The world of marketing seems to have entered a new era of roasting other brands and marketing for their brand. Though few people can say that it’s not wrong to recommend best to buyers while others can also say that doing this at the cost of tarnishing other brands’ image is not a cool marketing method. Recently we saw Carl Pei reviewing smartphones of competitive brands and recommending Nothing over it.

But this time it’s about iQOO which trolled the new OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite by comparing it with their Z7 5G model. iQOO shared an image that shows the comparison between Z7 and the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite and wrote “Step aside Lite weights, the new iQOO Z7 5G is the real deal! Fully loaded with the best features out there, this baby packs a punch. So, why settle for less when you can have it all?”.
The image of the post has compared both the phones on the basis of some grounds like display, camera, IP rating, graphics, and 4K support. iQOO has used the tagline of OnePlus as “don’t settle for less” which wipes out any doubt that it’s just a post about iQOO Z7 5G smartphone. Anir Chakraborty, a Twitter user sharing this post, wrote: “Seriously I am saying…a professional brand should not do these types of things.. why troll others just focus on your smartphone”. Though it’s not new to customers at this scale when almost every other brand is doing it is something new for sure.

Even Samsung and Apple have a tradition of making fun of each other. Samsung has trolled Apple multiple times for the notch, removal of the headphones jack, and separate chargers.
