Samsung fined for hiding game performance limits

South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC), has decided to impose a fine of about 20 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed performance limits on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The FTC said Samsung omitted information that high-spec gaming apps would immediately face uniform performance caps on Galaxy S21, S22, and Galaxy Tab S8 series devices, violating the label and advertising law. Yonhap reports the fine is 20 billion won, while Chosun Ilbo specifies 20.114 billion won, along with a corrective order. Samsung has declared legal action against the penalty, according to Business Korea.
