Samsung has a big presence during the Oscars, with the vendor rolling out new commercials during the awards show to highlight its latest phones. It's no different this year, as we have a new celebrity-studded commercial that showcases the best features of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
The commercial includes Wesley Snipes, Lil Wayne, Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers, James Harden, and William H. Macy, who uses the Gear VR to present the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in virtual reality, highlighting the major features on offer with both devices.
The vendor also rolled out two other commercials during the Oscars, the first highlighting the low-light shooting capabilities of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and the second touting the water-resistance features.

The commercials during the Oscar's were better than the ones they showed during the Superbowl.

Great commercials. Especially the one with James Hardin and Macy.
Hnnng! Should I pull the trigger on the S7e or wait for the Note 6?
I CAN'T CHOOSE! That S7e is just too damn tempting.
Isn't the S-pen pretty much the only thing that differentiates the two? If you don't think you'll miss it, then make the jump!

Well, I actually love using the S Pen.
And given that the Note 6 is rumored to have more differences than its related S-line model compared with the Note 5, maybe I might wait.
A small loan of a broken G4
Enjoyed all three of those commercials. Countdown to iMore disparaging all of them has begun!
I love Frank Gallagher. He's fantastic

Who's gonna say that's not the best marketing for probably the best overall phone out right now??
Not me.
HTC, get back in the lab!!
Great commercials, love 'em all, very funny! Hateful iTard sheeps must be tearing their hair out with jealousy and crying themselves to sleep right now... hahahaha!
Just glad Decaprio got an oscar

I'm just glad all those actors and actresses were paid millions upon millions to entertain us, and somehow don't feel validation until some group hands them a piece of shiny plastic.
What a waste of programming time.

Jury of peers... some only feel validation after patting each other on the back and throwing the word genius around liberally.

Lol, yeah it was a great opportunity for him to tell us about his climate change views. Meanwhile he jets around the world emitting more CO2 into the atmosphere than the vast majority of the planet's population ever could... typical coke snorting half-brain dead Hollywood liberal! Why we give these vapid celebrities any attention at times is mind boggling...
It would be wise to wait for the reviews. Make sure the bugs are worked out

After years of listening to Jonny Ive try to smooth talk a load of old balls through Apples product video's and those pretentious adverts showing a 3 year old editing photos on their iPad bought by parents who should have known better - THIS is how you advertise your products. Good job man!!

A series showing attributes. Excellent commercials. Very compelling.
Since I have a perfectly functional smartphone, I am also going to patiently await all 2016 flagships and reviews.
Whatever, I'm done with, Samsung no going back.

Understandable. After several years and iterations of cheap quality and bad user experiences it will be difficult to win many back. Nevertheless, this upgrade in build quality, style, and a ton of compelling marketing may help regain lost market share.
Blimey Charlie; two adverts for mobiles and not one of them made me bilious. Well done Samsung, you have sold me your phone.

Oh and before I forget...f#@k a S7 and long live Nexus....:-)

Thanks for your contribution of nothing.
I can't wait to get my Verizon S7 edge whenever they start shipping preorders...probably in April with the way it's going.
I pre-order from T-Mobile and I'm getting mine tomorrow 2/29 :D
Should of pre ordered from Best Buy. Then you also get a free Gear VR, 64GB memory card, and $50 of VR content. And you get it all March 11th.

Why is it shameless?

Or Showtime, but who's keeping track. ;)
Omg I'm so stupid xD. I meant to write that. I must've thought Game of Thrones when I wrote that

William H. Macy plays the main character Frank Gallagher in the show Shameless. Awesome show BTW.

I have a feeling that Samsung is gonna throw all they can into advertising these phones this year.

Uhhh... Thats what they do every year
Hollyweird has turned an awards show into a several hour long product placement commercial
Great.. Taking a poke at other companies in a clever manner while showcasing features of the phone.
