🎮 The Ultimate Guide to Samsung Game Booster

Level up your mobile gaming like a pro.

If you’ve got a Samsung phone and you love gaming, Samsung Game Booster is your secret weapon. It’s a built-in feature that helps you block distractions, boost performance, and customize your gaming experience. Whether you’re going all-in on PUBG Mobile or casually grinding in Candy Crush, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

📍 How to Access Game Booster Settings

It’s easy:

1. Open your Settings.
2. Tap the Search icon (usually in the top right).
3. Type in “Game Booster settings” and tap the result.

Boom, you’re in.

🚫 Block During Game

This section is all about keeping your gameplay distraction-free. Here’s what you can block:

• Notifications – No more annoying popups or calls mid-fight. (Important: exceptions for allowed apps still apply.)
• Auto Brightness – Stops sudden screen dimming that throws off your aim.
• Bixby – Keeps Samsung’s voice assistant from barging in uninvited.
• Edge Panel – Disables the side panel to avoid accidental swipes.
• Priority Mode – This is the full-on “do not disturb” for gaming. Slide up the nav bar in-game, tap the Game Booster icon, and activate it for total focus.

📝 Pro tip: Priority Mode is great for long gaming sessions when you don’t want texts or alarms cutting in.

✋ Auto Touch Protection

Ever paused a game accidentally with your palm? This one’s for you.

• Set the timing for when touch protection kicks in (or turn it off completely).
• Enable Power saving during protection to help your battery last longer while the screen is locked down.

⚡ Shortcut Bar

Need quick access to tools mid-game? The Shortcut Bar’s your buddy.

• Floating shortcut – A pop-up style control. Handy, but may trigger the nav bar often.
• Bottom shortcut icon – A small, movable button. Tap it to open a customizable panel with:
  • Navigation button
  • Screenshot button
  • Pop-up panel
  • …and more

🛠 I prefer the bottom shortcut icon – feels more stable and less intrusive.

📸 Screenshot Settings

Get that epic kill or cool moment captured just the way you like.

• Choose your screenshot resolution: 100%, 50%, or 25%.
• Set your preferred screenshot format (PNG or JPG, depending on device).

🔧 Game Optimization Modes

Optimize how your phone handles games based on your needs:

• Standard – Balanced mix of performance and battery life.
• Battery Saver – Great for casual gaming and long sessions.
• Performance – Max power for smoother gameplay, but may heat up your phone and drain battery faster.

⚙️ I use Performance Mode for intense games like Call of Duty or Genshin Impact – totally worth it.

🧪 Labs (Experimental Features)

Try this if your phone heats up or lags during games:

• Alternate game performance management – Helps control heat and may smoothen out performance. It’s experimental, so your results may vary.

🧙‍♂️ Bonus: Developer Options & Extra Tweaks

Want to go deeper? Here’s what some tech-savvy users do:

• Enable Developer Options:
  • Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information.
  • Tap Build Number seven times.
• Inside Developer Options:
  • Enable Force 4x MSAA – improves graphic rendering (at a battery cost).
  • Set Game graphics driver to “System Graphics Driver.”
• Try a third-party app like Game Turbo Unlimited Booster to manage ping and memory optimization (downloaded via external link).

⚠️ This part isn’t directly part of Samsung’s Game Booster, but it’s popular with hardcore mobile gamers.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Samsung Game Booster isn’t just fluff – it genuinely helps smooth out your gaming experience and puts you in control. Whether you want distraction-free gameplay, better screenshots, or more performance under the hood, it’s all here.
