Nokia mocks Samsung and Android in 'violent' tweet

Nokia has taken to Twitter to mock Samsung and Android with a relatively violent image of a Galaxy S III broken in half; the image was posted to Nokia Germany's Twitter page.

The image features a GALAXY S III broken in half like a Kit Kat and the tweet reads, “Have a break... #Kitkat.” The Verge points out that the timing is quite calculated, as Nokia's tweet follows Google's announcement of Android 4.4 "KitKat" earlier this week.



Although it's a fairly violent parody of KitKat's advertising, it's clearly meant in jest as Nokia battles for share in the smartphone market.

Nokia is not afraid to tackle Samsung's smartphone dominance head on. In the past the Finnish smartphone maker has "welcomed" Samsung back to Windows Phone by mocking its Ativ S announcement. Just earlier this week, Nokia UK parked a truck nearby a Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom billboard to hijack the marketing with a Lumia 1020 ad.
