Samsung's post-Galaxy S10 series and Galaxy Tab S8 will be permanently expelled from the Geekbench chart.

Samsung's GOS issue has also reached the ears of Geekbench developers. Upon encountering this, the developer expressed his personal opinion that he did not like this behavior. Since then, the developer has confirmed that there has been a decrease in performance as a result of turning the Geekbench, which changed the package name to the "Genshin Impact" app using the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S22. He seems to have started a thorough investigation afterwards, saying he spent the afternoon checking all his phones.

Geekbench's response to GOS issues

Korean Subsnews's Omokgyo Electronics Shopping Team conducted a video interview with Geekbench's developer and said that Geekbench took the issue very seriously and understood GOS' intentions to some extent, but that it would be permanently removed from the charts. He added, "Even if we return to normal, there will be no correction because we have already lost credibility." It said it is considering deleting benchmark results from previous series affected by GOS, including the Galaxy S22 series.

Geekbench's decision

Eventually, on March 5, Geekbench announced that it would remove all models from the Galaxy S10 to S22 from the benchmark chart. Not only the main model but also derivatives such as Lite and FE were excluded. It is confirmed that the models have been excluded from the Android benchmark chart, and if you scroll to the bottom of the chart, you can check the list of devices that have been kicked out.

GOS decides to throttle (or not to throttle) applications using application identifiers and not application behavior.

Additional Samsung Products Get Off the Geekbench Chart

Geekbench developers said they are testing other devices that have not yet been registered, and that they have already lost trust in those that have been removed from the charts, so removing Cheating with patches in the future will never cancel permanently and other Galaxy products are also. Later, on March 6, the company also tested several devices in the Galaxy Note series, including the Note 10 and Note 20, but said it did not find out the circumstances of Throttling's situation. Geekbench's official Twitter account, as shown in the sub-doubt document, is also likely to have been adjusted in real time. Afterwards, the Galaxy Tab S8 series was tested, and it was judged as benchmark cheating, and the series was also removed from the chart.

When Geekbench developers said they couldn't reproduce S10's scores 

We measured throttling on our devices(including two S10 handsets) on March 3. It's possible Samsung has removed throttling on those devices since then.

He replied, "There is a possibility that it may have actually been adjusted."

Xiaomi also has a GOS issue?

On the other hand, there are cases where Xiaomi's "game turbo" plug-in is also claimed to have a GOS, but Xiaomi's case is completely different from Samsung's GOS. While GOS degrades game performance and resolution, Xiaomi's game turbo is a plug-in that optimizes and provides a variety of additional features to make the game really smoother. In the first place, whether you turn on or off the game turbo on a Xiaomi device, there is little (or no) variation on the benchmark, and above all, the feature is notified to the user and the user can turn it on and off as much as possible. Therefore, in any way, it is different from GOS.

Additionally, on March 15, all Galaxy Tab S8 series products (WiFi, 5G) [16] following the Galaxy S series were permanently removed from the Geekbench list and added to the exit list for the first time among tablets. The reason is the benchmark cheating act of making performance decisions based on identifiers, not app behavior, as above.

What is the list of companies that have been kicked out of Geekbench so far?

Prior to the listing of Samsung's Galaxy, there were three OnePlus devices, five Huawei and one Xiaomi on the list of Geekbench exits, and all of these devices were manufactured in China. Then, Samsung devices, which were kicked out due to the GOS case, totaled 37 devices, including the Galaxy Tab S8 series, and there are only nine types of those Chinese companies combined, falling short of Samsung's toes. In other words, Samsung's flagship products account for more than 80% of the exit devices. As a result, Samsung won the disgrace of being the only non-Chinese company and the largest number of devices on the exit list as a single brand.
