After announcing the Galaxy S4 Zoom on Wednesday, Samsung has today posted the handset’s first commercial on YouTube. And even in the hands of a beautiful woman, it still looks like a big plastic brick. Check it out for yourself below.
Samsung has today released a new commercial for the Galaxy S4, highlighting its nifty Smart Pause feature that automatically pauses video playback when you close your eyes. It’s ideal for those who like to watch videos in bed, but frequently fall sleep halfway through them.
Google’s YouTube apps for Android and iOS have helped the company triple advertising sales on mobile in the past six months, the company has said. Mobile ads now contribute an estimated $350 million to YouTube’s revenue, with around a quarter of the site’s 1 billion users accessing videos on smartphones and tablets.
Samsung has revealed another two commercials for the new Galaxy S4, focusing on features that have been integrated into its TouchWiz user interface. One of the clips highlights the smartphone’s Eraser Shot feature, while the other shows off Easy Mode.
Microsoft is desperately trying to persuade Android users to switch to Windows Phone. After airing a new commercial that bashes Samsung Galaxy users earlier this week, the software giant has built a new Android app that wants to make the switch away from Google’s platform a whole lot easier.
Called Switch to Windows Phone, the app scans your Android smartphone to find all the apps you have installed, then makes it super simple to install those apps on your new Windows Phone device — if they’re available there, of course.
It looks like Microsoft has been taking a sneaky peek at Samsung’s guide to marketing. Rather than touting new features or specifications in its latest Windows Phone commercial, the company has taken to bashing the competition instead.
The minute-long clip sees Apple face off against Samsung during a massive wedding brawl as the two companies trade insults over smartphones.
Samsung has published its first three Galaxy S4 commercials on YouTube today, and the company has chosen to focus on TouchWiz features rather than the handset’s hardware. The clip above shows off S Translator, while the two below demonstrate Group Play and Sound Shot.
LG has attempted to overshadow Samsung’s massive Galaxy S IV billboards in Times Square by erecting a few of its own — directly above them. LG’s are bigger, brighter, and higher up, and they mock Samsung’s use of the number 4 in its “be ready 4 the next Galaxy” slogan.
Google is famous for its “open” approach to Android apps and its willingness to allow almost anything to be sold through Google Play. But the company has begun taking a stance against a certain kind of app. Don’t worry, it’s not pulling your favorite porn apps — instead it is ad blockers that Google has decided it doesn’t like.
Amazon prides itself on offering affordable Android tablets, and so it likes to point that out whenever it gets the opportunity to do so. Usually this means taking a swipe at more expensive devices, and it’s Apple’s iPad that’s on the receiving end again in the company’s new commercial.
Focusing on the high-resolution displays in both devices, Amazon suggests that “you may not be able to tell the difference” between them… until you look at the price tags.
