Highlights:
- OnePlus cheated
- Manipulating Benchmarking Scores
- GeekBench removed
GeekBench tweeted that it is very disappointing to see OnePlus handsets judging performance based on application identifiers rather than application behaviour. We see this as benchmark manipulation. We have removed OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android benchmark chart.
GeekBench further said that all OnePlus phones will be tested for testing to see if any other devices are doing the same thing. The rest of the OnePlus smartphones will be tested in the company’s lab to see if there is any manipulation in them. If this happens, GeekBench will remove them from the benchmark chart as well.
A tipster named AnandTech has said that the OnePlus 9 Pro’s software was using an application detection mechanism and was intentionally running apps like Google Chrome, FireFox, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram. During testing, it was found that the slow speed browser benchmark scores that were not at par with any other Snapdragon 888 device in the market, yielding only a fraction of the scores and performance of other devices.

Now the question arises that why did OnePlus do this. The company has not said anything about this at the moment, but it would not be wrong to say that the company has done this so that the power efficiency and battery life of its device can be better.
