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. 
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.
