In the video, the person unboxing the smartphone is wearing submersible head gear that allows him to speak about the unboxing as well as breath normally during the video shoot. While covering the phone’s most interesting features, the cardboard box and paper instructions are seen floating away. However, the plug and other accessories in the box remained submerged on the unboxing table.
The narrator of the video was able to successfully power up the phone and jump directly into camera mode to take a short video of the other members of the Carphone Warehouse production team. In addition, he snapped a couple photos with the phone, a still of one of the people under the pool with him as well as an underwater selfie. Both photos were relatively sharp and clear, more so than the sample video.
This isn’t the only creative unboxing video that’s been making the rounds on social networks. Earlier this month, the Blue Man Group released an unboxing video of the iPhone 6. However, the comedic twist of the video was that the group continued to repair the box after trying to open it with a knife, power saw, hand saw and drill. The ridiculous restoration items included duct tape, Play-Doh, fuzzy fabric, green tape, Band-aids, cellophane, wrapping paper and glitter.
