Samsung’s upcoming flagship series might revolutionize mobile gaming performance with a new feature called “Game Assist,” according to recent industry leaks. The information, shared by tech insider @Jukanlosreve, suggests Samsung is developing sophisticated frame interpolation technology for its next-generation smartphones.
The reported Game Assist feature aims to deliver smoother gameplay by effectively doubling the perceived frame rate without additional power consumption. This technology would enable games capped at 60 frames per second to appear as if running at 120 Hz, taking full advantage of the devices’ high refresh rate displays.
The system is expected to utilize Qualcomm’s AFME 2.0 (Advanced Frame Motion Engine) technology, which promises to generate additional frames while maintaining visual quality and power efficiency. While this technology is available in devices featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, including the current Galaxy S24 series, its full implementation appears reserved for the upcoming S25 lineup.
Hardware Considerations
Industry sources indicate the Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely feature Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. However, uncertainty surrounds the processor choices for the standard S25 and S25 Plus models. These devices might ship with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 processor in certain markets, potentially affecting the availability of the Game Assist feature.
Software Compatibility
While the gaming optimization feature may be introduced alongside Samsung’s OneUI 7 software update, there’s no confirmation whether this technology will be available for existing Samsung devices through software updates, even if they receive the OneUI 7 upgrade.
The introduction of Game Assist could represent a significant advancement in mobile gaming performance, though official confirmation from Samsung is still pending.
