Each phone was dropped on concrete floor in three different orientations, rear, side and lastly front. Guess what? The Samsung Galaxy SIII doesn't even last the final test which is front drop test, it already cracked after suffered side drop test.

Why you have to queue when the big thing is already here. A message passed out to those people who queue for the iPhone 4S indirectly although they didn't mentioned Apple.



The messages passed down are mean on some of the conversation from the video;

The battery look sketchy
It look the same, how people know I've upgraded
I can't never get a Samsung, I'm creative
Why don't you guys just get 4G phone?

Not sure this ad is from Samsung or some Samsung GS II fans that made this up just like the College Humors.

After all it's fun to watch :)
