It would be less damaging PR if at least they disclosed it up front!

I'm pretty sure their preorder cancelations are far more damaging.

It's not good by any stretch of the imagination. But I think fraud is a harsh word to describe the situation.

This could explain a lot of the lag in apps like Twitter and Google Snapshot etc

I think the obsession with battery life is the biggest bugaboo in phone firmware these days. Companies do so much meddling to squeeze out a few more minutes at the expense of actual performance. It wouldn't be so bad if this were something the user could have more control over.:-\

Right? There have been problems with Android phones throttling and closing background apps to preserve battery for years. Certainly wish the user had more control.

I always share this link, which shows the magnitude of the problem: https://dontkillmyapp.com/

Exactly. Consumers should have an option to throttle or not.

Interesting quote from another site:

Some performance throttling on phones is inevitable in order to maintain battery life and to avoid the handset overheating. But doing it selectively like this, which happens to have the effect of keeping benchmark scores as high as possible, is unfair to users who then don’t get the processing power they thought they’d paid for. This is what we saw happen with OnePlus last year, although it has since made its performance throttling an optional setting.

I think they should have done this when in power saving mode only or independent toggle

I agree. That would be the preferable setting.

I like options

I already have the performance option in the game launcher app. I recall setting that during setup.

Samsung HAVE to be referring to another performance boost in an upcoming update surely? I've had that option set in Game Launcher since I got my Ultra 2 weeks ago and many apps are still a laggy, stuttering mess
