Google Product Manager falls for a Pixel 4 prank video, gets trolled

Google is known to celebrate April Fools’ day with some or the other prank on either of its apps. The company came up with a snake game this year to celebrate the day of jokes. What if you get to know that Google got fooled by a prank video based on its own smartphone? Michael Sayman, Product Manager at Google, posted on Twitter that he got fooled by a prank video uploaded on YouTube by popular tech reviewer Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD.

Brownlee uploaded an April Fool's day with the title ‘This is Google Pixel 4 Ultra’. MKBHD showed pictures of the upcoming Oppo Reno as the Google Pixel 4 Ultra which has an unusual ‘Shark fin’ design for the front camera. In the video, Brownlee states that Google has a history lately of giving codenames to its smartphones which are fish-related. 

I’m a Product Manager at Google and I just fell for this. Watched half of the video believing you @MKBHD.

Great job on the prank. You’ve even got us at Google fooled. https://t.co/KcCXOnUQcU — Michael Sayman (@michaelsayman) April 4, 2019

Sayman stated that he fell for the prank and actually believed what Brownlee said in the video. “I’m a Product Manager at Google, and I just fell for this. Watched half of the video believing you @MKBHD. Great job on the prank. You’ve even got us at Google fooled”, said Sayman.

The tweet has some hilarious reactions with many pointing at the Google employee for using an iPhone.
