content: I just re-formatted my old Samsung Galaxy S3 (replaced it 2 years ago). It's a shit ton slower now than it ever was. Could Samsung be throttling too? Was curious with all this Apple stuff going on, so I took my old Samsung S3 out of a box in storage, reformatted it, booted and rebooted it a couple times, and removed all Samsung apps or anything that could be a slowdown. It takes about 20 seconds just to fully launch the browser, the keyboard lags almost every word, and there's tons of other small slowdowns that I never had during the two years I used the phone. I feel like reformatting should make it "like new" and eliminate any software slowdowns it might have accumulated over the years I used it. So I really can't come up with a logical reason for it to be this slow, unless it's being throttled...... I mean, the hardware worked fine with no lag at all when I was using the phone.
