Nokia tweets aggressive KitKat parody, takes a dig at Samsung, Google

Guess who’s jumping onto the KitKat bandwagon? After selling up its devices and services division to the mighty Microsoft, Nokia has in an uncharacteristic and aggressive move tweeted a KitKat joke aimed at Samsung and Google.

Before we go any further, let’s see what the tagline really stands for. For those who’ve been living under a rock for a decade or so, “Have a break, have a KitKat,” is the global tagline for the chocolate bar that has just seen the newest version of Android named after it. Google naming its newest iteration of Android “KitKat” seems to have presented plenty of opportunities to crack one-liners to everyone and their neighbours on Twitter. Recently bought-out Nokia was not going to stay too behind.

You only need to click on the image link to see what Nokia seems to be bent on breaking, It’s a Samsung Galaxy S3 (or is it an S4?). The image in its entirety reads “Have a break, have a [broken Samsung Galaxy S3]”.

Really, we couldn’t be too sure about what Nokia was thinking when it put this post up. Having sold off its own declining phone department seems to have filled the erstwhile Finnish mobility giant with guts to take on not just handset makers Samsung but also Android giant Google.

Although Google and Samsung have not been seeing eye-to-eye in the past, thanks to Samsung’s growth into a mobility monster in its own right, this is one salvo the companies would want to fire back in jest, together.
