Samsung is rolling out a Galaxy S22 update to undo the performance limit in games following the GOS fiasco.
Samsung has been limiting the performance of its phones lately. The South Korean tech company attributes its decision to slow down its phones to thermal management and battery efficiency.
The games did not run efficiently because the CPU and GPU performance was limited via the GOS (Game Optimization Service). Moreover, Samsung’s Game Booster app that runs in the background also limited the CPU and GPU performance, as per a report by SamMobile.
