Samsung: How the Galaxy S23 with its Game Booster protects the battery when charging

With the Samsung Galaxy S23 the South Korean smartphone manufacturer introduces an exciting function. The Game Booster allows power to be supplied while the battery is left completely cold.

In addition to significant improvements in terms of its processor and battery performance, the Galaxy S23 series comes with the so-called Battery bypass-feature on. With that you can ensure that the smartphone bypasses the battery when you connect the cell phone to its power supply. This is a massive advantage, especially for computing-intensive applications, such as gaming on the new Samsung flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S23: Game Booster protects your smartphone from melting

The YouTuber NL Tech, who has subjected the manufacturer’s Ultra version to some tests, reports on the fresh function of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. He found an option hidden in the smartphone’s system settings called “Pause USB Power Delivery”. This can be found under the “Game Booster” tab, which can also be found in the system settings.

Once activated, the Galaxy S23’s battery will no longer continue to charge once it has broken the 20 percent threshold. Instead, the power supply is now tapped directly from the charger. This not only leads to a fundamental protection of the battery if you continue to use your smartphone while charging, but also to a much lower heat development, since there is no extreme heat source in the form of the battery.

Ultimately, this also means a boost in performance that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip powering the new Samsung Galaxy S23 can deliver. Because thanks to the low heat development, it should be able to maintain its maximum clock frequency for hours without any problems.

Such a feature is definitely not a world first, use manufacturers of gaming smartphones, such as this Asus ROG Phone, such a feature has been around for some time. Nevertheless, occasional gamers should also be happy about the addition of the function and will no longer be afraid of hot hands when gambling with their smartphone. In addition, we reveal which smartphones have proven themselves in our first major test.
