With examples of extremely competitive marketing from smartphone companies such as Samsung and Apple, it's necessary that other companies look to the gods for help with offerings such as the Ascend D Quad Pegasus statue in Spain.
As a brief refresher Pegasus was a mythological horse with wings often called upon for fierce battles by ancient Greek gods. It was also one of the most beautiful creatures in Greek mythology as well. In an effort to channel such strength and finesse the Chinese manufacturer Huawei has constructed this model using 3,500 of its smartphones. The statue stands majestically at 5.7m and has a wingspan of 4.8m. Needless to say its size and roaring stance will be sure to catch the attention of competitors -- and maybe even Zeus.
