both did well but in my opinion sony ad more attractive than samsung because sony shows social life like cheering, dancing fans which is very nice that will let people feel as they part of it. samsung ad its long and focus a lot on all features, and using celebrities will attract more and more customer .

really samsung invest a lot but they will get high ROI as ad got54,550,750 views on youtube, this is a very good sign to be the winner

Samsung, apart from all the stratergies applied for marketing, the strong thing with Samsung is that it has very strong presence in the mind of consumers, the best thing I saw practically is that, in India, when a customer enters a mobile shop, he may purchase or not, but the choice to see firstly is Samsung and than others.

Rest, it is always unpredictable to judge the consumer support to any brand, so I do agree with all the answers given by respected members of this forum.

Good Day!!!

I think SONY will get the bigger ROI as they have a larger fan following and has a wide range of gadgets to suit every need. Sony concentrates to cover all the fans around the world whereas SAMSUNG only covers Celebrities only.......

My vote is for SONY
