> I have no problem using slower hardware, on the contrary, it saves battery. This isnt true - a faster phone will reach idle quicker and thus use less energy to accomplish a given task, such as rendering a web page. This particular phone also uses a CPU manufactured at 28nm which is much less power efficient than the modern 7-10nm process current smartphone CPUs use.
