South Korean tech giant Samsung, GOS does not fall off the agenda. This time Geekbench side took a step.
For those who don’t know Samsung, installed on some phones Game Optimizing Service (GOS) over full up to 10 thousand It throttles the performance of the application. There is a list for these apps, and the process doesn’t just cover games. Microsoft Office applications, Netflix, Google Keep, TikTok and Samsung’s own applications such as Secure Folder, Cloud, Pay and Pass are also on the list. Performance tests such as 3DMark, Antutu, PCMark, GFXBench and GeekBench 5 are included in the list of applications that have reduced performance according to the tests. not taking. In other words, in performance tests, the power of the phones is used to the fullest, while in other applications, optimization in battery – performance – fluency trio is being done.
Since this situation caused a reaction and users were not given the opportunity to choose in the process, a step back was taken recently. Samsung made the official announcement and announced that GOS optimizes GPU and CPU for apps/games and a “performance” mode will be coming to GOS soon.
Geekbench, which does not wait for this mode that will open the power until the end, has announced that all the devices detected using GOS today. Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 banned the series phones and inferred from its own conclusions. rightfully within the company a fair performance database wants to create. Phones are normally required to run at their maximum power as well as Geekbench, and steps like GOS are seen as a “cheat”.

AnandTech, revealed that the phones set application-specific performance limits in software. behind this increase battery life without notifying the user and lowering the high temperature.

The phones gave high performance in some synthetic tests, but this performance was limited in software for some other applications and tests. Stating that they did this in line with the feedback from the users, the company stated that they combined the fluid experience with low energy consumption and low heat in this way. OnePlus When the reactions increased, he had to take a step back in this regard.
