Samsung's new Galaxy S26 series starts at $900 and tops out at $1,300, making it a significant investment for most shoppers. Before committing to one of these premium phones, you can now test the experience using the Try Galaxy website, which simulates the latest One UI 8.5 software on any iPhone or Android device. The web app was just updated to showcase the Galaxy S26's exclusive features.

The Try Galaxy web app works as a progressive web app that you can install on your home screen, giving you a self-contained One UI 8.5 launcher experience. While it can't replicate hardware features like the Galaxy S26 Ultra's Privacy Display, it does an impressive job with software-based tools including Galaxy AI integrations and the new Bixby experience. Think of it as a third-party Android launcher that's been pre-loaded with Samsung's latest software innovations.

You can explore features like Photo Assist, Call Assist, and Health Assist directly through the app. The simulated environment lets you navigate settings and test out tools like the conversational photo-editing feature without any commitment. If you find yourself enjoying the experience, it might be worth visiting a store to try the actual hardware before making your purchase decision.
