The saga does not end and only gets complicated: Geekbench Mimics all of Samsung’s flagship devices in the last 4 years from its lists forever. Last week it was announced that Samsung has a service called GOS-Game Optimizing Service Designed to improve device performance. The whole function of GOS is to stop the operation of applications which, in his opinion and decision, cause overuse of the battery and lead to unnecessary warming of the device. This service works independently and the user can not decide which apps he wants to optimize and which ones just do not touch them. Samsung is so strict with this service that it includes it as well Applications made by her Like Bixby and not just third-party apps.
Following the publication of many articles on the subject last week, Samsung has announced that it will add an option, in the form of a button, which will allow users to choose which apps will be optimized and which will not. But that has not stopped all the noise and anger that has been directed towards Samsung and now Geekbench is acting against Samsung.
Geekbench is an application that checks the performance of the device and gives it a score for them. All the results are published by them and constitute a kind of measure of the speed and strength of the device. Every manufacturer wants to be on the lists especially with their flagship devices and of course with priority given to having the highest results. Following the announcement of Samsung’s GOS service, Geekbench decided Remove Samsung’s flagship devices from the last four years: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S20 and also Galaxy S10. According to them, Samsung’s action is manipulation for performance testing applications (not just Geekbench) in order to get high results in their lists and therefore it invalid In their eyes.
Removing a device from Geekbench lists is Irreversible And the devices cannot be returned to lists. The same thing happened last year with the OnePlus 9 Pro device when OnePlus was also caught with a similar method so the device was deleted from Geekbench lists forever. Samsung has not responded to Geekbench’s move and it has not yet been announced whether similar apps are going to make a similar move with Samsung’s flagship devices.
