People have already started to queue up for the iPhone XS and we reported a story yesterday about how fans are even ready to spend the night waiting in line. 

However, Apple fans who were stationed outside the store were greeted with a surprise by another smartphone maker — Huawei.

In a brilliant yet snarky marketing gimmick, some people were spotted wearing Huawei shirts and handing out free power banks to hundreds of Apple fans in line. This was first reported by tech360 and here's what they posted: 

According to sources, approximately 200 power banks were handed out to people in the line. Here are some of the images shared by Huawei:

Each power bank came with a message that basically said “You'll need it”. We have to commend Huawei for this ingenious marketing campaign that basically targets the iPhone's battery life. The iPhone XS is outfitted with a 2,658mAh battery while Huawei's P20 Pro comes with a 4,00 mAh battery. 

Here's a video below that basically shows what Huawei was up to last night in Singapore.
