Microsoft takes down Siri with Cortana in its new Windows Phone 8.1 commercial

Microsoft shows a simple Siri vs. Cortana in its latest Windows Phone 8.1 commercial.  It compares the iPhone 5S  with Siri and the Lumia 635 with Cortana and shows how Cortana is much more capable than Siri as Cortana handles reminders -both people based and location based -  and gives traffic updates while Siri stays behind unable to do such tasks.

The commercial ends with Siri admitting “Now, that’s a smartphone” . While it slightly looks odd while Microsoft tries to compare iPhone 5s with Lumia 635, Microsoft focuses on pitting Siri against Cortana. Enjoy the video!
