    Lol? Why is this even a news? Yeah, sure, it's expected that examples are made by the actual device, but for marketing purposes they ALWAYS do mockups or exaggerate things. It's nothing new.

      When Huawei did the same a while back, the haters were quick to attack them.

      Let's hope these haters do the same for Samsung... Oh wait, we already have comments defending this move. Too many hypocrite fanboys here.

      Personally, i didn't had a issue with this then, and i still don't have a issue with this now. This is how modern day marketing works. Nothing shocking or surprising about it.

          There's this thing called "used to simulate the actual feature" that can put on the bottom as a subtitle. Like most car ads and some other promotional videos. Jeez.

          I used to do this with my Nokia Lumia 920 before. Darkening my 2nd photo to simulate the bad quality of a competitor's photo and I put "simulation of other phone's camera" at their respective time when most phones have crappy cameras anyways

              No confidence or desire for their own products, they were even caught tweeting about their phone model, from an iPhone, yet again.

                Facepalm.

                At least it was used only to represent a feature (how Live Focus works) and not the phone's camera quality unlike the last time where it was directly implied (Huasomething)

                  Shocker.
