When it comes to foldable or flip smartphones, Samsung can boast a diverse portfolio of products that are unmatched. With the amazing success of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, the Korean company has cemented its position at the forefront of this niche, which other brands will not easily replace.
However, recently other brands like Huawei and OPPO have entered the foldable smartphone segment. While most of the foldables from these brands are limited to being sold in China, they have a design that looks promising and, if released globally, is likely. This will lead to fierce competition in the folding smartphone market currently dominated by Samsung.
And in a recent tweet, Samsung’s official account unexpectedly praised one of its rivals, the OPPO Find N. The text describes the folding phone as “ravishly beautiful”.
Earlier an OPPO and OnePlus PR executive posted a GIF of the OPPO Find N on Twitter, reminding everyone that today’s smartphones are far from boring. It received many responses, but the most prominent one was from the official Samsung Mobile US Twitter account.
There is no confirmation on whether this tweet was an intentional decision.
There is a view that users of Samsung’s Twitter account did not intentionally praise OPPO Find N, but thought that the device in the GIF image was one of the products of the company’s Galaxy Fold line. Of course, it’s also possible that Samsung is simply a “play nice” company willing to praise foldable devices in general.
Anyway, Samsung is the company that changed the smartphone industry by kicking off the “foldable revolution” and has taken the lead in this segment. Perhaps they feel confident enough to credit this achievement, even if it’s a competitor’s device.
