Latest Galaxy S3 commercial promotes a new way to share your sex tape

A couple of new Samsung Galaxy S3 commercials were released last week, adding to the series of ads that highlighted the smartphone’s S-Beam feature. From the two that I’ve seen so far, both promote a sort of sexy couple’s vibe, which is interesting, funny, and a little awkward. The first commercial shows one couple in the guy’s living room on their presumably first (few) date(s). As he searches for music to set the mood right, he ends up blasting Spice Girls on full volume. Good thing for the girl though, as she simply smiles and disregards the questionable nature of it all by giving him her sexy playlist. She came prepared to get down!

In the second commercial, however, things get a little more blatant. It features a family sending off Poppa Bear as he heads on a work trip before the two daughters claim they’ve made him a video to watch on the flight. Then mom then gets in on the action, noting that she, too, made a video… “but [he] probably shouldn’t watch it on the plane.” Naughty! That’s what technology is all about, and it’s an interesting way for Samsung to show the infinite possibilities from the S3.

If it’s anything Samsung Galaxy S3 commercials have been able to do, it’s promoting the heck out of its S-Beam feature that the iPhone 5 doesn’t have. It also focuses on viral, funny commercials that’ll keep people talking about the product regardless of whether consumers are looking to buy a new phone. I’m not one to judge on whether married couples should share sexy videos with each other on their smartphones (let’s hope the husband doesn’t lose that S3 on the business trip) but these slew of new S3 commercials sure are better than seeing the iPhone 5 line get made fun of long after the line died down. Perhaps inconspicuous sex sells just as well?

Watch the commercial below and tell us what you think. Do you prefer Samsung’s silly ads or Apple’s sleek and star-studded commercials?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with a free S Pen is down to $199

There are tablet deals that slash the prices of devices that are designed to meet the requirements of creative professionals, but you can also take advantage of offers for tablets that are designed for simpler purposes. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a great example of the latter, and it's on sale from Walmart with a $150 discount that pulls its price down to a very affordable $199 from $349. It's not going to stay this cheap for long though, so if you're interested in this bargain you're going to have to complete your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is now available, but the 2022 release of the tablet, which is the one that's discounted on Walmart, remains a worthwhile purchase today as long as you manage your expectations. It's not going to challenge the best tablets in terms of performance as it only offers 4GB of RAM, but it's going to be more than enough for daily activities such as browsing the internet, catching up on social media, and watching streaming shows. The tablet only comes with 64GB of storage, but you can use a microSD card for up to 1TB of additional space.

Samsung has a new (and cheaper) way to buy the Galaxy S23

While the Galaxy S24 is Samsung's latest and greatest phone, it’s a mostly iterative upgrade from the Galaxy S23. If you want to save money, you may have been thinking about purchasing a Galaxy S23 instead. Now, you can save even more because Samsung is adding the Galaxy S23 series to its Certified Re-Newed program.

With Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed program, Samsung extends the usable life of its most popular devices by refurbishing them. Phones sold through the Certified Re-Newed program undergo extensive testing, use genuine parts, and are assembled by Samsung engineers.
