Samsung Fined 20 Billion Won for Hiding Gaming Limits
South Korea's antitrust watchdog, the Fair Trade Commission, has decided to impose a fine of about 20 billion won ($15.1 million) on Samsung Electronics for misleading advertisements that concealed features limiting the performance of its Galaxy smartphones during high-spec gaming, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The fine, reported as 20.1 billion won by KBS World, stems from Samsung's failure to disclose that maximum performance is uniformly restricted when high-spec game apps run on Galaxy S21, S22, and Galaxy Tab S8 series devices, violating the country's display advertisement law, as detailed by Chosun Ilbo and Kyunghyang Shinmun. Samsung has declared legal action, calling the decision "difficult to understand" and stating the restriction was intended to reduce heat and maintain gaming performance, per Business Korea and Maeil Business Newspaper.
