Check out the new stateside ad for the Samsung Galaxy S5

Now that the calendar reads April 10th, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to be released tomorrow in 150 countries. To help sell its new flagship Android phone in the U.S., Samsung has produced a new ad that shows off some of the features of the phone, such as the 16MP rear-facing snapper, the hear rate sensor, and even the IP67 certification. The latter means that the phone can be submerged in 3.2 feet of water (or 1 meter) for up to 30 minutes and still live to tell the tale. And of course, there is the 5.1 inch Super AMOLED screen with resolution of 1080 x 1920.

Now that the handset is available, expect to see Samsung really start its stateside marketing efforts for the phone. The Korean manufacturer has been spending a ton of money for advertising relative to its revenue, and the company has said that it would dial things down this year. But that is hard to do when competitors are snapping at your heels. Right now, it is the HTC One (M8) providing the competition, and eventually it could be the Sony Xperia Z2, the LG G3 or perhaps even the Motorola Moto X+1.
