have been declining in sales over the last couple of years, so seeing the company get so aggressive with its promotions isn't too surprising. I do wonder how many people will choose to do this though and how many of them will actually stick with Samsung after.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.

    1. 90% boyz and males buy iphone just to impress and get hot chicks.
    2. 98% girls and females buy iphone to impress a male who already hv an iphone or rich one.

  3. Lol, shut up.

  4. I am not sure about the 90% statistics he sighted but in 3rd world countries I worked, he is absolutely spot on. From Asia to South America, girls would think you have $$ if you whipped out an iPhone and since a lot of them are poor, they don’t really care who they are with as long as the guy takes care of her since she is poor and it’s her way out of poverty. It works just the same or even better with luxury cars. In North America when almost anyone can afford an iPhone though, it has no value in getting chicks.
