Samsung is set to offer current iPhone users the chance to test drive some of their best handsets for a period of 30 days.

Samsung didn’t name the devices for its Ultimate Test Drive, but it appears the Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 5, and the Galaxy Note 5 Edge are all up for grabs. You won’t swipe your phone when using Samsung Pay – it wouldn’t fit in the slot, obviously – but the phone will fool the reader into thinking that you have.
BlackBerry or Windows Phone users who wouldn’t mind giving them a try: bad luck. With all these impressive specs, the Galaxy Note 5 will be exclusively available for AT&T, which is pretty sad.
Would-be customers can test-drive Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+ or Galaxy S6. You’ll get a Test Drive kit in the mail with the phone of your choice along with an activated SIM card and a guide to get you started.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is a larger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge which was launched in April this year.
Yoo Eui-hyung, an analyst with Dongbu Securities, said, “Chinese manufacturers are rolling out premium smartphones with similar functions for US$300 to 400, so it’s not easy for Samsung to create a major stir with new products”.
As such, it does not have an estimated shipping date so you will have to wait for an indefinite number of days or even weeks before it comes knocking on your door.
The recently launched devices in the market by Samsung are Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ which aren’t just fancy names but are also extremely expensive.

Samsung has already told us that the Note 5 won’t come to Europe based on research it conducted on how popular the S Pen is in Europe. So not only will you be able take your pick of Samsung’s flagship smartphones, but you’ll also be able to test out a competing wireless carrier’s network to see if its coverage suits your needs (if you were thinking about making a switch).
