Samsung has released a major update to the Game Booster app for Galaxy smartphones and tablets, most likely to prepare it for Android 16-based One UI 8.0. It carries version 7.0.51.13 and brings at least eight new features (via @GalaxyTechie).
Those include Dash Notifications, Game Sound with AI Mute, Max Boost, Respawn Timer, Super Microphone with Bluetooth microphone audio enhancement, Virtual Gamepad, Voice Changer, and 4D Vibration. Let’s take a look at what these features do.
After installing the latest version of Game Booster, when you open the app, it will show you a welcome message along with the ‘Max Boost’ option at the bottom. While Samsung hasn’t said what it does, we are assuming that it offers the maximum performance during gaming for a smoother gameplay. The brand does warn that “In some games, your phone could use more battery or get a little hotter than normal.”
Once you pass the welcome screen, you will see all the Game Booster settings. Here, you will find two new options Respawn Timer and Game Sound. The description for the former says “When waiting for your character to respawn, display a floating timer on your screen that lets you know when you can rejoin your game.” As for the latter, it offers Sound, Mute, and AI Mute. While the first two are self explanatory, the third one is interesting.
Samsung says that AI Mute can “Identify the game screen, implement intelligent mute and volume recovery when you launch the game screen.” From what we could gather, when you are in a game but not playing it, such as when you are browsing a menu, the feature will recognise that (by analysing the content on the screen) and mute audio to avoid disturbances, and when you start playing the game, it will unmute the audio.
In the Reorder Tools section, you will find three new features: Dash Notifications, Super Microphone, and Voice Changer.
The description for Dash Notifications says “Stay updated while you’re immersed in your game with notifications that disappear after crossing the screen.” In other words, when you are playing a game, if you receive a notification, this feature will show it at top of the display for a short period of time and then remove it so that you get the notifications but they don’t distract you a lot. The option also gives you sliders for Speed and Transparency. The former lets you set for long the notification appears and the latter lets you adjust the transparency of the notification container.
As for Super Microphone, it offers two options: Always Keep Mic Available In Game and Switch Bluetooth Mic On. Here’s what the former does: Along with playing game, if you are using any other application that is utilising the microphone, the Always Keep Mic Available In Game will make the microphone available in the game. As for Switch Bluetooth Mic On, if you are using a Bluetooth device for audio, which usually lower quality voice, this feature will improve voice quality.
