Samsung goes after iPhone users with Galaxy test drive promo
Samsung Electronics is offering U.S. iPhone owners the chance to test its latest Galaxy smartphones for 30 days for $1, as it hopes to make a dent in Apple's dominance of the high end of the market.
The promotion lets iPhone owners choose between the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 edge or the Galaxy S6 edge+ without any obligations with their existing carrier. After the month is up, they can simply return it. Or, if the phone feels right, go ahead and upgrade, Samsung said.
In general, Android has been losing ground to Apple in the high-end segment of the smartphone market since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus where launched last year.
