Is anyone else getting annoyed at that? They use it for literally every single new release with that stupid guy with a lisp saying it on their commercials.

I got the Note 4. It's awesome. Amazing display and the battery charges incredibly fast.
But they had an ad up in the metro saying "The Next Big Thing is Here" next to an S5. It made no sense to me. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
I actually think Samsung's advertising is bad in general. Nothing about it makes me want to buy their phones. They need a new creative ad agency in my opinion.

Finally someone who shared my sentiments! They've been using that line ever since the Galaxy S3, to the point where I'm wondering if they even have a marketing team. Nothing against Samsung or android phones, I think they're good. But Samsung's commercials are just annoying.
The Instagram-filtered, faux-Clint Mansell-scored, nasally-narrated commercial trend, can't reach a fiery demise soon enough. _________________ -Avenue of the Champions- -RIP Dr Buss- #824
I can't say anything bad about Android or Apple. Both my Nexus 7 2012 and iPhone 4S are still going strong. I just hate Samsung's advertising.
Why do you have two phones? I was going to trade in my S3 for $200, but I realized the phone had too much sentimental value to me. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

As said N7 is a tablet, I got it mainly for e-reading as back then phones weren't as large as they are now so I figured I'd switch to it when something was too small on my phone.
I feel the same about my 4S. Plus, the design is classic and it might be worth much more than $200 in a couple decades

Yeah, I had my S3 from my very first day of college. I thought, that out of all my possessions, that S3 had been the only thing I'd always had with me. I just couldn't do it.
Plus, it can still serve a purpose as a camera for locations I don't want to bring my Note 4 into like the beach, etc. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
It's still less annoying and less frequent than Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon telling us about features of the iPhone that are outdated by two years. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!

Those ads are stupid too, as is the bigger than bigger tagline. But I still find it less cringe inducing than the guy voicing the Samsung commercials, and the repeated tagline for everything since the S3. It doesn't help that they have multiple big releases each year...that's a lot of big things!
I won't get into the feature war. I appreciate that my 400 Geekbench 3 scoring iPhone 4S runs better than my 1300 Geekbench 3 scoring Nexus 7, and I appreciate that I can do way cooler customizable things (like loading ePubs and setting widgets) with my Nexus 7 compared to my iPhone.

Not at all. I think they have a very simple and direct tagline in their ad. They've always marketed "bigger" as better when it came to their phones.
It's pretty simple....should be easy to understand for any Apple fans out there. The ads are really for you.
And yeah, another LG G3 user here. I don't discriminate between vendors, I just go with the best phone for me. This time around it was LG.
