Ellen's Using an iPhone Backstage, Not the 'Samsung Selfie' Phone
Ellen used a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to take her selfies for the television cameras.

Ellen's been on her phone quite a bit tonight, particularly for a selfie that was taken with a big group of A-listers.

The image, which she encouraged to be retweeted, gave her Samsung phone a nice bit of screen time. But it looks like she's on an iPhone for her personal account.

Someone like Ellen could certainly have a need for multiple phones, but the switch begs the question: did Samsung just pull off one of the biggest and boldest product placements of all time?
