YouTube Superstar Freddie Wong Reaches 5 Million Views with New Video Shot on Samsung Galaxy S II

Since the Los Angeles-based filmmaker/gamer  Freddie "W" Wong released "Gamer Commute" on YouTube this past Saturday, the two-minute clip has garnered nearly 5 million views and 18,000 comments.

Segments of the viral video hit were shot with a Samsung Galaxy  S II, a new smart phone which shoots in 1080p. Some trade reports call it the "iPhone killer". 

The use of the device in Wong's video was engineered by Samsung's digital agency Digitas. 

The phone is not seen in the video and it is not a product placement, the association Samsung comes at the end of the clip in the form of a simple credit: Special Thanks to Samsung for Giving us Galaxy S II phones for filming in 1080p Full HD.

We spoke with Digitas VP Paul Kontonis about the campaign which also includes paid media.

Thanks a good deal for discussing this matter. I concur together with your conclusions. The points that the data stated are all initial hand on real experiences even aid more.
