How to use the "Pause USB power delivery" feature

Last Update date : Feb 16. 2024

The Pause USB Power Delivery feature is a direct power supply method for your phone, bypassing the battery during gaming sessions. When enabled with a Power Delivery charger (PPS* supported TA, 25W or higher), it supplies directly to the system, minimizing physical battery charging.

Benefits

  • Improves performance deterioration/throttling caused by device heat.
  • Reduces the possibility of lifespan deterioration due to continuous battery charging in high-temperature situations.

Activation

To enable/disable, follow the below steps.

1. Navigate to the Game Launcher app.

2. Tap on More.

3. Tap on Game Booster.

4. Turn on Pause USB Power Delivery.

Preconditions

  • When a PD charger (PPS* supported TA, 25W or higher) is connected to the device, the option is activated continuously during gaming, then you can enable this feature.
  •  The mode is enabled only when the battery SOC (State of Charge) is ≥ 20 %.

Operating Conditions

  • This feature functions exclusively during gaming activities.
  • It deactivates if the device engages in tasks other than gaming (e.g. display off or screen switched to another task).
  • This feature switches to battery charging when connected to a regular charger or not charging.

Note:

  • PPS (Programmable Power Supply):  an advanced fast-charging technology adjusting the voltage and current based on the device's real-time charging status.
