On February 11, digital blogger @Rice Review said on Weibo that the new flagship game of some mobile phone manufacturers is not as good as the old flagship, so the performance release of the old flagship is reduced, so that the new flagship is stronger when compared.
When it comes to negative optimization of the old flagship, Xiao Lei's first thought of the brand is Apple, when Apple forced the old iPhone processor to downselect through the iOS update. Although Apple's explanation is that the old iPhone battery health is low, considering the battery life, it will reduce their performance and power consumption, but consumers are not satisfied, thinking that Apple wants to force them to change the machine, launched a class action lawsuit against Apple, and finally Apple had to pay compensation to overseas iPhone users.
In fact, it is not only Apple that does this, but also many Android flagships, a new generation of products released, if the old flagship is too strong, then the sales of the old flagship may be affected. And in the game comparison, the new flagship performance is not as good as the old flagship, which is simply punching the face of mobile phone manufacturers and chip manufacturers.
As we all know, considering the factors of performance, power consumption, heat generation and so on, the best performing Android mobile phone CPU in these two years should be Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 870. Considering that they want to make way for the new flagship chip, mobile phone manufacturers have begun to negatively optimize the old flagship.
Here to make it clear, not one or two mobile phone manufacturers to do this, many mobile phone manufacturers have had similar problems, to Baidu search for "old mobile phone negative optimization", you will find that many years ago the major mobile phone manufacturers have exposed such problems. To this year, they still haven't changed their plans and are still negatively optimizing the old flagship.

Whatever their reason, it's intolerable for consumers. When we first bought flagship mobile phones at a high price, we were interested in their performance and quality, and they could be used smoothly for many years. Manufacturers do not provide positive optimization for them, but also through negative optimization to reduce their performance, is a bit excessive.
We can only hope that the relevant departments can learn from overseas consumer protection associations, and if necessary, also launch a class action lawsuit against mobile phone manufacturers to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers with legal weapons. However, at that time, Apple's compensation was not given to domestic consumers, and it was basically impossible for these domestic mobile phone manufacturers to pay compensation or change the plan.
