OnePlus gives Samsung a taste of its own medicine, mocks Galaxy S23 Ultra price

OnePlus is on the verge of unveiling the much-awaited OnePlus 11 smartphone. In the meantime, the Chinese consumer electronics giant is poking fun at Samsung. OnePlus is even taking digs at the steep price tag the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S23 series carries.

Taking to its official Twitter account, OnePlus has made jokes about Apple. Now, the company is doling out a whopping $200 extra trade-in credit for Galaxy smartphone users in the US. All you need to do to avail yourself of this offer is to exchange your Galaxy phone for the OnePlus 11 5G.

The Korean smartphone manufacturer recently revealed the pricing of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The highest-end model in the Galaxy S23 lineup has a starting price of $1,199 in the US. OnePlus blasted Samsung for not offering a charger in the box while bringing a huge 200MP camera on the Ultra model.

Furthermore, OnePlus has mocked Samsung for retaining the design of last year's Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S23 Ultra clearly resembles its outgoing predecessor. As if that weren't enough, the company tweeted that Samsung is only good at watching movies on phones, but can't make them.

Aside from this, OnePlus actually explained why it thinks Samsung phones carry the Galaxy moniker. "Why do they call it the Galaxy?" the company replied saying, "Astronomical pricing." In fact, OnePlus USA went on to ask consumers why are they willing to pay $1199 for 'Ultra'?"
