The Android Authority medium has just uncovered one of the most viral pranks of 2022 so far. It is related to Samsung , the performance of its mobiles and 10,000 applications from a list. If you have a Samsung mobile in your hand, this interests you, because the system could be deceiving you in terms of gross performance, benchmarks and some data. We tell you everything that is known so far.
Less performance to have more battery
Three people have come together on Twitter to bring to light a list of 10,000 applications that do not perform 100% on Samsung mobiles . They have shown that the system slows down when these 10,000 apps are running, so it is not used at 100% performance .
And not because the devices can not, but in pursuit of battery life . Samsung reduces the performance in the applications so that the processor and the rest of the components do not spend so much.
What is the problem? Samsung does not report this and it is something that cannot be disabled. The user uses the apps or games thinking that he is squeezing his device to 100%, when the reality is quite different.
Quite an extensive list with a lot of variety
On the list there are 10,000 applications, including apps from Samsung itself, many games, YouTube , Netflix, TikTok, etc. It is not really important in apps like YouTube, but it is in others like games.
The user is never able to squeeze the device to 100% . It is understandable that Samsung wants to offer a balance between performance and autonomy, but not at the cost of misleading users, ignoring information and not having the option to deactivate it in order to take advantage of 100% performance.
Benchmarks are not included in the list
The most curious thing, and the icing on the cake, is that all the most important benchmarks are not included in the list. When you run AnTuTu, for example, the device takes advantage of 100% of the performance and ignores the energy consumption. If you run a game then yes there is throttling and performance drop.
Samsung shows off its chest in the benchmarks, a chest that users cannot replicate when playing most games on the market. The function is so extreme that the users of the experiment have carried out some tests by changing the name of certain apps .
They have passed the 3DMark benchmark with an X score and later they have changed the name of this app to Genshin Impact. The same test, but with 3DMark disguised as a game on the list, resulted in a much lower score: 2,618 points vs. 1,141 points.
It cannot be disabled and Samsung hides it
Samsung at no time informs users of this. Nor does it give the option to disable this balance of battery and performance to be able to play at the highest level. Samsung has gone to work to investigate the problem. As if they don’t know what it is…
What we believe is that Samsung has been caught red-handed . They are using a quite drastic performance reduction that directly affects users and that they have hidden at all costs. How about this?
