Also does this wallet support cold storage?

I will not advice cold storage on a mobile phone, unlike on computer which you can be able to remove its WiFi card and Bluetooth and also disable its USB port in the BIOS and set a BIOS password to make it unusable.

But Samourai can be used offline and it has a recommended wallet called Sentinel as watch-only for it. Also you can use Electrum as the watch-only.

https://samouraiwallet.com/sentinel

On Samourai, click on you icon at the upper left corner -> settings -> wallet. You will be able to see your legacy, nested segwit and native segwit master public key which you can import into sentinel (provided if your Samourai wallet is offline)

But I will prefer to use cold storage on Electrum on a desktop device instead of a mobile device.

Cold storage is more of a feature of the user that the wallet itself. As long as it's a non custodian wallet, you can implement cold storage on it by keeping the wallet offline or on an airgapped device.

I like Samourai wallet, it is one of the best bitcoin mobile wallets that I have used. It has the necessary things that a bitcoin wallet can have like RBF, coin control, CPFP and able to spend unconfirmed coins. It also has coinjoin called whirlpool. I like the wallet. I want to create another wallet on Samourai which I want to name wallet_2 but I have been unable to do that.

How can I create another wallet with another seed phrase on Samourai wallet?

Never heard of this samourai wallet and I use electrum I have always used electrum wallet if you have used electrum as well in comparison between electrum and samourai which comes out tops in terms of security especially.
The feature where you can spend unconfirmed coin is actually amazing, especially when during period of slow transaction. Also does this wallet support cold storage?

If I am not wrong you can clone any app using app clone and if it's not possible via the default clone app from the device manufacturer then try using ones from the Play Store.

Social media apps are the one that I saw. My phone have a better way which I explained above. With my phone, you can setup many users and each will act individually with different apps, files and contacts. This is better and private than app twin.

The ones I have tried before on app store have ads, I hate ads and it can lead to scam and misuse of my private information. Most apps are free because they are embedded with ads. Who wants to avoid malware should also avoid ads.

I am using Android 13 but the phone is only support app twin for social media sites like Facebook, Twitter...

But the phone is having a better feature in a way that you can have multiple users. With multiple users, you can have another user or more with different contacts, files and others apps included just like new phone. With it I can run Samourai as a new app like a new phone but on the same old phone.

I just ask this question to know how true it is that Samourai is not having a way of creating more than one wallet.

I am aware of the Samourai wallet but never used it, so now only realize they don't support multiple wallet creation like Electrum and other wallets but its a wallet for advanced users and has a lot of privacy features.

Additional fact you can try stealth mode.

When this feature is enabled, the shortcut icon completely disappears from the phones home screen, app lists, recent apps list, or launcher. You could search the entire phone and the Samourai app is nowhere to be found. The only way to access the app is to dial your PIN into the phone pad as if you were dialing a number to call. In doing this, the Samourai app will launch making is accessible to you.

Which phone are you using though? Maybe you can use "Dual apps" and run a new instance of the wallet instead. I tried doing that with other wallets before, and it works fine.

I don't use the wallet anymore but I don't think it's supported. This issue has been opened in 2018 and it's still opened: https://github.com/Samourai-Wallet/samourai-wallet-android/issues/181
