Nokia and HTC have already started poking fun over Samsung's latest Galaxy S5 release
By Deepanshu Kumar on February 26th, 2014
Not even a day has passed after the launch of Samsung's galaxy S5 and the rivals HTC and Nokia have ridiculed about it on their twitter handles. So it’s with almost inevitability that the likes of HTC and Nokia were keeping a close eye on what Samsung brought to the table with the device it hopes will prove a worthy successor to a long line of Galaxy S phones that have sold ridiculously well. Unfortunately, rather than concentrating on their respective products while looking on from afar, both companies have rushed out to try and poke fun at what Samsung has announced.
First up we have HTC, who felt compelled to post an image in which it suggests that there will be quite a lot of buyer’s remorse flying around once everyone sees what is coming out of the firm that brought us the well received and rarely bought One smartphone.
Nokia also took a big stick to the bear, that is Samsung, by suggesting that buyers stick out from the crowd by choosing something other than the Samsung option. Presumably they want people to go with their own multi-colored handsets instead. With people not exactly lining up to buy what are admittedly good smartphones from the new Microsoft acquisition, it might take more than a witty tweet to get Lumias into people’s pockets.
We don't think that Samsung needs to get bothered about all that because in the end the overall sales is what matters.
