On March 3, 2022, South Korea and Chosun Biz reported that they were preparing a class action lawsuit against users of the Galaxy S22, which was released last month, claiming they were deceived by Samsung. According to the article, a community site called "GalaxyGOS class action preparation room" was opened on the 2nd day before, and as of this afternoon, more than 550 members have joined. The "GOS (game optimization service)" that members are concerned about is the number of frames per second of the device (the number of screen images that change in one second) when driving a mobile application game application that requires high performance. ) and graphics processing unit (GPU) performance is intentionally reduced to optimize the state of the device. Regarding the necessity of GOS, Samsung said, "When the device performs at its maximum, it heats up, but due to the characteristics of the game, it is often kept in this state for a long time. There is a risk of the battery exploding, so it is a safety device to prevent this.” Previous Galaxy smartphone models also had GOS, but there was a way around it. However, since the OneUI 4.0 update, the detour has been cut off, and GOS has been applied absolutely. In response to this turmoil, Samsung has indicated its position that "the decision to install GOS is based on the judgment that safety is the top priority," but it is said to take seriously the growing controversy. In addition, in response to the allegation that it was wrong to block GOS detours without advance notice, the company responded that there was no obligation to notify. ),” he said. On the 10th of last month, Samsung released three models of the Galaxy S22 series, "the most powerful Galaxy S series" and "the first 4-nanometer processor installed in a Galaxy smartphone, allowing you to enjoy powerful performance in various situations such as work and daily life. I can do it," he introduced. In response to this, on the Korean Internet, "Were you deceiving consumers?", "I bought a sports car that can run at 300 kilometers per hour, but there was a speed limit," "I will never buy Samsung products again," and "Is it just a game? You've also put restrictions on other apps such as SNS, Youtube, and Netflix." "Since the Galaxy Note 3, smartphones, tablets, and watches are all using Samsung. I want you to take some measures." . Also, "iPhone is good for playing games. The only good thing about Samsung smartphones is compatibility." "If iPhone even supports call recording function, I will switch immediately." Even though it's a rival to the iPhone?", there were also many voices comparing it with the iPhone, and there were also voices calling out, "This is a boycott of Samsung smartphones! Everyone who made a reservation should cancel it and go to the iPhone!" (Translation/Editing/Matsumura)
