What Samsung Game Booster is
Samsung Game Booster is a free Android app for Galaxy phone gaming. It lets players choose performance behavior, including Performance, Balanced, and Focus on power saving, and can provide automatic recommendations and per-game profiles. Individual game controls may cover optimisation level, FPS, screen resolution, and frame booster settings. Resolution can be set to 25, 50, or 100 percent, while some models offer a low-refresh option that limits games to 48 Hz. A performance overview displays current temperature, memory use, and battery level. During play, an in-game panel opens selected outside apps, with four app slots that users can customize. Shortcuts include touch lock, navigation button lock, screenshots, and the panel itself. Game Booster can adjust alerts and other interruptions, including Do not disturb through Modes and Routines. Samsung describes it as separate from Gaming Hub, while the two work together. Availability, screens, and settings vary by game, device, software version, country, and region.
