Samsung twice promoted the Galaxy Note 9 display on Twitter, using an Apple iPhone
Samsung's Nigerian Twitter account tweeted a promotional message for the Galaxy Note 9, which focused on the handset's Super AMOLED display. But it appears that whoever was responsible for the tweet wasn't using a Galaxy Note 9 to create and post the message on Twitter. In fact, the tweet wasn't even typed out on a Samsung device, or even an Android flavored phone or tablet.
As odd as this must seem, the tweet clearly shows that the Galaxy Note 9 promotion was created and posted on an Apple iPhone. Once this faux pas was discovered by reviewer Marques Brownlee, Samsung Nigeria removed the tweet and the whole account. But not before a screen grab was posted showing how someone related to Samsung Nigeria uses a handset produced by Samsung's chief smartphone rival.
Samsung's Saudi Arabian Twitter feed also posted a similar promotional message last month for the Galaxy Note 9, which also was tweeted using the Twitter for iPhone app. Perhaps Samsung ought to hand out some free Galaxy Note 9 handsets to its marketing team to prevent this embarrassing situation from happening again.

Just shows even samsung employees don't want to use Samsung phones. Dumbass people use Samsung phones. Lol
Samsung phones are overrated and Samsung employees know that. Only Samsung keyboard warriors say and believe they are the best. I Don't have to mentioned that they have the most racist, shameless and dumbass Fanboys here on PA like Hallyu, techie, Trojans_horse, darkidiot and his master "that garbage" and many more.
I won't be surprised if we find out samsung head of mobile and chairman of Samsung secretly use iPhone as their favorite phone.

I don't get it? A Samsung rep in one meeting with another OEM board witness all those board members pull out their iPhones to check e-mails. the OEMs CEO aware and embarrass by this apologized to the Samsung rep for his board members insensitivity. Samsung rep turned around and said it's okay "no apologies need Apple is one of our best customers"
So, regardless of which device is used Samsung still benefits
if most of the iPhone or that matter most other oems components are by Samsung( NAND flash memory, DDR4 memory, Displays, Stack modules etc..) though Samsung should be more in control of its branches for optics. but whether you tweet from and iPhone or a Samsung phone Samsung still wins.

Lol. That was the best tongue in cheek comment by phonearena.
Really embarrassing for Samsung. BlackBerry official did the same years ago.

Wow! Samsung marketing team is using an iphone to promote Samsung. No wonder because iphone camera and video is better than Samsung. Time to think for Samsung to give marketing team a free Note 9 since many notes are getting dusty in the shelf.

Anyone who fully understands this knows that it is Digital Marketing and PR agencies that do these posts and promotions on behalf of Samsung. These are just some Community Managers from an agency employed by Samsung who are putting together these tweets from their phones, that happen to be iPhones.
Some poor Community Manager at some digital/pr agency will be getting in to trouble for this.

Lmao, when I was in China I went to google’s headquarters, almost everyone were using iPhones and macs, now I see Samsung employees do the same and I believe the same happens to other oems, even celebrities who are hired to promote android devices don’t use those devices lol, keep crying

why you think that's a lie? Mac is better for work and so is iPhone.
When people do real work, they need devices they can trust and it has to be ready always when they need them and also security is very important thing.That's why apple owns enterprise markets.

Samsung and Android phones in general are for techies For normal people who want to do their job without being buried in useless features the iPhone is the best option. I sympathize with this guy. Using a Samsung phone on daily basis must be a stressful experience if you are normal and not a techie.

I'd be willing to bet my PhoneArena account that this is fake.
Not a verified account (but all of the other Samsung handles are).
Twitter got rid of the "via Twitter for ____" a long time ago.
Account is now deleted completely.
Hate to quote the President... but I'm calling fake news.
