Samsung Galaxy S II gets first, beige commercial [video]

Samsung is starting to advertise its new flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S II. In its first commercial spot, the Galaxy S II’s screen is portrayed as being so realistic, you are compelled to drown it in a tank of water… or something like that. The twenty-one second spot pimps the phone’s Super AMOLED Plus prowess, albeit in a rather boring fashion. Regardless, if you’re interested in seeing the G-rated commercial it’s waiting for you after the break.

      Why couldn’t they have written in the little girl’s mom/dad/older sibling run in and stop her before the phone hit the water? Are actors THAT expensive??

    This is a very odd way to advertise an electronic device.

    The phone doesn’t fizzle, the girl isn’t shocked…. and yet they have this huge “windows 7 esque” styled text saying the phone isn’t waterproof…

    Wow! Who green lighted this? I understand fine print in commericals like “dramaticized” or “screen actions simulated” but if you have to put in giant letters ‘do not do this with your phone’ you probably shouldn’t put out the commercial. lol

      Any advertising and marketing is better than any apple advertising and marketing. I mean, have you seen a company worse at marketing than apple? You’re right dear fellow goofan (aka apple hater)…

        Apple is usually very good at marketing but their latest campaign is just… terrible. It’s shamelessly deceitful and smug to a fault.

        I’m not a “goofan”. You seem to have a bad case of “douche”. You should get it checked.

        I think there’s a cream for that available at Starbucks

        Goofan,

        I am a psychology student. Could I perhaps study/interview you. It would be very helpful for a paper about delusional and insane people on the internet.

    I don’t see nobody complaining how samsung lies, and that this little girl is not actually a real world customer? I quess this means this is legit?

      In the minds of us goofans (aka apple haters) no company associated with google lies and if they do, we are sure they are justified. Of course as opposed to apple who lies and lies and lies, but we don’t consider their lies justified because they are not googles friend.

  • Googoobajoo

    Geez kid, not only are you dropping your parent’s phone into the fish bowl, you’re also trying to put a Saltwater fish in with freshwater fish. Silly Girl.

  • Matthew

    that was a stupid commercial, “really the phone is not waterproof” omg i didn’t know that until the bold print said it was not waterproof….so stupid, good one samsung marketing.

  • Andrew

    This is an advertisement. I’m sorry, but in my vocabulary I call this a piece of dung. What a pointless article.

    Don’t make a commercial with your device in water if its not water-proof
