Some carriers have already halved its price

Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S22 smartphone has be walloped by bad reviews and seen carriers half its price at home in South Korea just weeks since its launch.

While Samsung has an uphill battle when it comes to facing off against the Tame Apple Press, it looks like really has problems with the S22.

Consumers have complained - and even filed a class-action lawsuit - about the handset maker advertising what it called its most powerful smartphone yet with scant detail about performance management software that they say drastically slows the premium device when using processor-intensive applications.

The Korea Fair Trade Commission last month began investigating the world's biggest phone vendor based on these complaints.

At the heart of complaints is Samsung's Game Optimising Service (GOS) which manages device performance during gaming to prevent overheating and preserve battery life. The manufacturer introduced the software in 2016, just months before it pulled its premium Galaxy Note 7 following a series of battery fires.
