Geekbench has removed such smartphones from its website, and it has also declared a ban on the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

Samsung has been accused of restricting the performance of various applications and games on its Galaxy S-series handsets, resulting in a fresh scandal. As a result, Geekbench has removed such smartphones from its website, and it has also declared a ban on the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

Although the flagship-series tablet was only recently released, Android Police found it to be guilty of app performance. It put the Galaxy Tab S8+ and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra through its paces. It simply ran the benchmark test using the Geekbench software, then utilized a modified version of Geekbench with the Genshin Impact game's package name. To put it another way, the people deceived the tablets into thinking it was a game rather than a benchmarking program.

Reportedly, the team determined that the faked version's single-core scores were 18 to 24 percent lower than the real version. The reduction in multi-core testing was estimated to be between 6% and 11%. It demonstrates that Samsung throttles the device's performance for gaming against other apps. It also conducted comparable testing on previous tablets but found that they were unaffected by the problem.

Game Optimization Services is a Samsung software that comes pre-installed on all Samsung smartphones (GOS). It was discovered to be the cause of app performance disparities. According to the tests, it does not affect all sorts of apps, and even among those that are, the impact varies. This is something Geekbench noticed right away. It declared that the Galaxy Tab S8 series would be removed from its device benchmark list. Samsung has stated that it would provide an update for the Galaxy S22 family of flagships that will address the issue. However, it has yet to make a statement on tablet prohibition.
