Samsung uses the iPhone again to post Galaxy Unpacked ads on Twitter: Game or mistake?

Samsung committed a behavior many times in the past yesterday, January 13, when posting a tweet on Twitter to promote the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event with an iPhone – a handheld device. top produced by a competitor in the smartphone market.

Specifically, the South Korean tech giant posted a trailer of its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on a Twitter account run by the US division of Samsung Mobile.

“With #SamsungUnpacked coming closer, we’re working hard to bring you some interesting news. What areas of innovation and progress do you hope to see us reveal about innovation and progress?” asked in the tweet.

An innocuous message, but the method of sending it caused a stir in social networks. Because it comes with the message “Twitter for iPhone”, which proves that the device used to post the message is Apple’s phone. Clearly, this is an almost unforgivable offense in the eyes of avid Samsung fans.

But, the problem is that this is the “nth” time that Samsung has made this mistake. Employees or brand ambassadors of the South Korean tech giant have been repeatedly caught using iPhone products and services. For example, in 2013, tennis star David Ferrer used his iPhone to send a tweet praising the Galaxy S4. That same year, former T-Mobile CEO John Legere praised the Galaxy Note 3, but did the same on an iPhone.

More recently, Ksenia Sobchak, who was paid to promote Samsung products, was sued in 2018 for using the iPhone X in public. As for the number of posts on Twitter using the iPhone by Samsung dealers in many countries and regions, it is not over.

Even so, the incident often takes place before major events of the company, causing many people to doubt whether this is a trick of borrowing competitors to promote and attract public attention to the company’s events. or not. Because obviously, attracting iFan’s attention with curiosity carries a bit of indignation, it’s better not to get any attention.

Samsung is expected to launch the new Galaxy S21 models at the Unpacked event on January 14. The new products are expected to include 6.7-inch and 6.8-inch OLED screens, S-Pen support, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 chip and other high-end components to compete. with Apple’s iPhone 12 line.
