This score has been generated from a Exynos 9815 running Oreo 8.1, so they maybe a reply from QC though one wasn't scheduled. The ‘feature’ will be removed from OxygenOS through a future OTA update. The Note 9's Geekbench score is out and man what a score it is, I know a lot of you guys love benchmarks so this will get the tongues wagging. OnePlus has also promised that it will stop targeting benchmarking apps in the future, though it will continue to use this trick for certain heavy games. The same cannot be said about Meizu’s Pro 6 Plus handset though, which is why you should never really buy a device based solely on its benchmark scores. Last year there was a huge controversy when Geekbench 4 came out, as results from Qualcomm Snapdragon chips dropped significantly, and other chips like MTKs. The OnePlus 3T is still an excellent phone by all means, and OnePlus cheating in benchmark apps should not really deter anyone from buying this excellent handset. This results in a huge disparity in results when compared to running the benchmarks on the phone in ‘normal’ mode. Meizu was also caught cheating in benchmarks, with its Pro 6 Plus handset switching exclusively to power hungry A72 cores when running certain apps. The temperatures while running the secret build were lower when compared to the version available on the Google Play Store thereby indicating that OnePlus is also boosting the thermal performance of the OnePlus 3T while running specific benchmarking apps. While running the ‘secret’ build of Geekbench resulted in the same scores as the regular version, there was quite a difference in the thermal performance of the phone while running the two version of the benchmark. This “feature” was a part of HyrdogenOS and only recently made its way to OxygenOS when OnePlus merged the base source code of both OSes. In comparison, the CPU clock speed would quickly drop down to 0.31GHz - the base clock of the Snapdragon 821 chipset - to preserve battery life with other apps open.Īfter further testing with a ‘secret’ version of Geekbench, it was discovered that OnePlus specifically boosts the base clock speed of the Snapdragon 821 chipset when benchmarking apps like Geekbench, AnTuTu, Quadrant, Vellamo, and GFXBench are open. More specifically, the team at XDA discovered that the OnePlus 3T boosts the base clock of its small and big cores to 0.98GHz and 1.29GHz, respectively, even when the CPU load was 0 percent with certain benchmarking apps open. However, a new investigation from XDA folks reveals that some companies continue to indulge in such practices even now. This is not overclock, but disable thermal throttling. Reporting from GSM Arena, when the benchmark is detected, OnePlus 5 locking clusters of 'small' Snapdragon chipset 835 at the highest clockspeed of 1.9 GHz. ![]() Since being publicly caught and shamed, many OEMs removed such behaviour from their devices. From the results of the investigation XDA-Developers, cheating mechanism found on OnePlus 5. In 2013, it was discovered that many top tier OEMs were cheating in popular benchmarking apps by putting their Android devices into an overdrive mode.
