The Daily Notable (Web Desk) You would think that Samsung at this point would have learned that paying high-profile celebrities to “promote” the brand may not be the smartest move. In a scenario we’ve seen play out countless times, celebrities paid to promote Samsung smartphones are often caught using or sending out tweets from their iPhone.
A couple of years prior, for instance, Samsung procured supermodel Kate Upton to advance the System Note 10 dispatch at an occasion in New York City. Sounds sufficiently honest, yet Upton was shot utilizing her iPhone at an occasion, subsequently invalidating the point totally and giving some free publicizing to Apple simultaneously.
Well things being what they are, Samsung has apparently had enough of these sorts of trickeries. As per a report from the Mirror, Samsung documented a $1.6 million claim against brand representative and Russian socialite Ksenia Sobchak after she was discovered utilizing an iPhone X on camera, in spite of her unremarkable endeavors to shroud the telephone behind a sheet of paper, detailed BGR.
Considerably more impossible to miss, and accusing is that Sobchak was supposedly spotted at various prominent get-togethers utilizing her own iPhone too. The report tries noticing that Sobchak “is required by contract to show up out in the open with her Samsung cell phone.”
Obviously, Samsung suing Sobchak may just serve to additionally humiliate the organization by carrying the story into the spotlight. It will positively be fascinating to perceive how Sobchak reacts to the suit and if Samsung will forcefully pursue her.
At the very least, Sobchak finds herself in a rather good company. In recent years, there has been no shortage of celebrities paid to endorse the Android brand who were ultimately found to be iPhone users. Most recently, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot was caught hyping up the Huawei Mate 10 Pro via a tweet sent out from her iPhone.
