Samsung has now been accused of similar behavior. According to a report, Samsung is stifling the performance of around 10,000 games and apps in the top models, including major services such as Instagram and TikTok. The restrictions, or the optimizations for those who are more friendly, is said to depend on the Samsung Game Optimizing Service (GOS).
What makes the whole thing appear insidious is that the performance is not limited in benchmark programs and that benchmarks may therefore not reflect the actual performance. This has caused Geekbench to block all Samsung flagships from Galaxy S10 onwards.
Samsung believes that these are optimizations for games, and just games, to reduce heat generation. The technology giant has promised an update that will provide increased manual control over game performance.
