Samsung’s throttling may have been discovered in the performance of all and older Galaxy S21 smartphones. korean user DISCOVER GaryeonHan Having an app called Game Optimizing Service (GOS). This would give the brand the performance of a Galaxy smartphone throttle, Supposed to save battery power. Samsung has not yet responded to questions from Hardware Info but expects to make a statement tomorrow. according to Blog post on Naver I started an internal investigation into this practice.
Reportedly, GOS affects more than 10,000 diverse applications (listed in this file† It’s about 3000+ games, as well as social media apps, streaming services, Android services, Samsung apps, and practically every other popular form of smartphone app. Surprisingly, but not surprisingly, popular benchmark apps like Geekbench 5, AnTuTu, and 3DMark are not restricted by GOS.
Hardware info was able to confirm that the app is installed anyway on a brand new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and cannot be removed or disabled. On the Galaxy Store, Samsung describes the app as a way to tweak gaming performance when necessary. If the games freeze, GOS will adjust the resolution. Nothing is said about potential performance improvements for apps that don’t fall under the “games” category. according to Android salad The enhancer app is not compatible with galaxy s22 series.
Samsung is not the first to influence smartphone performance in the background. In 2017, Apple was at the center of a major scandal involving iPhone performance degrading when the battery was no longer working optimally.
