It’s not common to see global giants take on each other on social media, so I thought this was worth a mention. Apparently there was some Mobile Awards that we were not aware of, but now we do and it so happens that HTC won an award for the design of the HTC One. It means alot to them, they have not been winning awards so it’s quite understandable when HTC acts like a baby who just won a balloon at a competition.
So where does HTC go to share the joy? Samsung, and it’s not nice. See tweet below:
Last night we won the ‘Hottest phone of 2013’ at the Mobile Awards #HTCOne twitter.com/o_reilly_garre… Ouch @samsungmobileuk

Samsung got an answer to that some hours later:
@htc_uk That’s okay guys, our arms were full with the other three awards we took home last night. You can have that one!
— Samsung Mobile UK (@SamsungMobileUK) June 7, 2013
And in an hour HTC hit back, gloves off:
@samsungmobileuk all those students you paid to write fake reviews of your competitors finally paid off. Pay rise, maybe?
— HTC UK (@htc_uk) June 7, 2013
And from that you can bet the fun the followers had from each side of the fans divide. This doesn’t show anything really, just that it’s entertaining. Do you secretly wish that this goes on and we see who has more fight in them?
Well, it wasn’t far off, was it?
