Why it matters:<\/strong> Some people may remember how OnePlus got delisted from Geekbench for manipulating benchmark results and then throttling popular apps and games that were being run on its phones. A similar issue has been observed on some Galaxy phones, but it\u2019s unclear whether Samsung deliberately chose to do this to make its devices look better on paper. <\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S22<\/a> phone lineup launched to generally positive reviews<\/a>, with a familiar design, improved internals, and a gorgeous display being the highlights. However, the software side of things has always been a bit of a mixed bag on Galaxy phones, and this time is likely no different.<\/p>\n

According to several reports, the Korean giant may have been limiting the performance of a large number of apps on some Galaxy phones. As noted<\/a> by Android Authority, over the past few years some manufacturers have used this technique as a way to improve battery life and prevent the SoC from overheating, not to mention manipulate benchmark results<\/a>.<\/p>\n
