Samsung has been hit with a fine exceeding $15 million following investigations into performance throttling on its flagship Galaxy smartphones.
The penalty addresses marketing discrepancies, as the company had actively promoted the affected devices as offering "ultimate" gaming power. However, software mechanisms were found to restrict system performance, contradicting the promised high-end capabilities.
Performance throttling has drawn sharp criticism across the mobile industry in recent years, prompting consumer protection authorities to crack down on misleading claims regarding hardware speed and sustained performance.
