    Unscientific Tests of Samsung Game Optimizing Service - "Game" vs "Non-game" apps

    Posted: 04 Mar 2022 12:51 PM PST

    Almost everyone is assuming that the Game Optimizing Service is throttling every one of the 10000+ apps on its internal list, including system apps. This makes no sense to me so I decided to do a little series of tests. I took the APKs for 3DMark and Passmark Mobile Test (two apps whose package names are not on the list at all) and changed their package names to one of the apps listed as a game (com.miHoYo.GenshinImpact), one of the apps listed as a non-game with a 0 in the "fixed" column (com.samsunguk.mygalaxy), and one of the apps listed as a non-game with a 1 in the "fixed" column (us.zoom.videomeetings), and ran each one and tabulated the results versus the original unmodified APK.

    For each modified app, Play Protect complained about being unable to verify the publisher and offered to send the app to Google for examination, as expected. Both of the APKs that were modified to appear as Genshin Impact were recognized by Game Booster and displayed its controls while none of the others were recognized. Once installed, I verified the package name of each app to make sure it was what I intended it to be. All tests were run on my Galaxy S20 5G (Snapdragon, 12GB RAM, 128GB storage, February patch) with no adjustments to the default Game Booster settings. I do have Adaptive Battery turned on. So, for what it's worth, here are the results:

    3DMark Wild Life:

    Test Overall Score Average FPS
    Unmodified 3876 23.2
    Game 2080 12.5
    Non-Game, Fixed 0 3873 23.2
    Non-Game, Fixed 1 3873 23.2

    Passmark Mobile Test:

    Test System CPU Memory Disk 2D 3D
    Unmodified 13894 6834 25707 56500 28737 31143
    Game 11295 5606 16580 95125 21042 21516
    Non-Game, Fixed 0 14160 6989 26021 58390 28102 30443
    Non-Game, Fixed 1 14142 6958 26088 59416 28465 31256

    ​

    As you can see, the only apps that appear to be affected are ones that are marked as "game" in the list, meaning that it's highly unlikely that GOS is throttling everything.

    Review of Galaxy S22 (coming from Pixel 6 Pro)

    Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:44 AM PST

    Pros:

    -truly premium phone build (more so than google has ever put out imo)

    -i like the size (which is just preference)

    -there arent feature breaking bugs (like p6pro had)

    -feels just like a more thought out experience as a whole

    -buttons are much clickier than any other phone i have had

    -way more ui customization options than stock android at this point which is crazy

    -screen is the best ive ever had on a phone 120 hz daddy

    ​

    Cons:

    -battery life is meh (not a deal breaker level but i have had it get down to like 5% one day which was a little scary)

    -android messages bubble color is fugly mint green color for sms and mms (no way to change it)

    -camera on pixel was better but i would say s22 is third behind pixel and iphone (still very acceptable photos)

    -maybe its just a learning curve but the fingerprint sensor is not as great as ppl said it was (only like 75% success rate - could be the screen protector?)

    ​

    Other:

    -OneUI is fine (i prefer stock android but if stock android is buggy like p6 then ill take OneUI)

    -the experience is pretty similar with other android phones bc i still use the google suite of apps rather than the samsung ones
