Forums - Movies & TV - James Bond rejected both Sony and Samsung smartphones in Spectre.

Bond wouldn’t carry Android, Daniel Craig says, declines $50M product placement

"That included not giving Bond a smartphone, rejecting offers from both Sony and Samsung made earlier in the year. Sony offered $5 million for Bond to carry the phone, with an $18 million bid to be the exclusive vendor. Samsung offered the same $5 million deal for Bond, but beefed the total payment to $50 million. Both offers were rejected by Bond actor Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes, after judging the phones to be too lackluster for Bond."

One juicy detail from the Sony launch was that Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes both disagreed with Bond using an Xperia smartphon. Many found this funny since Sony is a producer on Spectre but it turns out Bond really dislikes Android phones altogether. Can anyone who has seen the film confirm this. Spectre does not come out here until December.

That's kind of stupid, to be honest, unless they go with some kind of custom "Secret Service" phone.



Must be an Apple fanboy.

Seriously, is he carrying an iPhone? Q Branch would be looked down on by techies forever if he is.



Probably because Samsung 6s wasn't available at the time of filming and he was paid to use Galaxy 5s which looks like a horrendous cheap toy.

Poor SONY mobile division. Maybe Bond prefer have a PS4 rather then SONY Experia.



Obviously they're going to pick the iPhone.



He's got to buy British surely......which means not having a smartphone at all. Cos Britain doesn't manufacture any themselves...



im starting to dislike daniel craig now



The superior choice is clearly the moto x
