When Samsung isn’t busy developing the world’s greatest smartphones and other electronics, it’s playing in the snow, literally. The South Korean tech company recently published a promo video showing the start-to-finish construction of a snowman. But this isn’t your typical Frosty The Snowman; Samsung’s version is contains three Galaxy S5 units: two for the eyes and one for the heart. Granted, Samsung’s attempt to build a snowman is somewhat creepy. With digital eyes and a digital heart, it doesn’t exactly look appealing. Then again, this video was likely shot for promotional purposes, which it succeeded it. “To celebrate the Christmas spirit, we thought it would be fun to bring some life into a snowman and give it a pair of moving eyes and a beating heart. Initially, we were going to use some Christmas magic, but we just decided to the water (or snow) resistant Galaxy S5 to do it. So… do you want to build a (digital) snowman? Great, because we’ve recorded the whole process. Check it out,” wrote Samsung on its website. You might be wondering how in the world Samsung was able to build a snowman using three Galaxy S5 units. After all, wouldn’t the snow and…

Samsung is known for releasing multiple versions, or variants, of its flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S5 Mini is one such variant that features a smaller body and slimmed-down specs. But many people are criticizing Samsung for its uninspired approach to the Galaxy S5 Mini. If you’re thinking about ordering this device, you should read the following and then make your decision. Let’s first talk about the Galaxy S5 Mini’s body, as this is typically a major selling point among consumers. The original Galaxy S5 features a 5.1″ Super AMOLED display with 432 ppi pixel density, whereas the Galaxy S5 Mini is just slightly smaller at 4.5″ with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and 326 ppi pixel density. So even though it’s technically smaller, the Galaxy S5 Mini is just slightly smaller than the original. This may deter some people from buying it, as many smartphone users prefer smaller displays. Another notable difference between the two devices is the construction. The Galaxy S5 is manufactured with a soft, almost rubber-like plastic that’s comfortable to hold and use. Unfortunately, Samsung opted for a harder form of plastic with the Galaxy S5 Mini. This material looks and feels cheap, which is something that…

Hundreds of thousands of people have dumped buckets of ice water over their heads to raise money for the nerve cell disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Everyone from Jamie Foxx to former U.S. President George Bush have participated in this “chilling” activity, but there’s a new contender who’s amped and ready to take the challenge: Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5. Being the marketing genius that it is, Samsung uploaded a video to its YouTube account last week which shows the Galaxy S5 being splashed with ice water (we presume it’s ice water, at least). During the short 15-second video, a computer voice says “I am the Samsung Galaxy S5. This is my ice bucket challenge. Gosh, this is freezing. I nominate the iPhone 5S, HTC One (M8), and Nokia Lumia 930.” Granted, it’s a short video, but it’s sill quite comical and worth checking out, especially if you’re a fan of the Galaxy S5. Note: no Galaxy S5 devices were harmed during the making of this promotional film. The Galaxy S5 features IP67 dust/water-resistant technology; therefore, it’s able to hold up under the stress of the ice bucket challenge. Samsung really went out of…
