Strange !
You are the brand ambassador of arguably the best software Android brand (@OnePlus_IN) and still you buy a Samsung phone even though its one of the worst UIs ? Strange !

Yes, even we thought that
हमें तो लगता था ऐसी परिस्थितियों से केवल आम लोगों का ही पाला पड़ता है, लेकिन अब आपकी प्रॉब्लम देखकर लगता है कि सभी के साथ ऐसा होता है । धन्यवाद ।।

Companies know that Twitter complaints are something that modern customers pay attention to before buying new smartphones. Xiaomi India VP Manu Kumar Jain tried taking advantage of the situation and offered BIG B to switch to Xiaomi.
Dear Amit Ji.
It's time to switch phones. You can maybe try the most loved technology brand in India ❤️😇
Happy to send a flagship phone to you, if you want.#BigFan @SrBachchan https://t.co/O5DlcdxY3K

Amitabh hasn’t replied to Xiaomi but it shows how smart modern brands have become to market their products. This is a great way of marketing as millions of people follow Mr. Bachchan and this has caught their attention.
