Previously, there have been instances where a brand was trolled for using another company’s device on social media. The most common scenario is when Android brands tweet from an iPhone. Similar events have happened with popular phone brands like Samsung and even Huawei. Now, surprisingly the Chinese tech giant OnePlus seems to have taken it further with a tweet, praising its rival Samsung’s S-Pen.

You heard it right, OnePlus knowingly or unknowingly tweeted about Samsung’s S-Pen from its OnePlus India Twitter handle. The tweet goes by “The enhanced #SPen is my weapon of choice”, with a short video of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and S-Pen.

Well, OnePlus obviously deleted the tweet, seconds after it was posted but the Twitter leakster, Abhishek Yadav, managed to spot it and share screenshots on the internet.

Brands can often make mistakes while promoting an ad campaign but it’s another story when you promote your rival’s products. Although it is laugh-worthy (at least from the netizen’s point of view), this could have happened because of a simple goof-up by the PR company handling the brand account. If you recall, earlier, OnePlus was subjected to similar trolling when it posted about the OnePlus 9 series from an iPhone.

In related news, OnePlus is currently dealing with a controversy where it is said to be throttling the performance of popular apps to save battery on its devices. Consequently, the Geekbench result of the OnePlus 9 Pro was also shelved off.

From a startup to a fully-fledged premium smartphone brand, OnePlus has come a long way since its inception in 2013. Now, as the brand is all set to unveil its 7th generation of smartphones, it has also tweaked its logo with bold letters and icons. In case you are wondering, the OnePlus 8 series is indeed the seventh generation of phones from the company as it ditched number 4 back in 2017 by launching the OnePlus 5.

Although OnePlus still depends on feedback from its community, the brand has shifted its philosophy from making ‘flagship killers’ to producing ‘premium flagships’ competing directly with the big names like Apple, Samsung, and Huawei. Also, the brand still somehow manages to undercut the competitors by pricing its devices slightly cheaper with OxygenOS as an icing on the cake.
