The most diverse companies in the world today respond to the so-called April Fools' Day, when on the occasion of April 1st they are very happy to shoot their fans. As usual, we can meet with the presentation of completely invented products and other jokes. But let's take a look together at the forums that are directly behind the technological giants.

Xiaomi

This year, the Chinese giant Xiaomi pulled it off perfectly, and at first glance you can see that it thought the joke through. In order to have the greatest possible effect, the company started building the atmosphere at the beginning of the week, when speculation began about the imminent introduction of a brand new tablet. And that's exactly what we got today. The presentation took place on the Twitter account @XiaomiIndia, and probably surprised more followers. In any case, Xiaomi didn't lie at all in the finale - it actually presented new tablets in the finale. Just not the ones we would expect.

Specifically, these are mint tablets, created directly for fans of the Mi series. Their name ConfiBOOST is also great, and the manufacturer promises that with their help you can do practically anything as long as you believe in it. As we mentioned above, this joke is well thought out, it comes with a well-built atmosphere, and therefore it is not surprising that it is also a great success. If you were interested in pills, you are unfortunately out of luck. They will not go on sale.

Oppo

Another Chinese company that has taken a hit from its fans today is Oppo. Interestingly, the forum was once again shared by the Indian Twitter account @OPPOIndia. Anyway, this company bet on the good old fashioned presentation of a brand new product called Oppo Gotcha (gotcha means "I got you" or "got you" in Czech). Looking at the device itself, or at the video in question, it's clear that it's just a joke. In its form, this piece is reminiscent of the old familiar Tamagotchi, when it specifically offers a display with a refresh rate of 1422 Hz (for example, the iPhone 13 Pro has a 120Hz screen), dual stereo Hi-Fi speakers and a "very clicking sensor".

Another

The company Another is not exactly well-known, in any case it is backed by the co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, who is realistically expected to come out with a very interesting smartphone. This company should introduce the Nothing Phone 1 this summer. It is supposed to bring a new approach to the entire smartphone market, where the manufacturer even claims that it will crush the current monotony of the entire market. However, as it turned out today, we will have to wait for this piece for another Friday. Today, model Another (1) with the slogan “Oh. So boring.'

At first glance, it is clear what the company wants to achieve. It used April 1st to promote the upcoming smartphone, which can be clearly read from the text presenting the aforementioned April Fool's model Another (XNUMX). The company says on Twitter that you have seen a phone like this for a long time, and specifically you can enjoy the monotony from edge to edge. According to Another, this piece is so inspiring it's not, and exactly the same as all the other models.

Internet full of jokes

Of course, in addition to the mentioned technology companies, other companies also make fun of people. For example, the manufacturer Butterfinger, which focuses on peanut butter products, announced a collaboration with Hellmann's on its official Twitter account. And the result? This is supposed to be the best mayonnaise combined with the aforementioned peanut butter.
