Samsung And Lg Say They Do Not Slow Down Older

I find this a little dubious. Since they don’t have a hand in the OS, nor do they design their own chips, how do they know the CPU isn’t throttling down when power isn’t available? Even chips from Intel and AMD will throttle down when on battery power vs plugged in, I’d be surprised if the Qualcomm chips most of these handset manufacturers use didn’t throttle the CPU based on available power.
