Frequently Asked Questions

What are some examples of tech brand April Fools' jokes covered by YugaTech?

Based on our articles, notable tech brand April Fools' jokes include Google's 2019 'Screen Cleaner' feature for phones, 'Google Tulip' service for talking to flowers, and playable Snake in Google Maps. Xiaomi unveiled the fictional 'Xiaomi Invisible' phone with a 100-year battery, Vivo teased the 'V15 Mega' with 14 rear cameras, Nvidia launched a smart assistant called 'R.O.N.', HTC announced the 'Gluuv' high-tech glove with an 87.2MP camera in 2014, and Asus once promoted fictional 'ZenHome' appliances.

Did YugaTech ever publish April Fools' Day joke articles?

Yes. According to our archive, YugaTech published several spoof articles on April 1st. In 2017, we 'announced' our own YugaTech 4G/LTE Prepaid SIM as an MVNO. In 2014, we ran articles about the fictional 'Starmobile Tiny' flip phone with a 9,000mAh battery and claimed YugaTech would pay editors partly in Bitcoin ('Yugacoin'). We also noted that a 2013 fake leak of the 'Nokia Lumia 950' originated from an unpublished internal YugaTech April Fools' prank mock-up.

What non-tech April Fools' content has YugaTech featured?

On April 1, 2019, YugaTech published multiple hands-on video reviews and articles about the real, limited-time McDonald's 'Flavors of Japan' lineup in the Philippines. This included detailed reviews of the Ebi Burger (shrimp patty) and the Teriyaki Samurai Burger (all-beef patty), complete with specs listed in a tech-style format, treating them humorously as 'devices' to unbox and review.
