Smartphone joined the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Watch the video to find out what Mobile Phone it is

Samsung Galaxy S5 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Who would have thought that only people are dumping themselves in the online craze ice bucket challenge? Guess what, a mobile phone just did this on Friday.

Korean electronics giant Samsung rode on the popularity of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with a new advertisement for their latest smartphone Galaxy S5.

In the 16-second ad, the Galaxy S5 was speaking as the British S-Voice, “I am the Samsung Galaxy S5. This is my ice bucket challenge.” Then the phone drenched with ice-cold water. “Gosh, that's freezing.”

Then nominated its three rivals Apple iPhone S5, HTC One M8 and Nokia Lumia 930. But of course, the joke is that none of those Samsung competitors have water resistant phones.

“The Ice Bucket Challenge provided the perfect opportunity for the brand to do something that was meaningful but also unexpected,” Matt Pye, CCO of Cheil UK, which made the ad, said in a statement, based on International Business Times.

According to Samsung’s tweet, they have also opted to donate money to the British Motor Neurone Disease Association, though the company declined to say how much it was offering.

As of writing this article, the ad garnered more than 3 million views and nearly 21k likes.

Though Apple, HTC and Nokia cannot do the similar stunt for their phones, their bosses have already joined in the challenge. Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella have participated in the icy stunt.
