XDA had earlier found that the OnePlus 3T was designed to deliver benchmark results that were considerably higher than the phone’s actual performance on regular usage.Īs mentioned earlier, this is the second time OnePlus has been caught for the same indiscretion. Alonside Geekbench, OnePlus is cheating on AnTuTu, Androbench, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2 and Vellamo. The report indicates that OnePlus is targeting the same benchmarks it had targeted last time. All little cores are affected and kept at 1.9GHz, and it is through this cheat that OnePlus achieves some of the highest GeekBench 4 scores of a Snapdragon 835 to date – and likely the highest attainable given its no-compromise configuration with its specific configuration. While there are no governor switches when a user enters a benchmark (at least, we can’t seem to see that’s the case), the minimum frequency of the little cluster jumps to the maximum frequency as seen under performance governors. The OnePlus 5, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast - it resorts to the kind of obvious, calculated cheating mechanisms we saw in flagships in the early days of Android, an approach that is clearly intended to maximize scores in the most misleading fashion. It’s very similar to what AnandTech had once caught on Samsung and other companies. Interestingly, XDA’s report says the means of cheating used by OnePlus this time is of a more primitive nature.
Known to be a haven for enthusiasts, XDA has caught OnePlus for cheating on benchmarks a second time. On the day OnePlus announced the OnePlus 5, XDA Developers has dropped a bomb on the company.
