Don't practice this illegal activity.. why woth update the performance is deteriorating?

Solve or next time the same will be escalated to NATIONAL CONSUMER HELPLINE. 

A detailed response is requested in this regard from the ADMIN.

This is an untold industry practice. You will not get any valid response from anyone. There are multiple reasons for doing this.
1. Battery age and health.
2. Processor getting old and slow.
3. Many features need more juice (processing power) old device can't match it so it slows down.
4. They will intentionally degrade camera quality. So newer phones with same camera sensor picture looks better then old. This samsung is doing for ages. I recently switched to S26ultra from S22Ultra. The portrait photo taken in S22Ultra when phone was launched and one taken in S26ultra are pretty close but the pic I took before switch to S26ultra if worst one possible.
