![]() ![]() Instead, it came out like they are cheating. If OnePlus told users they do such optimizations to improve battery life and still give good performance where it matters and maybe even a toggle to turn this off entirely, then there would be no problem. It is done with good intentions, but is misinterpreted because of bad communication between company and users. I'd say this has the same issue as Apple's "battery gate" drama. Which I'd very much welcome more than just dumb task killers that Chinese vendors obsess over so much in general and which you can't turn off in most cases, just disable and hope they're really off (which usually isn't the case). If that was in fact the case, then it's actually real optimization and not cheating. The software and OS control the hardware (consists of Chipsets, LCD/AMOLED Display, Battery+Consumption, Throttling, and Cooling systems if they have or no. Others, like the Meizu Pro 6 Plus and other unnamed handsets, still cheat in tests.But is it really cheating? What's the point in giving some light load or background apps full throttle power of the X1 core which is by far the most power hungry? Or limiting some social network app that can't possibly ever need all the full grunt from the chipset (and which are all listed as ones that are throttled)? Just so it clocks to stupid speeds and eats battery faster? I'd be more interested in seeing if full power was given to benchmarks (why would one limit benchmarks?!) and lets say games or apps that actually require full raw compute power. It discovered that handsets from HTC, Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, Google, Sony, and others do not engage in benchmark cheating. Using the custom-built benchmark tool, xda was then able to test other phones. In case you are wondering, all the OnePlus 5 review units handed out to tech bloggers alter the benchmark scores of a particular (benchmarking) app by keeping the CPU running at the maximum frequency. The OnePlus 3T was idling at 0.31 GHz, the way it does in most apps, rather than at 1.29 GHz for the big cores and 0.98 GHz for the little cores like it does in the regular Geekbench app. Primate Labs then built a special version of Geekbench 4, so it could test the OnePlus 3T and prove the cheat - unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what happened. Earlier this year, OnePlus alongside Meizu were caught cheating on the benchmark scores for their flagship handsets. Most notably, the OnePlus 3T was looking for Geekbench, AnTuTu, Androbench, Quadrant, Vellamo, and GFXBench,” xda wrote. ![]() “The initial testing included a ROM dump which found that the OnePlus 3T was directly looking for quite a few apps by name. moreIt's cheating when you are forcibly entering a mode that is unattainable under any normal condition (i.e., if the app id weren't a known benchmark tool it would never achieve such performance. The inclusion of the OnePlus 6T on the nice list is worth highlighting last year, the company was caught gaming Geekbench and other benchmark apps. The first was sent to XDA Developers, and. ![]() It set out to prove it by partnering with Primate Labs, makers of Geekbench benchmark tests, who confirmed their worries. Update (June 23, 2017): Since the publication of this article, OnePlus has responded with several comments regarding the allegations of benchmark fixing. “Our hypothesis was that OnePlus was targeting these benchmarks by name, and was entering an alternate CPU scaling mode to pump up their benchmark scores,” xda said. In the ensuing investigation, the site discovered that certain apps on the OnePlus 3T were keeping the CPU running at higher frequencies even if there was no load. Strengths Low cost smart phone with High Specs, one. It’s when GPU benchmarks are run that the heat becomes too much the back of the phone. Place OnePlus smartphones can only be purchased online and are sold exclusively on. While analyzing why the new Snapdragon 821 processor is opening apps faster, xda-developers found that the OnePlus 3T was behaving in a way not common to other handsets using the same chip, namely the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and the Google Pixel 2. Interestingly, in CPU-only benchmarks like Geekbench, the OnePlus 5 didn’t heat up that much faster. ![]()
