Earlier today (11th August 2020), a Weibo blogger by the name @beautiful科技 leaked the hands on video of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra online. Apparently, the blogger had also signed an NDA with the company and could potentially face a breach of contract worth 1 million US Dollars. But in a bizarre turn of events, the blogger’s mother is claiming responsibility for the leak.

When the news regarding the initial leak first spread, certain Chinese reporting agencies reached out to @beautiful科技. However, the one that responded to all of these queries was not the blogger but their mother. According to the supposed parent, she was the one responsible for the leak and had done this by accident. Allegedly, she just saw the post on his computer waiting to be uploaded and hit “Yes” to share it online to a QQ group by mistake.

Still from the leaked hands on video

The original post has since been deleted but it has already been reuploaded by others and is circulating online. When the parent was asked about the gravity of the situation, she replied that she didn’t know what the matter was concerning and that her son had signed a non-disclosure agreement. At the moment, Xiaomi has yet to comment on the situation, so we will have to wait and see what course of action the Chinese tech giant takes.
