SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics on Friday denied an allegation that the tech conglomerate intentionally slowed down its smartphones and other devices through software updates, raised by the Italian antitrust authority.
The South Korean tech conglomerate made clear that it was not involved in such actions and vowed to cooperate with the authority fully. The Italian Authority for Market and Competition said on Thursday that Samsung, along with Apple, had not told clients that such updates might have a negative impact on the performance of their phones.
