GOS became a controversy back in 2022 when it was discovered that Samsung was throttling performance in games but not benchmark apps, and the company addressed the issue…

Not to brag or anything, but I have been gaming for decades on different gaming devices, from PCs and consoles, old and new, to smartphones and tablets. And to my surprise, I’m seeing many anti-GOS devotees leaving…

Samsung had previously received severe backlash when it was discovered that its Game Optimizing Service (GOS) was throttling the performance of the Galaxy S22 series.

Last updated: September 28th, 2022 at 14:13 UTC+02:00 From the moment the first Galaxy S23 rumors hit our radar, we assumed that Samsung will want to announce the series in January or February 2023. The next flagship trio should either get unveiled in January like the Galaxy S21 did or borrow the Galaxy S22’s Unpacked schedule and hit the scene in February.
