Recently, it was found that Samsung Galaxy S22 series of smartphones were limited the performance of certain applications. So now, GeekBench has officially delisted the entire flagship lineup from its database.
For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy S22 series was limiting the performance of more than 1,000 apps. These applications were also the ones that were added to the Game Optimization Service (GOS) list. The GOS is supposed to optimize the performance of these apps and prevent the smartphone from throttling due to thermal issues. However, the GOS was found to be limited the performance of the apps listed on GOS. In other words, they were not utilizing the proper potential of the smartphone’s chipset.
Notably, the list of apps found in the GOS included the likes of Snapchat, LinkedIn, Microsoft Office, and a number of games as well. On the other hand, benchmarking apps like GeekBench and 3DMark were not a part of the list. Although, GeekBench still decided to delist the Galaxy S22 series and some older smartphones from its database on the GeekBench browser due to this GOS issue.
Following this GOS controversy, an GeekBench also conducted an extensive internal testing, which found that older Galaxy models also use GOS. This includes the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S20 series, and even the Galaxy S10 series as well. Thus, all of these smartphone models have been delisted on the known benchmarking platform since they technically manipulate the benchmark’s results. Samsung stated in its defense that the GOS is only meant to prevent heating issues during long gameplay.
