WASHINGTON: Nokia and HTC have mocked Samsung's Galaxy S5 launch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The two rivals took to Twitter to mock and disrupt the launch in a 'not-so-funny' manner.
According to CNET, HTC, a company with some nice phones but not without its own problems, tweeted: "Buyer's remorse: Coming soon to S5 owners. March 25."
The Taiwanese manufacturer went a step further by suggesting that a person would be an idiot to buy the Galaxy S5, akin to what Samsung tells iPhone buyers.
HTC has scheduled an event for March 25, where it is expected to launch the successor of its top smartphone One.
Nokia tweeted with an image of its own not-yet-legendary phones: "Stand out from the crowd! #MWC14 #UNPACKED. NOT THE SAMESUNG;)"
The 'unamusing' responses from the two companies failed to ruffle the South Korean giant's anticipated mobile and wearables launch at the event.
Samsung has, in the past, poked fun at Apple's iPhone launches, mocking the long lines of buyers and new iPhone features that its own Galaxy phones have had for several months.
