Samsung lambasted for sexist Galaxy event

[Train]

Im sure I could If given the time or the desire.

oh wait I do have 15 seconds

Instead of portraying stupid negative stereotypes use positive real world examples? Wow that was hard, can I have my 100k advertising fee paid now please?

Name such an example?

Im leaving to go to work. I dont know what the features of that phone are. List me all the features and If I feel like It when I get home Ill make an example.

Personally I think the demonstration fit the feature they were selling perfectly. The "Air gesture" thing is dumb and the only reason you would use that is if you were a girl with one of the issues they brought up "My nails are wet"

Don't know how else they could sell that "feature" because otherwise it's useless

Or if you're using your phone in the cold, or if you want to carefully tap links in browser windows rather than fat finger press and hope it picks the right one, easier control in the car, or if you're hands are dirty from eating/working or whatever, etc.

Dirty fingers yes. Gloves on, yes. Makes it easier to use in the car, NO. WTFever you're talking about in the first sentence about tap links, NO. It's just for scrolling either up/down or left/right.

Women will find themselves in many more situation's and are way more addicted to their phones. They will need the feature most often and Samsung's marketing was smart to realize that.

I remember reading about being able to answer calls with a wave in front of your phone, that seems a lot easier to me in the car. They also said it's like the S Pen. If you've used a note you would realize what I'm saying. When you browse the web you come upon sites that have lots of links very close together. With the S Pen you could hover over the links and make sure you had the right one selected before tapping. I see the same possibility here.

Watched the video just now.

Yeah it was pretty sexist. But more importantly, it was totally awful. Worst. Presentation. Ever. It makes it seem like Samsung is staffed by total fsckin' tools. Whoever came up with that presentation needs to be fired. We already know they have a good ad agency and marketing department, but it's clear the same people weren't involved in the development of this presentation.

Or maybe they just hired Microsoft's marketing department.

I don't know what I'm going to do for my next phone upgrade with everything getting so big. I truly don't see any option's coming out as it looks like all the android phones are going to be huge.

Its smaller than the SGS3.

You hover your finger above the links and it shows an expanded view, you can then pick one.
