Samsung Fined 20.1B Won for Hiding Gaming Performance Limits

South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decided on Tuesday to impose a fine of about 20.1 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed the fact that high-spec games immediately limit maximum performance on Galaxy S21, S22, and Galaxy Tab S8 devices, Yonhap and KBS World report. The FTC cited violations of the Display Advertisement Act and issued a corrective order alongside the fine. Samsung has declared legal action, calling the decision "difficult to understand," according to Business Korea and Kyunghyang Shinmun.
