The Samsung Galaxy S Ad Plays on the iPhone 4 Reception Problem

The Samsung Galaxy S ad takes a stab at the Apple Antennagate issue in their latest print. Featuring a reception bar symbol in place of the two letter “L"s in the word “Hello,” Samsung is stating that their new phone allows for better reception than advertised and seen by their Apple counterpart.

Considering how the Apple Antennagate issue hasn’t been completely resolved, this Samsung Galaxy S ad may manage to turn a few away from the iPhone 4 craze.
