In 2022, with the release of the S22 phone line, Samsung released pre-installed software on their flagship phones, deemed the "Gaming Optimization Service" (GOS). Unbeknownst to the consumer, GOS deliberately throttled their phones under any load across 10,000+ different games and apps.

==Incident==
In 2022, briefly after Samsung released their S22 phone line to the public, Korean consumers were upset after they found out that their phones had software on them that limited the performance capability of their devices. Given as this was implemented unexpectedly by Samsung without the consent of the consumer, the citizens of South Korea rushed to file a class-action lawsuit against Samsung for this discovery.
