The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge release dates are making the rounds already. The phones had been launched in Mobile World Congress earlier this year. It is said that these phones are likely to be the flagships of what Samsung has produced up till now. It is also looking forward to a healthy and head-to-head competition with HTC One M9.
Recently, there had been rumors regarding Samsung paying the people to pretend being fans. Latest Samsung news reports that the tech giant has completely denied the report which points at it paying the people in order for them to pretend to be fans at the event for the launch of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge phones in Shanghai.
A news company in Shanghai has declared that almost 1,000 of the attendees were the ones that had been traced by the recruiter. They were also paid 30 Yuan which is us $4.80 per hour of the total time they attended the conference for. The Shanghai based news informs that Beijing resided office of the tech giant vetted the first 20 paid personnel but that number had been significantly raised to approximately 500 fans. Samsung news today reports this claim “totally groundless and bogus” in its blog this morning.
The company expressed that there has not been the case that people were paid or recruited just for the sake of the conference and pretending to be fake fans. Furthermore, it said that there had been more than 1,100 attendees. This number included the officials from industry and the end users. These personnel had been formally invited by the company to Shanghai Culture Square, the place where the launch event had taken place. Also, Samsung said that they are still trying to find the roots from where such bogus news was brought up and also that The Paper verified the findings of the company and withdrew the erroneous story.
If we come to think of it, this is not the first time that the company had faced allegations and paid-for arguments. In 2013, the tech giant had been fined for paying the students and making them post critically offensive comments and views regarding smartphones by HTC. The company later had accused the external agency for this conduct. The agency of another agency had taken the responsibility of another gesture where developers had offered money in order to promote the company on Stack Overflow, a community belonging to developers.
However, in this recent case of accusation, Samsung has strongly replied with a denial. Regardless of the denial, such incidents are the highlights to what the big companies can do in order for their products to be the hit.
