Samsung Galaxy S23 series came up with a new feature called “bypass charging” in the Game launcher application. This was a newly introduced feature and was first spotted in the S23 series itself. Now, it looks like the brand is rolling out the feature to other Galaxy devices through an update of the Game launched application. Some older devices like the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold series and others have started grabbing up the feature. The brand has not clarified that which devices are officially supported for this functionality but as of now, more and more devices are getting this feature.
The following report came to the light through an article posted by SamMobiles. They mentioned in their report that many new devices are getting an update of the Game launcher application which brings the “Bypass charging” feature too. This confirms that the feature is not exclusive to the Galaxy S23 series now. As of now, it seems like an unplanned rollout as some devices have received the update while some have not. Further, there is regional variation in the rollout too.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Fold 3, and Z Fold 2 as well as Galaxy S22 devices and the Galaxy A73 5G currently support the feature. If you don’t see this on your device, make sure your Game Launcher software is updated to the most recent version, which is 5.0.03.0. Additionally, there have been claims that the feature only works with a Samsung 45W Power Delivery (PD) charger, however, this is likely just a happenstance and should work with any Power Delivery (PD) charger.
Simply enter the Game Launcher after the update and select the Game Booster options if you want to verify it for yourself. There should be a “Pause USB Power Delivery” option available. Toggle it on if it’s available to enable bypass charging. Just make sure you’re using a PD charger and that your device has a battery life of at least 20%. Additionally, we are still unsure of the feature’s precise purpose. As soon as we learn anything new about this, we’ll let you know. In light of that, what do you think of this?
