# Fake Unboxing Videos Samsung Omnia i900 Promo By Noora Abu Eitah | Published 2008-08-21 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fake-unboxing-samsung-omnia-i900-promotional-video References: [technivator.blogspot](http://technivator.blogspot.com/) & [omnia.samsungmobile](http://omnia.samsungmobile.com/) [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-4-promotion) has created a promotional video for the new Samsung Omnia i900 phone to attract new consumers, and to add a touch of glamour to its product. We have featured this phone on Trend Hunter and listed its specs before, which are similar to the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-x-galaxy), such as the GPS radio, 5-megapixel camera and MP4 player. What is really neat about this video, however, is the strategy behind it. Samsung created a fake [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-underdogs) ID (*Technivator*), and shot a video of a man 'unboxing' the Omnia i900. Then, as you see from the video, added the special effects and composited footage to create a realistic-looking 'viral' video. Samsung posted it online, and it naturally spread around. If this was real, then I would have actually thought of buying Samsung's iPhone wannabe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fake Unboxing Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Brands can create compelling unboxing experiences through simulated videos to generate viral content and attract new consumers. - **Promotional Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Businesses can leverage creative promotional videos to showcase their products and add glamour, enhancing consumer interest. - **Viral Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Companies can strategically use viral marketing tactics to generate buzz and increase brand visibility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Technology companies can utilize fake unboxing videos and viral marketing to promote their products and compete with established brands. - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advertising agencies can incorporate innovative promotional videos into their campaigns to engage consumers and differentiate their clients from competitors. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Consumer electronics manufacturers can employ fake unboxing videos and viral marketing to create excitement around new product launches and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone Seating Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-4-promotion.md) - [Space-Themed Flip Phone Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-x-samsung-galaxy-z-flip6.md) - [Horror-Themed Phone Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/join-the-flip-side.md) - [Metaverse Unboxing Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-10-pro-5g.md) - [Branded Holographic Spectacles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-spectacle.md) - [Color-Blasting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-you-beat-the-box.md) - [Satirical Destination Marketing Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switzerland-is-fake.md) - [Gen-Z-Targeted Phone Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-ideas.md) - [Co-Branded Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-x-galaxy.md)
