HTC trolls Samsung’s Galaxy S4 launch event with Pringles and hot cocoa

Samsung has every intention of going above and beyond with it’s Galaxy S4 launch. The company took over Radio City Music Hall in New York City, put together a fancy film-like introduction for its latest handset, and is treating it like the start of a rock tour. But you know what Samsung didn’t have? Hot chocolate. Don’t worry, HTC came ready to party.

Maybe HTC just happened to show up on the same corner that everyone going to the Samsung Galaxy S4 event was waiting at. Maybe the people it sent just happened to be equipped with the HTC One and HTC-branded hot chocolate dispenser. It could all be a total coincidence. Or it could be the best way to leech off another company’s spotlight. Not only did HTC hit up these people before they could get in the door to see the Galaxy S4, but they also warmed their hearts (and stomachs) with free cocoa. Well played, HTC.

In the market for a new phone? You might be considering the latest offering from Samsung, which includes the Galaxy S24. It’s the entry level model for the S24 lineup, but still packs great performance and power with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and 8GB RAM, a beautiful LTPO AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits peak brightness. And even though it’s a base model, you get a triple lens camera system.

But the Galaxy S24 isn’t the only option you have out there. Here are five great alternatives to consider if you’re thinking about the S24.

Samsung started rolling out its One UI 6.1 update last week, bringing its Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S23 series and other Galaxy phones and tablets. Unfortunately, it looks like the update is doing more harm than good.

Over the last couple of days, there have been seemingly endless reports of One UI 6.1 wreaking havoc for Galaxy S23 owners — including everything from unresponsive touchscreens, fingerprint sensors not working, and more.
