I don't feel this is cheating. Sure, I agree there could have been more transparency, but I don't think this amounts to cheating. If Samsung had used this performance limiting feature during testing, and then released phones that didn't have it still citing the better battery numbers, then yes that would be cheating. That's not what's happening here. Is Intel cheating too because their processors can allocate tasks to more performant or efficient cores? Is Intel cheating because they can exceed the TDP ratings when thermal and power constraints allow it? When Volkswagen and other automakers applied different software to cars that were being emissions tested and ones that are driving on the road, that is cheating. This is different imo.
