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.

In short, cheating behavior was clear and demonstrable by both looking at score variance, and by monitoring CPU frequencies throughout the benchmark, which showed a frequency floor that - for the most part - allowed the device to consistently score closer to its full potential. This minimum frequency reduced the effective frequency range, which in turn reduced the number of step frequencies in benchmarks, this resulted in slightly lower variance and, as we showed, higher sustained performance as the higher minimum frequency could not be overridden by thermal throttling. Then, the ROM would alter the frequency in relation to an adjusted CPU load - our tools showed CPU load would drop to 0 percent regardless of obvious activity within the application, and the CPU would see a near-minimum frequency of 1.29GHz in the big cores and 0.98GHz in the little cores.
Such application names were explicitly listed by their package IDs within the ROM in a manifest that specified the targets. Last time around, OnePlus introduced changes to the behavior of their ROM whenever it detected a benchmark application was opened. The site explains how the cheating that has been detected in the OnePlus 5 differs from the technique used in the OnePlus 3T: It also affects a large number of well-known benchmarking tools: AnTuTu, Androbench, Geekbench 4, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2, and Vellamo. While with the OnePlus 3T things were somewhat subtle, this time around it appears to be more blatant.

If you are interested to know more about this benchmark cheating and how it was uncovered together by XDA Developers and Geekbench, you can head on to the source link below.Just as before, XDA Developers found that OxygenOS - the OnePlus take on Android - was gaming benchmarks. The trigger process for benchmarking apps will not be present in upcoming OxygenOS builds on the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T.“ This not only increases the clock speed of the CPU but also helps post better benchmark scores.Īfter being caught doing this act, OnePlus said “ In order to give users a better user experience in resource intensive apps and games, especially graphically intensive ones, we implemented certain mechanisms in the community and Nougat builds to trigger the processor to run more aggressively. The company makes its phone switch to bigger cores when certain apps (read benchmarking apps) are running.

Same is the case with Meizu’s Pro 6 Plus. It wasn’t based on the CPU workload, but rather on the app’s package name, which the hidden build could fool.” XDA further added. “ OnePlus was makings it CPU governor more aggressive, resulting in a practical artificial clock speed floor in Geekbench that wasn’t there in the hidden Geekbench build. “ Our editor-in-chief, Mario Serrafero, was using Qualcomm Trepn and the Snapdragon Performance Visualizer to monitor how Qualcomm “boosts” the CPU clock speed when opening apps, and noticed that certain apps on the OnePlus 3T were not falling back down to their normal idling speeds after opening.” said XDA Developers in a report. As soon as the device detected these kind of apps, the clock speeds were increased to get better performance from the processor. OnePlus was found to be intentionally increasing the clock speeds on the 3T when benchmarking apps like AnTuTu and Geekbench were opened. Smartphone manufacturers OnePlus and Meizu are caught cheating the benchmarking apps in order to appear better in terms of scores.
This has happened in the past and it has happened once again. Well, OEMs do know this, and hence, they often indulge in cheating these benchmarking apps to post higher score and make their device look better performing of the lot.
The higher the score, the better its performance would be. If you have read smartphone reviews, you must have noticed that reviewers often make use of benchmarking apps like AnTuTu, Geekbench, GFXBench and more to get an idea of how powerful the device is.
