It's frustrating to see OnePlus phones make performance decisions based on app identifiers.

Geekbench scores can be compared against others via the Geekbench Browser. Instead of practical behaviour, we see this as a kind of standard manipulation. On the benchmark result page, set a result as the baseline for comparison by pressing 'Set Baseline' on the right-hand side of the page.

After AnandTech published its report, GeekBench, one of the more popular tools for benchmarking, completed a separate investigation and went on to delist the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from its. Use the search bar to find a model that you would like to compare it to, then simply click on the device to view a side-by-side comparison of their scores. As a result, in some tests, Chrome shows results that are 75-85 lower than expected.

We have removed the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from the Android Benchmark list. We found OnePlus blacklisting popular apps, preventing them from accessing fast kernels, which slows down typical workflows like web browsing.

ONEPLUS BENCHMARKS DELETED GEEKBENCH OVER FULL Geekbench also noted this development and subsequently removed the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro from the list of Android benchmarks. ONEPLUS BENCHMARKS DELETED GEEKBENCH OVER ANDROID Kind of a standard tamper.” The only OnePlus 9 model currently listed is the 'R' version with the SD870.Īlthough OnePlus has not responded to the controversy, it appears that the company used performance-limiting measures to ensure better battery life. The company has gone on the defensive now, saying this step was to “ensure better battery life.” And performance is an expected compromise in a mid-range/budget device, but it definitely looks out of place in a 2021 flagship.OnePlus raves on about the smooth performance of its phones every year… but the company was caught red-handed throttling the performance of over 300 apps on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro. The issue came to the fore when AnandTech published a detailed report into OnePlus’ sneaky performance-limiting practices. Reporter Andrei Frumusanu first found issues with benchmarks of Chrome browser, which were unusually low for Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor designed for high-end phones.įurther investigation found that the Chinese manufacturer possibly has a list of apps whose performance is limited, including WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat.

So far, there's no official response from the company. It would be interesting to see how this story unfolds and if OnePlus will take any action. The effect is very similar though - benchmarks scores would indicate a level of performance that just isn't there for apps. Instead OxygenOS was found run at its designed limit during benchmarks, whereas just about every other app gets less than the full performance. It's not quite the same case as the cheating modes in the past where manufacturers will tune their phones so they ignore thermal limits when running benchmarks. In Geekbench's books, this is performance manipulation and will also look into other OnePlus devices to see if the same applies to them as well. Or in other words, the system looks for specific apps to utilize its full performance rather than boosting performance when any app demands it. Geekbench says that the system makes performance decisions based on the applications' identifiers rather than behavior. That's why Geekbench took the action of removing the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro from its database.

However OxygenOS would not offer the limited performance to benchmarking apps, which Geekbench sees as cheating. In essence, the OxygenOS analyzes the apps it will more often than not limit the performance in what we assume is a bid to extend battery life. In a recent lengthy and in-depth investigation, AnandTech found a very interesting 'optimization' on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro when it comes to various apps.
