Samsung isn't liable for damages, but a court still found that it engaged in deceptive labeling.
- A Korean court has ruled that Samsung wasn’t liable for damages after it throttled Galaxy S22 phones.
- However, the court acknowledged that Samsung engaged in “deceptive labeling and advertising that was likely to mislead consumers.”
- Samsung throttled S22 phones out of the box back in 2022 and didn’t let users disable this functionality at first.
Samsung made headlines for all the wrong reasons in early 2022 when it turned out that the company was throttling its Galaxy S22 phones as part of its Game Optimizing Service (GOS) software. Now, a Korean court has largely ruled in Samsung’s favor in a class-action lawsuit.
A Seoul court found (via Yonhap News) that Samsung engaged in “deceptive labeling and advertising that was likely to mislead consumers” by throttling the gaming performance of Galaxy S22 series phones. However, the court also ruled that Samsung wasn’t liable for damages as plaintiffs presented “insufficient evidence” to prove damages.
