Robert Downey Jr – brand ambassador of OnePlus apparently put up a Weibopost with a Huawei device. This was said to be a Huawei P30 smartphone.  

Now, as per a HuaweiCentral report, Downey who has been endorsing the newer OnePlus 7 smartphones, posted a Weibo about aspects related to the predictable and unpredictable relating to the OnePlus 7; this post is also said to have been deleted now.

As per a screenshot of this post (not verified), captured by Huawei Central, courtesy Weibo, the source of this post is a Huawei P30 premium smartphone. This has set in motion certain confusion as Huawei has been in the news for certain “wrong reasons” in the United States of America (USA), and with the popular Hollywood actor having intensely endorsed the new OnePlus range of smartphones, it is only natural for the actor’s followers to express surprise over his apparent choice of smartphone for the above-speculated tweet (in case it is true). Naturally, the “use what you endorse” theory has been circulating within the minds of people from long.  

With the OnePlus 7 Pro being a popular smartphone in India, and with Downey’s immense star value in the country, the actor’s speculated Weibo post from a Huawei P30 could potentially ruffle fa few feathers in the country. Talking about smartphones, the Huawei P30 comes with key technical aspect such as – A 6.1-inch display, Android 9.0 (Pie) operating system, Octa-core SoC, triple rear cameras, 6GB RAM (and an 8GB RAM variant as well), and a fixed 3650mAh Lithium-Polymer battery.
