![]() It is even limiting the performance of popular social media applications and web browsers such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Microsoft Edge. The OnePlus 5 is less than a day old and it’s already in trouble thanks to a damning report that accuses OnePlus of cheating benchmark scores. According to the publication, the OnePlus 9 Pro is limiting the performance of the Snapdragon 888 SoC in all the applications from Google and Microsoft. AnandTech has found that the OnePlus 9 Pro isn’t making full use of the SoC in other applications including all the popular apps that you see on the Google Play Store and the ones that many people use on a daily basis. A statement from OnePlus suggests that they are not overclocking the device, which the folks at XDA find appalling because the ROM does exactly that when those select benchmark apps are run. Upon deeper inspection, it turned out that the OnePlus 9 Pro is using the Cortex-X1 core and/ or the full potential of the Snapdragon 888 in only popular benchmarking apps. OnePlus 9 Pro limiting chipset performance in all popular apps However, the phone used the full potential of the SoC in all other benchmarking apps including AnandTech’s own applications. While the company didnt exactly cheat to have high scores. The action follows the discovery that a preloaded. After heavy criticism, OnePlus tried to explain to fans that what it was doing cannot be called cheating or manipulation. However, in this case, OnePlus was ‘cheating’ to improve power efficiency and battery life. According to the publication, the OnePlus 9 Pro uses the Cortex-X1 core in Vivaldi only during the first test on a fresh install. If you recall last week, Geekbench delisted the OnePlus 9 Pro due to performance manipulation. Popular benchmark app Geekbench confirmed it banned the Galaxy S22 series and other Samsung phones found to be cheating in benchmark apps. App detection is used by companies to make smartphones appear more powerful on benchmarking platforms. Surprisingly, even these cores ran at 2.0GHz instead of their maximum frequency of 2.41GHz. Instead, the phone used the Cortex-A78 cores. However, when they ran the test again, the phone did not use the Cortex-X1 core. ![]() In this test, the OnePlus 9 Pro used the Cortex-X1 core and delivered a score of 107 points, which is in line with the other Snapdragon 888 powered smartphones. It seems like OnePlus has slowed down 300 popular apps to improve battery life on the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro. Assuming that OnePlus was cheating on the benchmarks, they approached Primate Labs, the makers of the popular GeekBench suite of benchmarks, for help. The SoC out of the box performs similarly, the wide-angle camera is actually a downgrade, and the slightly faster. XDA noted that the OnePlus 3T would maintain the little cores at 0.98 GHz and the big cores at 1.29 GHz in certain applications like benchmarks. ![]() ![]() To analyse the weird behaviour, AnandTech ran a popular benchmarking app called Vivaldi on the device. This doesn’t feel like a OnePlus 10 Pro: it feels more like a OnePlus 9T Pro. ![]()
