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?

Save up to $1,150 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra today

Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Tablets are great if you're the sort of person who doesn't want to lug around a laptop all the time and finds having a tablet an excellent alternative. If that's the case and you want to use a tablet as a laptop replacement, then you'll want to go for one of the best tablets on the market, such as the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Luckily, there's a pretty substantial Memorial Day offer from Samsung that gives you a straight discount from $950 to $1,200, as well as up to $800 worth of trade-in credit. That means you could potentially get the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for as low as $150, assuming you trade in a high-end tablet, although you're more likely to get half of that if yours is a couple of years old. Still, the original $250 discount plus another $400-$800 can be pretty substantial.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
When we originally reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, our conclusion was that it was a hard tablet to recommend, primarily because it was outrageously expensive, especially since the iPad Pro is cheaper. That said, with the discount and potential trade-in credit, the price isn't so bad, and some of the other excellent features start to stand out, such as the truly massive 14.6-inch screen, which is bigger than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Of course, that does come with its own problem, which is that it's pretty heavy to hold, especially for long periods, although if you use it with a case that has a stand, that issue can be substantially mitigated.
