After the Mobile Awards in the UK event concluded HTC’s UK decided to poke its rival Samsung on Twitter after winning Hottest phone of 2013 with the HTC One. After boasting about its victory the HTC UK Twitter account added an “Ouch @SamsungMobileUK”, which spurred the events to follow.
Samsung, being the world-dominating mobile brand it is, decided to retaliate with the following tweet.
@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!
