5 Of The Best Samsung Galaxy S23 Hidden Features – SlashGear

The Galaxy S23 series is among the most powerful Android smartphones, making them an excellent option for gamers. Thanks to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 based on TSMC’s efficient fabrication technology and relatively large cooling chambers on the phones, they can sustain peak performance for longer durations, allowing gamers to get the most out of the phone. However, there’s one aspect that could slow them — and that’s a dying battery.

For gamers who play for more than four to five hours a day, even the massive 5,000 mAh battery on the Galaxy S23 Ultra will fall short. For them, Samsung has released a new Pause USB Power Delivery feature.

A gaming phone’s feature at its core, Pause USB Power Delivery redirects the incoming power during charging directly to the phone’s CPU, bypassing the battery. Typically, when gamers plug in their phones while playing a game, the CPU unit and the battery heat due to the workload. However, enabling Pause USB Power Delivery prevents the battery from heating up, enhancing the performance in the process.

1. Open the Game Launcher app. 
2. Hit More and select Game Booster.
3. From the available options, enable Pause USB Power Delivery. The feature works when your S23 is plugged in.

Pause USB Power Delivery works not only with Samsung chargers but any USB-PD charger.
