- Samsung has reportedly responded over allegations of throttling on its phones.
- The company confirmed that it uses the GOS service to “optimize” CPU and GPU performance.
- It said that a software update will bring a performance priority option in the Game Launcher app.
Samsung was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons yesterday when it emerged that the company could be throttling the performance of thousands of apps on its smartphones.
A list of 10,000 affected apps was posted online, with claims that Samsung was using its Game Optimizing Service (GOS) to facilitate throttling in these programs. Now, the Korean manufacturer has responded to the allegations, seemingly confirming the behavior and saying that changes were afoot.
