You may recall that on the night of Samsung’s Unpacked event when they revealed their new Galaxy S 4 smartphone, HTC decided to try some new, more aggressive tactics in their battle for market share. It appears the fun did not stop there as some new tweets have surfaced and then disappeared, but not before folks could grab some screenshots.
The latest skirmish started on March 20th when Samsung’s UK office responded to a Twitter user with, “Four is always better than one.” In the response, they made sure to tag their HTC UK counterparts. Of course, HTC’s office responded with a tweet that read, “Plastic is not fantastic, my friend!” Both tweets were full of happy emoticons, but they couldn’t mask the underlying friction between the companies.
Since the tweets started to gain some notoriety, they have been deleted and the initial tweet from the unrelated user has been marked as private.
