A Chinese blogger named Gu Xuyang, who runs Beautiful Technology, has been ordered to pay a compensation of one million yuan for leaking details about a Xiaomi smartphone.

In August last year, Gu Xuyang had released an unboxing video of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition ahead of the official launch of the device. This was in violation of the confidentiality agreement between the blogger and Xiaomi.

According to the ruling by China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, Gu Xuyang, head of Beautiful Technology, failed to comply with the confidentiality agreement signed with Xiaomi and leaked information about the Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition.

It added that he recorded the unboxing video of the Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition and did not take any confidentiality measures, resulting in the video being circulated on the Internet. His behavior seriously violated the confidentiality agreement between the two parties, disrupted the pace of the announcement of Xiaomi’s new products, and caused irreparable losses to the company.

Gu Xuyang has been ordered to pay Xiaomi liquidated damage of RMB 1 million, which roughly converts to $154,695. If he fails to pay the damage within the determined time period, he will have to pay the debt interest during the delayed period. Further, he is also asked to tender a public apology within seven days, the content and method of which shall be determined through negotiations between the two parties.

He is also ordered to pay the arbitration fee of the case, which stands at RMB 96,360 which is around $14,908. Complying with the ruling, the blogger has issued an apology on Weibo, which reads: “This case was arbitrated by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, and it was determined that my actions had violated the confidentiality agreement and caused serious consequences. Xiaomi should make reasonable compensation. I recognize the arbitration result and am willing to undertake the corresponding Responsibility.” He has apologized to Xiaomi, Lei Jun, and Xiaomi users.

Here’s why Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is not called Mi 10 Pro Plus

Xiaomi has scheduled an event for August 11 in China to launch a number of products celebrating the 10th anniversary of the company. The star of the show will be Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition aka Mi 10 Ultra. Last night, Lei Jun, the CEO and co-founder of the firm revealed the motive behind this unique branding.

The upcoming Mi 10 Ultra is expected to be the fastest charging smartphone of 2020. Also, it is said to offer granular control over GPU in partnership with Qualcomm. Even the company is teasing it to be its most powerful smartphone yet.

But there is a commotion among netizens regarding why the device is not called Mi 10 Pro Plus like P40 Pro Plus, which is Huawei’s ultimate flagship smartphone of H1 2020. To clear everyone’s doubts, the CEO of Xiaomi posted an FAQ on Weibo explaining the branding, availability, and price.

Why Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition (Mi 10 Ultra)?

Lei Jun has been describing the forthcoming Mi 10 series phone as a “超大杯” (super big cup/oversized cup). In China, this term is used for premium flagship smartphones. Secondly, the company is launching it to celebrate its 10th year anniversary. Also, they wanted to give it a Chinese name.

Hence, he chose two names for the device and combined them. The first part of the branding says “至尊” (Extreme/Supreme) as it will be a powerful smartphone (super big cup). Whereas, the second-word “纪念” (commemorate/celebrate) is being used to describe it as the product for the 10th year anniversary.

Further, he revealed that they will be simply calling it “Mi 10 Ultra” for global markets. Probably because the original branding it too long and confusing for international customers.

Talking about availability, he said that they have enough stock to fulfil the demand but still asks fans to pre-order just in case to get first dibs on it. Lastly, he hinted the pricing to be premium.

So don’t expect Xiaomi’s powerful smartphone to be cheaper compared to premium handsets from its competitors as well as its own lineup.
