Samsung limits the performance of over 10,000 apps on its devices!

It seems that the performance of more than 10,000 apps may be suppressed by the apps installed on Samsung devices. The Android Authority reported.

It was reported that an app called "Game Optimizing Service (GOS)" included in Samsung devices limits the performance of the game and worsens the experience.

However, Korean bulletin board users discovered that games are not the only target for GOS to limit performance, and the target applications are diverse, such as Instagram, Netflix, Chrome and YouTube, and a total of more than 10,000 applications were listed. .. You can check the list of target apps from Garyeon Han's reply below.

In addition, benchmark applications that measure the performance of smartphones such as 3DMark, AnTuTu, GeekBench 5 are not included in this.

According to the video of Mr. 네모 난꿈 of South Korea actually measured, when comparing the score of 3DMark measured as it is and the score when changing the package name to Genshin, which is the target of performance suppression, the score is 2618 It fell from to 1141.

I think it is dishonest for users to not run the benchmark app for measuring the comfort of smartphone operation under the same conditions as other apps.

Although the credibility is uncertain, Samsung has already grasped the situation and has already started investigation, it is considered that this event is the same scale as Galaxy Note 7, and it is reported that there will be some official announcement in the near future. I am.

Such fraud is not uncommon, and in the past, well-known manufacturers such as OPPO and Huawei used methods such as "improve the CPU frequency only while a specific application such as a benchmark application is running", and in recent years the opposite has been done. There was also a case that OnePlus had done for the OnePlus 9 series, such as "significantly limiting performance with major apps such as Chrome." This kind of invisible injustice is a truly unforgivable act. I want you to stop sloppy.

If the user can control the target application, it is really a waste because it can be described as a good function that allows the user to select the balance between performance and power saving.
