Samsung has put out another one of their Apple fan-bashing ads under their growing “Next Big Thing” series of ads. Although much of the teaser video looks very familiar (more on that later), it’s a little different this time. Instead of the usual push of the Galaxy S II’s features — compared to whatever Apple’s “new thing” offers — Samsung will be pushing the Galaxy Note.
If you genuinely laughed at Samsung’s first “next big thing” ad, and snickered at how Samsung kind of forgot all about Siri in their Voice Actions ad, then you might want to check out two more Samsung ads that rags on Apple fans. These two ads (available after the break) basically follow the same theme, showing excited Apple fans lining up and camping (or preparing to line up and camp) outside an Apple store getting “Samsunged” by Galaxy S II owners. We have no idea what getting “Samsunged” actually means or how Apple fans are supposed to be swayed by the ads, but they’re still fun to watch. One ad touts the S II’s turn-by-turn navigation feature, while the other shows off the phone’s 4G support.
Samsung just put out a new ad for the Galaxy S II that touts its built-in Voice Actions feature. It’s also the second one we’ve seen that rags on Apple fans lined up outside an Apple store to follow their “The next big thing is already here” theme. In case you’ve never used an Android phone in the last two years, Voice Actions is the operating system’s built-in voice dictation feature that allows you to type messages using your voice. It looks pretty handy in the way it was used in this scenario, where the iPhone-using dude couldn’t type a message without taking off his gloves. Unfortunately, the ad forgot to take into account that these Apple fans were likely lining up to get an iPhone 4S that comes with a more functional Siri that does the same thing (and more) using voice. Video after the break.
This is a new Rogers ad for the Droid Razr, showing the 7.1mm-slim smartphone being blasted from an air cannon before it rips into an egg and a birthday cake. Now, we’re pretty sure that you could get the same results (blasted egg, ruined cake) with an air-cannoned Nokia 5110, but we’re guessing that the high-speed take is all about the cleanliness of the cut, so we’re going to call “awesome” on this one as long as we’re taking that into account (we also have to admit that we’ll call “awesome” on any video featuring anything shot out of an air-cannon and shown in slow-mo though). Oh, and the Razr was shown to have survived the whole ordeal, so no smartphones were harmed in the shooting of this ad.
