New GALAXY S III TV Commercial for the London 2012 Olympic Games

Samsung is supporting its Olympic Games campaign with a TV commercial created to amplify the GALAXY S III’s role in the Olympic Games. Few can build anticipation, buzz and excitement quite like David Beckham, and therefore casting him to launch the commercial was the perfect choice.

The TV commercial will be aired starting July 16^th in more than 20 countries including UK, France and China.

Mobile Applications for the Olympic Games

Samsung introduces “Samsung: Take Part 2012”, a new Android Application designed to bring consumers closer to the London 2012 Olympic Games. The app allows users to play 3D and Augmented Reality (AR) sport games, and challenge their Facebook friends in each of the events. Users will be able to compete for the top position in the global leader board, and help earn medals for their country which will be displayed in the app and on Samsung Mobile’s Facebook page. Also, the app provides a variety of Olympic Games content, allowing users to take virtual 360° interactive 3D tours of the Olympic Stadium and other official venues, test their knowledge with polls and trivia, and keep up with the latest news about the Olympic Games.

In addition, those who are planning to visit London this summer can receive top recommendations for essential places to see using Visit Britain’s “Best of Britain” App, including David Beckham’s Top 10 personal highlights.

Both “Samsung: Take Part 2012” and “Best of Britain” applications are available for download at Google Play Store and Samsung Apps.
