The Chinese government asks Xiaomi to remove the Mi Mix 4 anti-theft feature
The Chinese government asked Xiaomi to remove the anti-theft security feature on the Mi Mix 4. This information is based on a report from the South China Morning Post media.
For your information, Mi Mix 4 is the flagship product of the new Xiaomi smartphone. Mi Mix 4 was revealed last August 10.
This smartphone is supported by a front camera feature under the screen with a resolution of 20MP. The company calls it a camera under panel (CUP).
One of the features that Xiaomi introduced on the Mi Mi4 is the anti-theft feature (antitheft). Citing Phone Arena, Monday (16/8/2021), this anti-theft feature allows users to find the missing Mi Mix 4 unit, even though the SIM card inside has been taken.
As an added security, the Mi Mix 4 device also does not allow another SIM card to be used in this smartphone, without the consent of the owner of the phone.
Instead of being appreciated, the anti-theft feature on the Mi Mix 4 is now disabled according to the government's request.
Citing Xiaomi's statement, the South China Morning Post report said, "The anti-theft feature on the Mi Mix 4 must be removed because it has not received approval from the regulator and does not meet the relevant regulations."
About Anti Theft Features
Earlier at the Mi Mix 4 launch event, Xiaomi Founder Lei Jun said, the anti-theft feature is a perfect feature with virtual SIM card support that keeps the smartphone connected to the internet.
"Its function does not allow the device to be installed with another SIM card, without the user's consent," said Lei Jun.
Not only that, Lei Jun also said, "We have carefully crafted many features to enhance the product experience, for example privacy protection."
Strict Regulator
Lei Jun emphasized that Xiaomi as a technology company always pays special attention to the protection of user privacy.
On the other hand, agen judi togel online terpercaya regulators and state-owned telecommunications companies are quite rigid over virtual SIM technology also known as eSIM. In China, eSIM support is only available in major cities.
In addition, the Chinese government also regulates the technology sector very strictly.
This includes efforts to increase influence in this sector and various antitrust measures, privacy rules, data security, and more stringent cybersecurity.
