Oh, oh, oh Samsung, up to their usual tricks.

Samsung phones ship with a Game Optimizing Service app pre-installed as
a system app - we confirmed it's installed on the Galaxy S22+, as
pictured below. It cannot be disabled. The app's exact purpose isn't
described very well anywhere, but its name certainly implies the app is
used to improve performance for games.
However, as one Twitter user points out, with the backing of a lengthy
thread from frustrated Samsung Galaxy owners in Korea (via Android
Authority), Samsung seems to be using this app to "optimize" the
performance of thousands of non-gaming apps. When an app is in the Game
Optimizing Service list, its performance is limited, as demonstrated by
a YouTuber who changed the package name of the 3DMark benchmark app to
trick Samsung's software into throttling it, and the results are pretty
telling.

In and of itself there';s really nothing wrong with managing the
performance of various applications in order to preserve battery life.
However, it has to be done transparently and openly, so that users can
easily see what';s going on and disable any optimisations they';re not
interested in. This kind of obfuscation by Samsung is deception, and
simply should not be allowed.
