We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation as major benchmark applications, including Geekbench, are not throttled by this service. GOS decides to throttle (or not to throttle) applications using application identifiers and not application behavior. In a statement provided to Android Police, Geekbench said the following: Earlier this week, we were made aware of Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS) and how it throttles the performance of games and applications.

Furthermore, Samsung hasn’t even said when it will release the update that will give users the ability to prioritize performance. This includes the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S21 FE. Even when Samsung releases the update that will allow users to prioritize performance to have a “normal” experience, all of the Galaxy S22, S21, S20, and S10 devices will still remain delisted. Today we delisted these handsets from the Android Benchmark chart on the Geekbench Browser.Ĭurrently, Geekbench policy is that once a device is delisted from its device browser, there’s no coming back. Samsung has since said that it will give users the choice to prioritize performance in an upcoming update, but it’s too little, too late, as Geekbench has now delisted the last four years of Galaxy flagships from its benchmark browser. The most recent of which surrounds the company’s Game Optimization Service, which reportedly throttles approximately 10,000 applications. However, that hasn’t stopped it from facing its own set of controversies. The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is clearly a hit, with pre-order sales through the roof.
