![]() This way, whenever the phone detects a benchmark app running, it will keep the CPU frequency high until the end of the test which in turn results in higher scores. Read: OnePlus 5 display is exactly the one used on OnePlus 3T, no change Last time, the XDA report alleged that the cheating mechanism didn’t “increase scores by much on average.” However, this time, “the cheating mechanism is blatant and aimed at maximizing performance,” the report claims.Īkin to the last time, OnePlus is specifically targeting a particular set of benchmarking apps which include AnTuTu, Androbench, Geekbench 4, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2, and Vellamo. In response to XDA Developers allegations, OnePlus’s spokesperson has issued a statement suggesting “People use benchmark apps in order to ascertain the performance of their device, and we want users to see the true performance of the OnePlus 5. Therefore, we have allowed benchmark apps to run in a state similar to daily usage, including the running of resource intensive apps and games. Additionally, when launching apps the OnePlus 5 runs at a similar state in order to increase the speed in which apps open. We are not overclocking the device, rather we are displaying the performance potential of the OnePlus 5.OnePlus hit the jackpot with its last year flagship phones OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. And as the company is inching closer to the release of this year’s flagship phone OnePlus 5, expectations from this phone are rising sky-high. Especially with the many leaks revealing high-end specsheet. Well, seems like OnePlus isn’t gonna disappoint us this time as well. The benchmarking scores of the device have been leaked showing really impressive scores which even surpass Samsung’s flagship phone Galaxy S8. The leaked screenshot of Geekbench shows OnePlus getting single core score of 1963 and multi core score of 6687 which is way more than Galaxy S8 scores (single core of 1929 and multi core score of 6375). Read: OnePlus kind of confirms OnePlus 5, yay! Notably, OnePlus 5 tops the GeekBench 4 list in the multi core score section. It’s not clear if OnePlus will be making changes to the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro through future updates, but this should still be kept in mind when looking for your next smartphone.OnePlus 5 even leaves the Xperia XZ Premium behind which got 1943 in single core and just 5824 in multi core despite rocking the same Snapdragon 835 which also powers OnePlus 5. It’s also perhaps noteworthy to remember that OnePlus did the same trick with the OnePlus 2, where weaker cores were preferred for certain apps, while others were allowed to use the whole chip.Īt the end of the day, it’s not a good look for OnePlus. Alternatively, they could’ve also given the user an option to opt out of the heavy performance throttling on common apps. It does seem odd that OnePlus decided against giving the user the choice of performance or battery life a simple ‘Battery Saving’ mode found in most other phones could’ve been enough rather than doing it without making it known first. However, while their statement makes it look as though the changes came as part of an update, it seems as though some reviewers had noted the strange performance behaviours even before they were officially launched. 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,” – OnePlusīasically, by relegating these apps to the weaker but more efficient CPU cores, the phone outputs less heat and has a longer battery life. This has helped to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption. OnePlus adds:Īs a result of this feedback, our R&D team has been working over the past few months to optimize 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. It seems as though when the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro were launched back in March, some users informed them that their devices’ battery life and and heat management could be improved. In light of these events unfolding, OnePlus responded by stating that these changes were a result of user feedback. Nevertheless, Geekbench clearly thought this was enough to warrant delisting the phones from their charts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regular apps were throttled, while others like benchmarking tools were allowed to use the the whole CPU. While that typically involves boosting beyond regular spec, the OnePlus devices are actually doing the opposite.
