Extreme Unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy SII at 100mph+

Now then, it’s not every day that you get to see leading mobile device blogger, Chris Davies, strapped into a rally car and thrown around a dirt track as he does his level best to unbox Samsung’s latest device.

The phone in question is the Samsung Galaxy SII running Android.

Some bright spark at (I presume) Samsung decided to ask Chris and the SlashGear TV team to do a bit of a different unboxing. Indeed, the sponsored video explanation email I got earlier reads:

Chris Davies from Slashgear.com unboxes the new Samsung GALAXY SII at top speed in a Rally Car

Heh. I admit I smiled broadly at the mere notion of Chris being on camera. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him appear in any of his unboxing videos apart from the odd limb or reflection — so it was a nice change to see him doing a Jeremy Clarkson.

I was looking forward to some pantwettingly delightful scenes as the car was thrown around the track by the rally driver, however I have to say, Chris did a brilliant job of keeping a straight face and ensuring the facts kept coming.

Here are two favourite quotes from the video:

“It’s also got TouchWiz — OH MY GOD — two-point-zero on it, with Samsung’s customised interface.”

“It’s got full access to the Android Market… WOW WE’RE GOING FAST…”

Super job Mr Davies!
