Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra prices were revealed earlier today, starting at Rs 1,24,999 in India and $1,199 (over Rs 98,000) in the US. The India starting price is a Rs 15,000 bump over the Galaxy S22 Ultra starting price from last year. Meanwhile, a recent report indicated the OnePlus 11 5G is expected to be priced at Rs 54,999 for the 12GB+256GB storage variant. You can check out the Twitter thread below for the banter.

OnePlus has also mocked Samsung for bringing a 200MP primary camera on the Ultra model but not including a charger in the box. The company has also lashed out at the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra’s same design, besides tweeting that they are good with just watching movies on phones, not making them.

OnePlus apparently has an explanation for why Samsung phones are called Galaxy. “Why do they call it the Galaxy? Astronomical pricing.” OnePlus USA also rhetorically said, “In what Galaxy are you paying $1199 for ‘Ultra‘?” Ironically, in the past, Samsung has been releasing advertisements taking a dig at its closest competitor, Apple.
