Most Android phones would have a manual toggle to enable battery save features. It effectively slows down the CPU, lower the display brightness, disable certain network connections, and so on. More importantly, these require user intervention and the battery save mode can be disabled even if you're down to the last 5%.
I never find this a big deal. Obviously a 4 year old phone would struggle to run a recent software. Tska batteries wear out naman talaga, especially if you drain it regularly.

The Xperia Z5's Snapdragon 810 was also throttled down in Android 6.0 due to overheating, but performance significantly improved sa 7.0.

Yan siguro ang downside ng longer update cycle, my old iPhone 4 is almost unusable sa iOS 7, pang call/text na lang talaga.
