A striking news shared about Samsung the other day, it was claimed that the performance of applications on the company’s Galaxy model phones was limited. Moreover, the number of applications with limited performance was more than 10 thousand. Above that, limits were imposed even on Google and Samsung’s own primary apps.
Samsung’s own app, Game Optimization Service, which ships with all Galaxy smartphones today, was responsible for these limitations. Evidence uncovered by the South Korean community showed that Samsung was not limiting performance measurement apps Geekbench and 3DMark. This shows the performance of phones higher on paper, but the performance was reduced with artificial limitation. Here comes the expected statement from Samsung today.
Samsung has tacitly confirmed that it is limiting the performance of apps:
The list of apps where Samsung is limiting app performance, even the Camera app is available.
Samsung shared the curious details about the Game Optimization Service application, which is highly discussed today. The company stated that this application optimizes the performance of the processor and graphics unit to solve heating problems during long gaming activities. While the company did not disclose that the applications are directly limited, it announced that the ‘performance priority’ option will be added to the Game Optimization Service application.
While the company’s statement was limited to this, another claim was made about Samsung. According to the claim in question, Samsung was aware that the applications were limited and launched an investigation within the company regarding this. Other claims are that the company added this feature to improve battery life.
A similar event with Samsung also showed itself in OnePlus 9 Pro last year. The company had restricted the performance of popular Android applications with its application called ‘OnePlus Performance Service’. He then explained that they made this application for heat management and to improve the battery life of the phone.
