![]() On July 7, OnePlus responded via a statement explaining that: "This resulted in some really weird benchmark scores that paint the OnePlus 9 Pro as an affordable smartphone from the early 2010s with horrible performance," Anandtech's investigation piece read, which I urge you to read. Specifically, the OnePlus 9 Pro appeared to disable the Cortex-X1 core when running the flag apps, with the smartphone throttling the Cortex-A78 cores in some cases or even isolating workload on the Cortex-A55 cores.īy doing so, workloads for these apps were considerably slowed down by up to 20% of the SoC's normal performance based on the tests conducted by our colleagues in the industry. In a long article that was supported by benchmarks and other results, Anandtech demonstrated that the OnePlus 9 Pro did flag some popular apps such as Twitter or Chrome in order to limit the performance of the Snapdragon 888 when running those apps. On July 6, a widely recognized and authoritative specialist site Anandtech discovered serious slowdowns on the OnePlus 9 Pro. BGR India has reached out to Meizu for its response.First things first though. To put in simpler words, the big cores may not kick-in even when you re running graphics intensive games, but certainly be activated only after detecting benchmark apps. However, in case of the Pro 6, Meizu seems to have kept the big cores idle, until a benchmark app is detected. Ideally, the big cores are expected to give a performance boost when additional processing is required. Meizu, on the other hand, modified its big cores to activate whenever benchmarking apps were detected. The trigger process for benchmarking apps will not be present in upcoming OxygenOS builds on the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. The company said, in order to give users a better user experience in resource intensive apps and games, especially graphically intensive ones, we implemented certain mechanisms in the community and Nougat builds to trigger the processor to run more aggressively. Talking about the matter, OnePlus provided a statement to XDA developers saying it will stop cheating. ALSO READ: This is Not a OnePlus 3T Review XDA-Developers also pointed out that while running a disguised version of Geekbench 4 with a different name, the OnePlus 3T failed to trigger the high-performance mode. OnePlus has also hard-coded a list of benchmark apps such as AnTuTu, Androbench, Quadrant, Geekbench,GFXBench and Vellamo, right into its firmware. However, when benchmarking apps are detected, the processing power of the small coreswere set to increase to 0.98GHz and bigger cores to 1.29GHz. OnePlus programmed both the small and big processor cores to remain idle at 0.31GHz when running non-benchmarking tools.

The rigged processing performance was observed by monitoring differences in CPU activity when running benchmark apps and regular apps. Same sort of tweaking has also been done on OnePlus 3, and Meizu Pro 6 as well.

Now, once again a group of developers on XDA Developers forums have caught OnePlus and Meizu red-handed cheating on benchmarks. ![]() Soon after the findings, benchmarking site ‘Futuremark’ had delisted Samsung’s and HTC’s devices. Back in 2013, several handset manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC and LG were caught cheating in benchmarks by cranking up the performance to get higher scores. ![]() While benchmarks reveal key performance aspects, they aren t highly reliable, and real-world performance may be completely different. Smartphones are getting powerful with every new chipsets, and of the ways to gauge their performance is by running synthetic benchmarks. ![]()
