Exactly, it may have been the right thing to do to downgrade the processor and lower the resolution so that you can stick a smaller battery in there (making the device lighter and smaller) and still get decent battery life. Low to mid-level phone makers have been doing that for ages, so in my book it is not innovation. We will find out soon enough if it was a smart move.
