Last year, Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC Corporation partnered with Robert Downey Jr. to advertise the HTC One smartphone, and the actor is back in the company’s ads, but only to promote the new HTC One M8 now.

You can watch Robert Downey Jr. congratulating HTC on the launch of what he says is the best smartphone on the planet in the video embedded below.

HTC One, last year’s flagship phone from the company, received a great deal of awards at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, proving that it was the best smartphone out there.

However, the release of HTC One M8 changed that, as the new device is set to win said distinction for itself. Robert Downey Jr. will point that out in the video below, urging users to buy it to see what it is all about.

He’s got one unit too but won’t share it. In fact, he says that he’ll protect the phone with his life, stressing that he’s serious about it: “You can tell how serious this is by the fact that I just briefly spoke old English.”

HTC One M8 was announced as a major improvement over last year’s flagship, and the reviews that it has seen so far were positive. Apparently, HTC too is serious about releasing the best handsets out there.
