Samsung Calls iPhone Users 'Wall Huggers' In New Ad [Video]

Samsung has released a new ad for the Galaxy S5 that mocks iPhone users, calling them 'wall huggers'.

That moment when your phone conveniently chooses the most inconvenient time to run low on juice. Switch your Galaxy S 5 to Ultra Power Saving Mode or swap in a fresh spare battery and say goodbye to the wall huggers for good.

Stupid pitterpatter aside, anyone know what normal operating time is on a 5s vs S5?

Saucer of milk to the Samsung cat.. Slagging off competition like this is desperate, shows you have no USP..

so the fact that an iphone 5s charges in a 4th of the time of the s3 does not make a difference(actual fact)?

So technically they're using something that has been introduced on old phones about removable batteries and now advertise about it? Well done, it only took them several years.

What about getting your phone stolen and the thief throws the battery down a gutter or drain. How screwed are you now?

For me only my friends that have an s3 s4 s5 or note ask me if they can charge their phone in my car when I give them rides. My 5S usually last the entire day and I use a lot of data. So not sure how this ad is at all relevant. Samsung just has no shame and hits low even if there isn't anything there to hit.

I've heard mostly bad things about the iPhones' battery. My sister has the 4s, and her battery doesn't hold much of a charge anymore. Neither does my friends' iPhone 5. When I had my Galaxy S3, I didn't have a problem with battery life. Even if I did, I could just swap it out for a new one.

Instant battery life to 100% but for those, they'll keep throwing money on batteries everytime they run out instead of charging simply by the plug. Either saving money but average charge rate or run out of battery and buy another and repeats.

I think the South Korean Company should be more concerned about what the North has up its sleaves for them and be careful not to get blow away!! Don't worry about iphone users we are doing just fine.

Best of both worlds? I have jailbreak iPhone 5 with free hot spot. Waiting for i6. Also, Galaxy Note 3 which is great for movies and taking pictures Waiting for the note 4. Maybe pull the trigger on the Fire after I can use one. I have prime with great access.

I had S3 and S4, seriously, i don't want to go back! Why should i have to carry an extra battery all the time and that's exactly what i had to do because it doesn't last half a day! If Samsung is doing so well why are they still making kiddish adverts?
