Not feeling confident you’ll win a Galaxy S III in Globe’s Facebook contest?

Well, let’s turn that frown upside down by giving you another contest you can join where Samsung’s Superphone is the grand prize too. And just like Globe’s Facebook promo, five Samsung Galaxy S III smartphones are up for grabs here.

Just a fair warning, though – this one entails more work. You’ll have to download an app (get it here), search for Galaxy S III logos both online and offline (i.e. print ads, posters, billboards, etc.), scan it using the app you downloaded, and watch the video that’ll pop up after each successful scan. Once you’ve done all that, you then earn for yourself one raffle entry. Yep, all that for just one entry!

The good thing here, however, is you can earn as much as 20 entries per day. So do it religiously and find 20 logos everyday, beginning today, until the end of the promo, July 31, you’d end up with 100 raffle entries, thus increasing your chances of bagging one of the five Galaxy S III smartphones at stake.

Just hurry, ‘cause you’ve got 5 days left to do your hunting.

Full contest mechanics in the press release below:

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The excitingly intuitive Samsung GALAXY S III smart phone, the latest technological innovation from global consumer electronics giant Samsung, challenges tech enthusiasts and gadget lovers everywhere to re-evaluate the way technology enhances and enriches their lives with its unique, user-centric “designed for humans” philosophy. It’s a phone so intelligent and intuitive, it understands what users want to do, making connecting, sharing, and living as seamless and effortless as possible, reshaping the way they see the reality of cutting-edge technology.

Now, Samsung further invites Android operating system (OS) users everywhere to see reality in an even richer new way through its first-ever Augmented Reality (AR) scavenger hunt. Aptly named “The Samsung GALAXY S III Logo Hunt: Catch It, It’s Yours,” participants have the chance to win their very own Samsung GALAXY S III by simply downloading a free app, then hunting down and scanning GALAXY S III logos from just about anywhere in the environment, be it from a billboard, a print ad, a poster, or even from the Internet.

Joining the GALAXY S III logo hunt is simple, exciting, and thoroughly innovative.

1. Download the Video AR app onto your Android-powered device for free from the Google Play Store.
2. Register and log in via one’s Facebook account, or create a dedicated new account for the contest within the app itself.
3. Search for the GALAXY S III logo anywhere – print ads, billboards, the Internet, posters, et cetera – and scan it in using the app.
4. Watch the exciting GALAXY S III video that pops up after each successful scan to earn ONE (1) raffle entry.

This super-smart, super-intelligent device changes the way people interact with technology. With such intuitive features as Direct Call, for example, simply raising one’s GALAXY S III to one’s ear immediately calls the sender of an SMS. Another innovative feature called Smart Stay allows the phone to establish eye contact, letting it determine whether or not to dim its screen. S Beam allows large multimedia files to be shared in a flash just by tapping two GALAXY S III smart phones back-to-back, while activating Burst Shot on the ultra-crisp 8-megapixel camera allows you to capture up to 20 consecutive photos at an incredible 6 seconds. Pop Up Play is another revolutionary feature, allowing picture-in-picture viewing of videos, even as you text, surf, email, or play games. Truly, Samsung GALAXY S III has revolutionized the way gadgets are seen, and taught users that the best way to enjoy technology is to just allow it to fit seamlessly and intuitively into one’s life.See a richer reality, reinvent how technology fits into your life, and embrace the way the Samsung GALAXY S III will not just be “designed for humans,” but designed to be won by you.
