South Korean tech giant Samsungwas on the agenda yesterday with a development that it did not receive good reactions from. Here’s a new step there is.
Samsung, It is installed on some phones, which appeared as a claim at the first stage yesterday, but as it became clear later on. Game Optimizing Service (GOS) It throttles the performance of up to 10 thousand applications. There is a list for these applications and the process does not only cover games, as we said yesterday. 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 been throttled 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, battery – performance – fluidity-specific optimization 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 today. 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. When this mode is turned on, the phones will consume more than the battery, but they will reveal all the performance.

We conveyed this yesterday. One company had a bigger reaction on this issue, and it was OnePlus, one of the BBK names. To briefly recall OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, AnandTech due to a situation found by Geekbench was removed from the lists. AnandTech, revealed that the phones set application-specific performance limits in terms of 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.
A further comment on this OnePlus, said that more performance is not allocated to certain applications, and this is not necessary. In other words, when the required fluency is provided, the performance is slightly reduced, thus saving energy.
