The day before, company president Lin Bin posted a series of promotional pictures, showing off the phone's ability to slim female figures and enlarge their breasts (a regretfully common practice among Chinese photo "beauty" apps). Netizens soon pointed out that the pictures were actually two years old. Xiaomi angrily denied any intent to mislead, claiming they were just drafts and that "we are not that stupid."
