New Samsung Galaxy S III Ad Makes Fun Of Those Queuing Up For iPhone 5 Outside Apple Stores [VIDEO]
Samsung is up to their old tricks
again and have released a new ad on the Samsung Mobile USA YouTube channel,
which, once again attempts to poke fun at those Apple hardware fans who
religiously queue up outside of official retail stores to get their hands on
the latest iPhone. With the iPhone 5 due for an official public release this
coming Friday, Samsung’s marketing departments have taken the opportunity to
have a pop shot at those loyal Apple fans who value the company and their
product so much.
This isn’t the first time Samsung has
used video or print media to poke fun at those consumers who are willing to
spend their valuable time in line waiting for an Apple product. You may
remember that the Korean company attempted to promote their Galaxy S II device
back in November of last year by producing a similar video that made light of
Apple’s customers who wait in line. This latest video is remarkably similar to
their previous effort, but this time focuses on the company’s latest flagship
device, the Galaxy S III.

The video, entitled "The Next Big
Thing is Here Already – The Galaxy S III", follows hot on the heels of
their print ad campaign that stacked the iPhone 5 up against the Galaxy S III
and took a shot at Apple by featuring the tagline "It doesn’t take a genius".
We need to take these ads for what they are and laugh them off, but Samsung
obviously isn’t too happy that the iPhone 5 has smashed early sales records,
forcing Apple’s stock to rise above the $700 mark for the first time.

If you actually decide to fritter away
ninety seconds of your life by watching the new video, then you’ll see Galaxy S
III owners taking advantage of the the built-in Near Field Communication (NFC)
and LTE technologies in the device. It also features one particularly excited
Apple customer claiming that the company should offer some kind of special
promotion for those patrons who have queued five times in a row to get their
hands on the latest Apple hardware.
There’s no denying that the Galaxy S
III is one of the most powerful and capable devices on the market, but with the
iPhone 5 shifting two million units in three days and the Galaxy S III selling
twenty million in three months, the next big thing is indeed here and it’ll be
extremely interesting to see which device takes the title.
