Does Samsung GOS only work when playing games?

Among those who have encountered this situation and searched for related content, there are responses saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't play games," but that's not the case at all. The developer of Gigbench cited that regular apps (Instagram) were influenced by GOS, which means that Samsung has some way to limit the performance of regular apps, and that it can be applied without notifying users.

For example, suppose Samsung controls the entire phone by removing the now-famous name Game from GOS and evolving it into a Total Optimizing Service (TOS). A similar incident was Apple's Battery Gate. According to this article, Samsung claims that Apple's battery gate is better than Apple's battery gate, saying, "There was a problem that could be solved by software updates." 

However, this is the opposite. Apple had a clear standard of less than 80% battery efficiency, because Samsung currently has a collective application of GOS to all phones without him. What if Samsung decides to control all apps and force TOS on all phones? Apple was able to solve the problem by replacing the battery for money, but in the case of Samsung, it is impossible to solve the problem forever unless it changes the device to a third-party non-Samsung smartphone.

Furthermore, it can be exploited for planned outdated practices such as Sony Timer and Battery Gate. This is because performance restrictions can be strongly imposed as soon as the warranty period is over, or paid AS or device changes can be induced by always overclocking to cause high battery consumption and heat generation problems.

The way GOS operates is also a problem, and the principles and mechanisms of the GOS item have been clearly revealed so far are as follows.

1. Samsung has created an app name database, of which it detects when an app corresponding to a game is launched. 

2. Get the appropriate policy for the game from the server.

3. Restrict the equipment according to the policy.

At this time, concerns are as follows.

What if it was a game that would unconditionally limit the performance and then adjust the details? 

Samsung may accidentally or intentionally classify certain apps as games to prevent them from performing properly. In other words, it means that all apps can be controlled according to Samsung's taste.

Even if it's a game, what if you have to load a specific setting from the server to limit it? 

At this time, it will rarely "by mistake" designate other apps as games. Because the setting value of the app must be set on the server, it is necessary to make a double mistake of classifying the DB as a game and putting the setting value on the server.

However, it means that Samsung will apply "different settings" to each game at will, so in other words, it means that it can limit the driving of each game differently according to Samsung's taste. In particular, Samsung operates its app store, so in the extreme, it may impose driving restrictions on all games that are not in its store.

▶︎In other words, looking at the driving method of GOS that has been revealed so far, it is a very, very serious problem either way.
