A document with detailed technical parameters and images of Xiaomi Mix 4 appeared on Chinese social network Weibo. After that, Xiaomi management said it would find the user who violated the embargo.

He was initially fined $1,000,000, but eventually the amount of compensation for violating the non-disclosure agreement was reduced to $150,000. The information was reported by Chinese insiders, although the author of the channel by the name of Zhang Menglong did not say anything about it.
