One day after HTC and Motorola said that they don't slow down phones with old batteries like Apple does, LG and Samsung have chimed in on the matter as well.

LG and Samsung have said that they also do not slow down phones with aging batteries. LG said that it "never will" do that, while Samsung offered a lengthier statement explaining that it ensures extended battery life using "multi-layer security measures".

Here are the statements that both companies sent to Phone Arena:

LG
"Never have, never will! We care what our customers think."

Samsung
"Product quality has been and will always be Samsung Mobile's top priority. We ensure extended battery life of Samsung mobile devices through multi-layer safety measures, which include software algorithms that govern the battery charging current and charging duration. We do not reduce CPU performance through software updates over the lifecycles of the phone."

Owners of HTC, Motorola, LG, and Samsung devices are likely pleased to hear that their companies don't alter the performance of their phones as the batteries inside them age. We still haven't heard from big names like Google and Sony, but now that more companies have come forward on the matter, maybe that'll change soon.
