The throttling on purpose drops the fps on games by 10 to 30 fps. That is huge. Imagine the effect that could have on non-game apps.
Samsung very well knows that their phones will probably get really hot and battery life will suffer if they don’t throttle them. Otherwise why throttle everything, except for benchmarks. This last point is so hilarious.
It was found that the throttling drops performance as much as 50% (holly cow). On a brand new $1200 phone. Some members are like “nothing to see here”. ?

I dumped my s21 due to issues with text messages and 5 G on T-Mobile. Kept my pro and mini. No regrets at all keeping apple now.
I wouldn’t touch a Samsung phone with a 10 foot pole, don’t know how they can justify charging apple flagship prices for their phones.The throttling on purpose drops the fps on games by 10 to 30 fps. That is huge. Imagine the effect that could have on non-game apps.

Same old, same old. ?♂️?
Can clearly see the effect of the throttling. This is lame and sad.
$1,849 for a paperweight phone. ?♂️
Samsung and Qualcomm don’t have a honest bone in their body.
Throttling a brand new flagship phone, couldn’t make this stuff up. ???
Get your Exynos 2200 & snapdragon 8 gen 1 chips while they’re hot. ?

A lot of reviewers are saying it’s not the best OLED panel they’ve seen.
Looks like Sammy went with a cheaper panel. ?
This is what it looks like when you disable the Samsung GOS throttle. Still not great.
These are the Geekbench scores for Samsung GOS off vs on. Not too surprising that Samsung does not want anyone to know how bad the performance is with GOS on. It is just very very sad how bad it really is.
Now compare that with the iPhone 13 in Low Power Mode, with the 2 performance cores shutdown and only using the 4 efficiency cores down clocked from 1.8GHz to running at 1.37 GHz.

Android is just better overall but iPhone does the basics better. Not a day goes by I wish I hadn’t bought my 11 pro max. Poor notifications, no multitasking, confusing drop down menu, crap software but great hardware, great keyboard that’s accurate and good app support.
The problem is I don’t game nor use many apps so I bought this 1k phone two years ago and don’t like it but don’t want to deal with low ballers and cheapskates trying to sell it.
And I hate the watch too it looks feline.
Only getting worse for Samsung.

Fortunately for me, I am not a gamer. I gather the issue with heat is why Samsung slows a certain list of game apps down. My S8+ worked well as does my present S10+ for everything including playing largish movie files. I recall the iphone 13 pro and pro max or whatever had some screen dimming challenges. Some were addressable and some not so much. I guess these phones go to customers with known issues that are not told to the customers ahead of time - a questionable practice.
Not yet. I am deciding whether to move forward with the 13 pro max or wait for the 14 pro/max which may have some things that I particularly appreciate. The Samsung debacle really doesn't impact me as the 10+ works with no issues and my screens are very easy to read at a glance. If I go with the 13 pro max, it will be within the next week or two. So yes, I guess I am returning to the fold.
I’ve been on Android since the beginning, with early Motorola and then Samsung phones and Sammy Notes going all the way to the best Android I ever had, the Note 9. Great phone, did everything. Was out of OS Updates and the security updates were soon to end and I was in the market for a new phone. MADE A HUGE MISTAKE… bought my first Pixel, the 6 Pro, a fine phone but with a horrible modem, weak to the max! I’m not talking sitting in front of Wifi or close to towers, I’ve been with Verizon Business for twenty two years and I travel throughout rural Colorado and The West. Where I could normally get a signal from rural towers, the Pixel 6Pro was handicapped and suffered miserably. The kicker… I WAS NOT ALONE, many others had the same problem. Google Advanced Tech Support… literally REEKED BIG TIME. They knew they had a bad design problem using a weak, older modem in a so called flagship phone but THEY STONEWALLED ME AND OTHERS FOR FOUR MONTHS. Finally, took a huge loss on the phone, Verizon stepped up and is compensating me to a good extent, when GOOGLE DID NOTHING. I then bought an iOS 13 Pro Max and the phone has been performing very well. Have a Mac Book Pro Retina so the transition hasn’t been too bad. Bottom line… GOOGLE FAILED, the modem design failed, their customer service failed and moved on over to iOS and have not looked back at Android. Who knows, maybe I’ll buy another Android in the future? But the sour taste with Google left me very wary about ever buying another piece of Google hardware again. Pixel…6 Pro… Caveat Emptor… buyer beware. Rock on iOS.
