There was a time when Xiaomi did not advertise its products, but depended on word of mouth from its customers. Years later, the company advertises its products.
One of those announcements has now resulted in a sanction for the company in China since then, according to a report by Is at home, Xiaomi was fined 20,000 yuan (2,800 euros) for misleading advertising in her country.
This penalty, which is quite ridiculous for a large company, was imposed by the Chinese government’s market oversight department for violating the “Popular Republic of China Advertising Law”.
Last year, the company made a mistake in an advertisement for the Redmi K30 5G. The promotional image mentioned that The phone had a “Samsung AMOLED screen”, but the phone actually has an LCD panel.
It seems that the person responsible for the ad didn’t make sure of the final specifications, or maybe they were confused with the Redmi K30 Pro 5G, which has an AMOLED panel supplied by Samsung Display.
We don’t think Xiaomi intended to cheat their best-selling 5G smartphone at the time, but they should have been more careful.
