Former World Footballer of the Year and Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo may be currently using a Huawei mobile phone. A Weibo post by Sina Digital shows a photo of Ronaldo with a possible Huawei smartphone.

The speculations surrounding the post point to the Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Edition. It is however speculated that the Weibo photo was from 2021 and some netizens believed it could be a non-Huawei phone in the picture. It is also speculated that Ronaldo uses up to eight mobile phones and the Huawei model was specifically for navigation purposes. The other phones, according to unverified speculations, are all Apple products.

The phone was sighted on Ronaldo’s Porsche and the superstar has never hidden his love for Porsche cars. The Mate RS Porsche Design Edition was released in 2018 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Porsche sports car. It coincided with the release of the Porsche 911nGT 3 RS. Huawei had partnered with Porsche to release the anniversary Huawei Mate RS which was customized for the car. It is possible that Porsche offered the customized Huawei Mate RS as part of the package for any purchase of the car.

The smartphone has a 40MP Leica three-camera setup and uses in-screen fingerprint unlocking, in addition to its rear fingerprint scanner. The smartphone was released in black and red color variants and also features face unlocking. The Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Edition has a 6GB/ 512GB RAM/ storage configuration and has a 12,999 yuan (~$1,803) price tag. Ronaldo became the only player to have scored in 5 consecutive World Cups with his goal against Ghana during the Mundial.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has officially begun in Qatar. The game has been riddled with controversies, owing mostly to the Qatar Government’s handling of the event. Anyway, Google, for example, generally releases a mini-doodle or other in-homepage games whenever an international gaming tournament goes live. This time, the company is allowing hooligans to score goals against one another in multiplayer battles with a sweet new mini-game.

Activating and playing this mini-game is as easy as searching for something on Google. The feature has gone live for both the Android and iOS platforms. The VP of Engineering at Google has officially confirmed this on his Twitter handle. In order to play and activate the mini-game, one must search for “World Cup” and then hit the soccer ball at the bottom. So, this is how you can activate the mini-game using Google.

This is an excellent method to increase fan interaction ahead of soccer’s biggest event, and it appears that millions of people have already tried out the game. There are mini-games for every World Cup match, allowing fans from either team to shoot golden goals and increase their team’s count into the millions digitally. Talking about the game, it is technically a single-player game having an MMO element. However, the brand has earlier created some actual multiplayer games like the Petanque, which has 1v1 player, and a 4v4 Halloween based multiplayer.

FIFA, the world soccer governing body, was in damage control mode earlier this month, requesting participating nations to desist from criticising the host nation for their dismal human rights record, and to “now focus on the football.” Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has also stated that selecting Qatar to host the World Cup was a mistake.
