Samsung and LG had some uncharacteristically warm words for each other during this year's Mobile World Congress trade show. Samsung co-CEO JK Shin commended the LG Watch Urbane, while LG's mobile boss Juno Cho in turn praised Samsung's new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones.
The rarity likely occurred because the two companies weren't launching competing products for once. Just a few months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show, the two conglomerates blasted each others' TV strategy, at odds over OLED and LCD screen technology. The two chaebols were embroiled in legal proceedings over an allegedly vandalized washing machine. Though this particular chapter has come to a close, the rivalry itself has gone on for 50 years.
