On the Geekbench site, where you can objectively see the scores of smartphones all over the world according to their hardware, Samsung has manipulated the scores of the phones of the Galaxy series. How Does? Let’s see.
South Korean giant Samsung, one of the largest Android phone developers in the world, was not as innocent as we thought. On the Geekbench site, Samsung says that you can see the scores of smartphones all over the world in an ‘objective’ way compared to their hardware. It has made a small change in the scores of the Galaxy S22 series.
According to Geekbench, as a result of this event, the scores of the devices belonging to the Samsung Galaxy S22, S21, S20 and S10 series will be removed from Geekbench. Galaxy Note and A series devices will be excluded from this policy.
Samsung manipulated Geekbench
The reason why Geekbench took this action is the feedback that the Samsung Game Optimization Service (GOS) software in Samsung’s One UI 4 restricts the performance of thousands of applications to preserve performance and increase battery life. In independent tests, There is a decrease in performance in games such as Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile.
‘How does the manipulation happen?’ If you say, you can do these tests without running GOS on Samsung flagships. It scores high on Geekbench and it throttles performance when the job comes to use. This leads to fraud.

Geekbench on the subject “Earlier this week, we heard about Samsung’s Game Optimization Service (GOS) and how it reduces the performance of games and apps. GOS is a system that decides to throttle the performance of applications by using application descriptors, not application behavior. We see this as a form of benchmark manipulation, as major benchmarking apps, including Geekbench, are not constrained by this service.” made a statement.
Samsung, on the other hand, brought an update to this situation. assured that it will be resolved. But still, Geekbench’s current policy is that even after a patch that fixed the issue, manipulated devices will be permanently delisted. Therefore, none of the phones removed today will be re-listed on the site. Samsung did not provide a time frame information on when this update could reach users.
