14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has launched a new commercial for its latest flagship, the Galaxy Note 7. In order to promote its products, the South Korean giant has featured lots of celebrities in its ads, including Lil Wayne, Wesley Snipes, and even William H. Macy. The latest Samsung commercial for the Galaxy Note 7 is a collaboration with Christoph Waltz, and in our opinion, it's one of the best yet.
Austrian-German actor Christoph Waltz is famous for multiple top-rated movies, including Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained." The video starts with the idea that Americans are always "busy, busy, busy." Waltz goes ahead and explores the reasons Americans seem to always multitask, while being placed in a number of settings with the Note 7 on full display.
He then lists all of the country's greatest achievements throughout history, while gradually adopting an American lifestyle. Waltz is shown in front of his house with the Note 7 in his hand and the American flag in the background.
The ad focuses the many features on the Galaxy Note 7
The commercial shouldn't be taken seriously since it was written in a humorous and exaggerated manner. The ad highlights all the major features found on the Galaxy Note 7, including its water resistance, enhanced S Pen, and iris scanner.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 comes with much more than that. The smartphone thus packs an octa-core Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 processor, depending on the region, and it also has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with the option to expand to 256GB. The device also has a 12MP rear camera with phase detection and a 5MP front unit with auto HDR.
It's the first smartphone to come with HDR video playback, and it's the first Note to have an iris scanner. In addition, it has a 3,500mAh battery and runs Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 with the option to upgrade to 7.0 Nougat when available. Pre-orders are already live, with the phone expected to arrive on shelves in the US on August 19.
