Samsung explained in a FAQ section the Galaxy S22 GOS throttling issue, indicating that a software update should fix it.
“GOS is a service that monitors the state of the phone and provides the optimal state to prevent stuttering, excessive performance degradation, and power consumption when running game apps,” Samsung explains in the FAQ section.The company immediately denies claims that GOS affects the performance of non-game apps on the Galaxy S22 and other phones.
That’s a mind-boggling claim, as the list doesn’t include only game titles. Also unclear is how that list helps the phone determine whether an app is a game. After all, app stores contain. In the case of the Android app store, there are nearly 3.5 million apps in Google Play. The benchmark tool is not a gaming app and is therefore not covered by GOS. Only in the case of game apps, there was a part where the temperature was set In a direction that does not increase excessively when using heavy games in consideration of specificity and sustained usability.
Samsung also explains it has been using GOS on phones predating the Galaxy S22. In fact, it’s been using the tool since 2016. But the release of One UI 4.0 made it impossible to circumvent GOS throttling. Samsung plans to reinstate the features that let users block GOS throttling on the Galaxy S22 and other phones. That’s the good news.
