This was ostensibly intended to conserve battery life. Going into detail, in 2021, OnePlus admitted that the company was limiting the OnePlus 9’s capabilities while popular apps were being used. But be that as it may, Samsung is not alone in this matter. Now it has become known that the game optimization service is also present in the Galaxy S22 series.Īnd while the exact range of smartphones running this very service is not clear at the moment, it is still known that the corresponding software exists on older phones from the company, such as, for example, the entire Galaxy S21 and S20 FE line. Users, if you are not aware, have accused Samsung of slowing down the performance of various non-gaming software such as Netflix and TikTok by disabling limits for benchmarks such as 3DMark and GeekBench, which skews expectations about real speed. According to the company, the service “does not manage” applications other than games. However, Samsung has already been able to dispute claims regarding the company’s game optimization service that it limited up to 10,000 apps in various categories. It should also be immediately noted that, as part of his statement to the authoritative publication Engadget, a Samsung official said that this change will appear in the “unspecified future” as a response to both feedback and “thorough consideration” from various regulatory bodies.
Going into details, The Verge reports that the company has promised to update its game optimization service with the very goal of giving users much more control over throttling. The South Korean tech giant, Samsung, has been reported to at least partly address complaints about slow app performance on some Galaxy series smartphones.
