Samsung cleverly places Galaxy S5 Ultra Power Saving Mode ads in select US airports

While the ads don’t mention the iPhone at all, they’re positioned right next to power outlets, reading: "The Samsung Galaxy S5 with Ultra Power Saving Mode. So you can be anywhere but here." At the moment, such ads can be found only in JFK, O’Hare (Chicago), and Chicago Midway. According to Android Central, Samsung apparently plans to spread the campaign to other airports.
In case you haven’t seen the wall huggers commercial, it’s embedded at the end of the slideshow below, after some photos of Samsung’s Ultra Power Saving Mode ads.

Marketing IS NOTHING without having something great to advertise.
And Samsung have plenty.

I don't hate Samsung, I just hate some of the close-minded idiots that follow them that act like jerks towards any other device on the market if it doesn't have SAMSUNG written on it. This was a smart marketing move by Samsung and I like it.

I mean like people who trash talk phones when they haven't even used the phones / operating system, but I guess you could call them "fans" I guess

Because this is a Samsung article, friend. Not to mention I said I don't hate Samsung, but I do hate some of the ignorant fans of Samsung. I'm not going to talk about Nokia fans on a Samsung article. =)

Depends, do you go around to different brand articles and call people haters when they praise their marketing? Maybe you should just reread the whole conversation and let me know where I said I hate all Samsung fans. Have a nice day, my friend. :)

I'm no samsung fan but everyone including samsung haters know they're awesome, if not the best with their marketing strategy/ads.
And you wrote "Finally Samsung has some good marketing skills".
Sure....you don't hate Samsung or all of their "fans"....
I'll sleep good tonight hope you do the same, my friend :)

I would rather carry an external battery aka power bank. 20-30 dollars, then you're free to roam the duty free shop. Regardless what phone i am using. I guess the "lamb chop" just have too thick of skull.

Same when I think I might need it.
Bonus is it charges as fast as a higher output tablet charger would.
We ain't common enough for that to make sense.

You do know that S5 lets you to have spare battery in the pocket or in the hand bag, too. No need of extra bulk on the phone.

That's the point we're conveying, no real reason for wall huggers.

Floors me than people go the airport without a fully charged phone to begin with. It took that commercial for me to even realize what people were doing. I just figured that people thought the boarding areas were too crowded lol.

I don't know how anyone's a wallhugger I get a full day of use out of my iPhone and I'm totally cool with that. I'm up 18 hours a day and it last longer than that usually.

not enough FB friends may be, or no followers on instagram. Or may be one's life is too boring to be on twitter.
