Today (June 18), Pn Suryani Abd Ghani posted on her Facebook, sharing that they received a brand new Redmi Note 10.
She revealed that Xiaomi Malaysia approached her and offered to give her a smartphone with better specs after her story went viral.
The Xiaomi Note 10 is the company’s latest entry-level 5G smartphone that was launched last month, and it has a much higher spec than the YES phone that nearly exploded.
In response to the incident, YTL Communications’ CEO Wing K Lee promised a thorough investigation into the matter, stating that “the safety of their products and users is of paramount importance”.
He also added that out of the 100,000 YES Altitude 3 smartphones distributed, they have yet to receive any reports concerning safety issues thus far.
