Google and Samsung teamed up to highlight their creations in an ad released in Times Square last Sunday (11). The stars of the promotional content displayed on an anamorphic screen in one of the most famous areas of New York City, in the United States, were the Galaxy Z Flip 4, the Assistant, YouTube Music and the rapper Ludacris.
The ad shows a dog trying to capture a selfie using a cell phone that, coincidentally, resembles an iPhone. The American rapper and actor’s avatar appears with a Galaxy Z Flip 4, highlighting the possibilities of taking pictures without using your hands – or paws – when using the Assistant. Just say “Ok Google, take a selfie”.

When performing this voice command, the cell phone opens the camera application and takes a picture with the front lens. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has the differential of remaining with the camera suspended when it is bent at a right angle of 90º, therefore, it does not need a support. Samsung calls this format “Flex Mode”.
Assistant also has the ability to play a song on your smartphone. By saying “Ok Google, play ‘Stand Up’ by Ludacris”, the operating system opens the user’s default music streaming application and starts playing the desired sound. In the announcement, big tech clearly preferred to highlight YouTube Music.
The exhibition ends with the catchphrase: “The new way to take a selfie. Simple as that”, in free translation. This is yet another of the collection of advertisements made by Samsung that put the Galaxy Z Flip 4 above the competition — especially from Apple.
