A day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson hinted the U.K. could restrict or ban Huawei Technologies Co Ltd telecom equipment, he was seen using what appeared to be a Huawei P20 Pro smartphone -- with a shimmering Twilight color scheme.

Johnson had been speaking on U.K. broadcaster ITV’s “This Morning” program, but after concluding an interview he posed for a selfie with the anchors. TV cameras briefly captured him holding a distinctive Huawei product to take the photograph.
