Samsung One UI 7 To Let Users Turn Thermal Throttling Off If They Want, Claims Tipster

If enabled, this One UI 7 option could let users bypass the usual safeguards, potentially enhancing gaming performance by delivering higher frame rates and minimizing lag.

Last month, Samsung unveiled its newest operating system, One UI 7, built on Android 15. The excitement around the update is building, with hints that a beta release could drop later this month. Now, a new tip suggests that One UI 7 might introduce a surprising feature: the ability for users to manually turn off thermal throttling.

This built-in feature typically safeguards a smartphone’s internal components and extends its lifespan by managing heat, but soon, users may have the option to control it themselves.

Samsung One UI 7 New Feature: Control Over Thermal Throttling

Tipster @chunvn8888 recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) about a hidden setting in One UI 7’s Developer Options called "Disable Thermal Throttling." This feature appears to allow users to manually control thermal throttling—a safety mechanism that reduces processor speed to prevent overheating and potential internal damage.

If enabled, this One UI 7 option could let users bypass the usual safeguards, potentially enhancing gaming performance by delivering higher frame rates and minimizing lag, though it might increase the risk of overheating.

Interestingly, a similar function was briefly accessible in early versions of One UI 6 through Samsung’s Device Health Manager Service via third-party apps, but it was reportedly removed in later updates.

Samsung One UI 7 Release: What Do We Know

Samsung has yet to announce an official release schedule for One UI 7, but the company has confirmed that the beta version of its latest OS will be accessible to all users, not just developers. Samsung Members app will alert users once the beta rollout begins.

Built on Android 15, One UI 7 is designed with three main principles in mind: intentional simplicity, distinct aesthetics, and a sense of emotional connection. Samsung claims the OS is crafted to intuitively respond to user needs while reducing complexity. Despite these new enhancements, One UI 7 will retain the familiar design elements that Galaxy users have come to recognise over the years.
