Samsung's Ultimate Test Drive is already out of units

22 August, 2015
Yesterday's offer of a one month free test on a new Samsung device saw so much interest that test units are out of stock.

    Why apple not launch iphones at every 6months gap ?
    I will tell ,because they are dependent on others to coppy technology . The proof is here samsung has filedd almost double Patents then apple for there s and note devices .

      Can you explain this , when S6 edge were in huge denand as per samsung , but it also got massive price cut proves that indeed there were no demand for S6 edge too.

        The day i sold my 5s was the day i realised how dam limited IOS actually is. No more Apple.

                Anonymononimoustard, 23 Aug 2015Oh so thats what they're doing well on the TOP listers. ... moreMy personal phone is iPhone 6 and if i want i can buy S6 or note.
                Even i get it for free i won't be using them.

                Samsung tries so many tricks to fanboys/foolboys , like 20 million preorders for S6 and the actual result, we know it now.
                This is another tactic like they got overwhelming response for the test drive.
                And the guy who claimed that he already got his Test phone is clear lie. Announced on thursday and the guy got his test drive device on friday/saturday.. Lols

                    Not surprising. I love my note 4, but if apple would have a similar campaign for their next generation iphone, i would certainly try it out.

                      So what if they have test units?
                      Just about any other company and their competitors have done these kind of marketing.

                      DONT HATE if you cant get one.

                      And oh about their loyal fan base? they're not undermining them
                      but they're trying to expand it.

                      GOOD DAY TO ALL HATERS and TROLLS

                        And no Apple sheep will jump ship. They will just use it for a month, like yanks do, then return it.
                        Stupid move by Samsung, but what to expect when they skipped Europe with the Note. Don't get their focus on the yanks which always prefered Apple. Just completly deluded marketing,

But I'm leaning towards stupidity. For they will lose the majority of their fanbase just for some newly converted iPhone owners.

                              Got to hand it to Samsung. They are looking desperate to the point that now they are trying to attract iPhone users while disregarding their own fan base. I got my Note 5 and loving the device but I believe I'll be one of the few previous Note users to feel this way.
                              Too many compromises which so little to gain. I give Samsung credit for building a more premium device which fits much more comfortable in one hand use but overall the lack of removable storage and battery, plus the lack of an IR blaster is going to put off many previous Samsung Note fans.

                                  I am not sure with Samsung's timing here.
                                  Before the 30-day trial period ends, Apple will have launched their newest iPhones (early Sep, right?). I think those who participate in this test drive will have a harder time choosing the Note 5 at the the end of their test drive when the 6S Plus is available simultaneously.
                                  It could be the other way around though.
