But because this high performance mode doesn’t kick in when other apps are being used, this tricks reviewers into proclaiming that the particular device has great performance as well as great battery life. To do that, unscrupulous brands can cheat by boosting performance only when a benchmark is run. Some though want to have the best of both worlds – the ability to brag about both high performance, as well as a long battery life. Other than the usual ways – using more powerful processor and graphics cores – brands can tune their operating system to focus more on performance, at the expense of battery life. The smartphone industry is a cut-throat business, with brands fighting to differentiate their smartphones from their competitors. One of the ways is to demonstrate a clear performance advantage. This resulted in artificially inflated scores that users would not see during real-world usage.Updated : Added UL’s delisting of MediaTek chipsets, and their comments on MediaTek’s actions.

We found that the OnePlus 9 series limits the performance of Google Chrome while older OnePlus phones do not. In some of our own testing, we found that AnandTech's data is on the mark. Geekbench called Oxygen OS's behavior a form of "benchmark manipulation." OnePlus has yet to issue a statement on the matter. After conducting its own investigation, Geekbench recently announced that it has removed all OnePlus 9 benchmarks from its charts. Geekbench, one of the more popular benchmarking sites, took these allegations seriously.

According to the team's research, Oxygen OS apparently limits the performance of some popular Android apps - but none of those apps are benchmark suites. Android Authority reports: Yesterday, AnandTech posted some information about "weird behavior" it spotted with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Popular benchmark site Geekbench has removed OnePlus 9 benchmarks from its charts due to allegations that the company designed Oxygen OS optimization tools in such a way that they could be viewed as cheating.
