How Does Samsung Game Booster Work?

Game boosters are apps that run behind the scene when you play the game on your smartphone. The main task of game booster is to make your game play better by monitoring how the game is running on your device and uses this data, monitors the temperature and memory to automatically adjust your settings of the phone so that you run the game all smooth.

 According to Samsung, Game Booster can also help you keep all of your focus on the game you’re playing. While you’re gaming you can disable Bixby and the Edge panel and even hide notifications to ensure that you get that high score.

Game Booster is therefore a background service that monitors and tunes your hardware when you play mobile games to prevent overheating and maintain consistent performance for your Samsung mobile device.
