TL;DR
- A court has ordered Samsung to pay an undisclosed amount to Galaxy S22 owners over its Game Optimizing Service (GOS) feature.
- GOS is a preinstalled feature that limits performance on the Galaxy S22 series during intensive tasks to prevent overheating.
- Owners felt that Samsung was not explicit about what the feature did.
