World, feast your eyes upon the new Galaxy S III, a device that Samsung says draws its inspiration from nature and is intended to give the iPhone 4S a run for its money.
Along with the phone's release at a London event on May 3, Samsung dropped the first commercial for the powerful new device.
Posted on the SamsungTomorrow YouTube channel, the video is a minute long and focuses mostly on the people who will presumably be using the phone -- a couple saying goodbye at the airport, a wedding party, a father and child. The device itself is featured for only a few seconds in the beginning of the ad and for several more at the end. In between is a series of dramatic scenes (complete with dramatic music) mostly showing interactions between one human and another rather than between a person and the Galaxy S III itself.
As the video wraps, it becomes clear why Samsung chose to limit the Galaxy S III's appearance in the commercial and instead explain its abilities with short descriptions like "It understands you," and "Waits till you're asleep" nestled between phone-less scenes. The ad ends thus: "The Samsung Galaxy S III. Designed for humans."
During the ad, we do get a glimpse at one of the device's most exciting new features: Smart Stay, which keeps the device awake as long as you're looking at it. By tracking your eye movement, the Galaxy S III goes to sleep when you've closed your eyes or when you've moved your face away from the screen, rather than shutting off the display when you're not touching it.
