LG Puts Cheeky Ad Up In Times Square, Tries To Overshadow Samsung

Let’s say you’re LG, and your biggest competitor is about to unveil the device that will take the world by storm. What do you do? Make fun of the fact that it isn’t available, of course! Samsung’s “Be ready 4 the next Galaxy” ads are overshadowed by even bigger LG ads stating “LG Optimus G is here 4 you now!” Clever, LG, clever.

Of course, we wish we had the Optimus G Pro here, because the older G is not much competition to the new wave of smartphones (like the Galaxy S IV). But the G is a great device and this is a great advertisement. What do you guys think?

Clever for sure but that probably only pulled like 100 customers away from the GS4. Wasteful money down the drain.

LG products are straight crap. They even managed to mess up the most recent nexus. All the bugs found and shit. I would buy a iPhone over a LG.

 LyricalSwaggbih Great, one less idiot would in our Android community.

 LyricalSwaggbih Protip: Bugs in the Nexus are Google's fault. They make the software. Nexus 7 had similar bugs.
