The app does this via a simple but effective split view: it takes half of the Z Fold screen and puts it on your first iPhone, and then it takes the second half and puts that on the other. The interface is Samsung’s One UI 5.1.1, and it comes with all the features you’d expect from the real thing including Samsung’s health and fitness app, Quick Share and the Galaxy Fold’s Flex mode, which enables you to take selfies and other snaps from unusual angles.
Is the Try Galaxy app’s folding phone option a gimmick?
It’s similar to a tablet experience, as you’d expect, but it’s also different from that: the double display is more square and still smaller than, say, the averageiPad. And that means it’s a slightly different user experience that’s definitely more phone than tablet.
For Samsung, the goal here is to make you think “wow! I must have a folding Samsung phone!”, although the gap between the two halves means you don’t get the same seamless display as you do on the real thing. For me, it made me want a folding iPhone a little bit more.
