Today’s piece fits within this class of articles, and more specifically covers OnePlus’ newest OnePlus 9 Pro flagship phone, and how its performance behaviour indeed manages to be extremely unique in the current mobile landscape.

They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android BenchmarksĮvery now and then, these topics always resurface as vendors attempt to “differentiate” their devices amongst the crowd – it’s a repeated process which unfortunately by now no longer really surprises us when it happens.Huawei & Honor's Recent Benchmarking Behaviour: A Cheating Headache.Mobile Benchmark Cheating: When a SoC Vendor Provides It As A Service.In the past, when this relationship between benchmarks and real-world apps was broken, we’ve always attempted to expose such behaviour in order to have the vendors correct their ways, which lead to quite a few articles over the years: We've delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart," it added.Benchmarks and performance measurements are a main-stay of evaluation of devices and integral parts of the review process for a lot of people – including both actual consumers as well as publications or analysts as ourselves. "We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation. "It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on application identifiers rather than application behaviour," Geekbench had posted on Twitter. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) develop a similar kind of service and OS framework to control device performance, as per the report. The OnePlus 9 Pro seems to be disabling the Cortex-X1 core when running these benchmarks, the report said.Īfter a bit of digging, it discovered a OnePlus Performance Service that tracks when the user opens applications and decides whether or not to make modifications to the CPU scheduler. When putting the device through the standard browser benchmarks such as Speedometer 2.0 and JetStream 2.0, the OnePlus 9 Pro posted surprisingly low scores, on par with budget devices released years ago. Recently, while running the performance benchmarks on the OnePlus 9 Pro, Andrei Frumusanu from AnandTech observed some rather odd behaviour. "While this may impact the devices' performance in some benchmarking apps, our focus as always is to do what we can to improve the performance of the device for our users," it added. This has helped to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption," the company argued. "As a result of this feedback, our R&D team has been working over the past few months to optimise the devices' performance when using many of the most popular apps, including Chrome, by matching the app's processor requirements with the most appropriate power. "Following the launch of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in March, some users told us about some areas where we could improve the devices' battery life and heat management," the company told XDA Developers on Wednesday. The company said that their top priority is to deliver a great user experience with products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. After Geekbench delisted flagship OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, the global smartphone brand has responded to the app throttling row, saying it only aims to improve the performance of their devices.
