It was imposed fine to Xiaomi in China for inaccurate advertising of its specific features Mi Band 5.
Όas it states GizChina, a fine was imposed 80.000 Yuan (approximately € 11.142) in Xiaomi by Beijing Haidian District Market Surveillance and Administration Office, for violating the country's law on popular advertising Mi Band 5.
This fine was imposed on the company because it describes in its specifications Mi Band 5 that provides 24-hour sleep monitoring function, which according to the decision issued is inaccurate, resulting in the imposition of a fine.
Specifically, in his report Office of Market Surveillance and Administration of Beijing Haidian District it is pointed out that on its advertising page NFC variant of Mi Band 5, the company claims that this device supports its operation "24-hour sleep monitoring». In practice, however, it turned out that this feature works in two different ways - the records of night sleep And the sporadic sleep records.
The night sleep recording function will not record it if its duration is less than 60 minutes. On the other hand, the function of recording a short nap that one can take during the day, will not be recorded, if the duration of sleep is not at least 20 minutes.
Simply put, the Mi Band 5 does not record sleep continuously for 24 hours a day as Xiaomi claims in the description of the features it has posted on its pages. Certain conditions need to apply in order for the 24-hour sleep monitoring function to work accurately, something that Xiaomi does not make clear, resulting in the imposition of a fine.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Xiaomi has been fined in China. A quote from Read tells us that relatively recently Xiaomi was fined in the order of 20.000 Yuan (approximately € 2.785) for its false advertising Redmi K30 5G at Tmall. The promotional material in Tmall reported that the phone is equipped with Samsung AMOLED screen, however, the phone actually has IPS LCD screen 6,67 inches Full HD +.
Later, Xiaomi, in a statement made at TechRadar, confirmed that the error in the promotional material for at Tmall was the result of human error and that the company had no intention of misleading its customers.
