Xiaomi will fine $143,000 bloggers for spreading information about Xiaomi 13 before the announcement

Xiaomi has threatened bloggers who will publish information about Xiaomi 13 flagships in chase of views before the embargo is lifted.

Here's What We Know

The head of Xiaomi's PR department in a communication with users of the Chinese social network Weibo reminded that Xiaomi sends smartphones to popular bloggers, so that they can prepare a review of the new product even before the official presentation. In such cases, there is a non-disclosure agreement, for breach of which $143,000 fine will have to be paid.

The conversation about this topic began not accidentally. A few days ago, Chinese blogger Chen Zhen with an audience of 8 million people published photos of Xiaomi 13. He later apologized for it and said he was willing to be punished.

In addition, the Xiaomi spokesperson revealed that a week ago one of the Xiaomi 13 Pro was stolen by a courier and sold online. After that, photos of the smartphone appeared on the Internet. A criminal case has been opened against the thief.
