Monitoring the CPU’s behaviour during the run points out that the system is never loading the Cortex-X1 core of the Snapdragon 888, and instead is running the benchmark on the Cortex-A78 cores. During the first run, the phone is managing a score of 61.5 – a low score that’s very abnormal for a Snapdragon 888. In the first/left video – I’m starting Chrome fresh and running the browser-based Speedometer 2.0 benchmark. In particular, Chrome seemed to be suffering from extremely weird behaviour that at worst ended up with the browser only being able to use the SoC’s little Cortex-A55 cores.

OnePlus 9 Pro - Chrome & Vivaldi Performance In testing, I had encountered something which really perplexed me, and caught my attention seemingly inexplicable slow browser benchmark figures which were not in line with any other Snapdragon 888 device in the market, getting only a fraction of the scores and performance of other devices. The OnePlus 9 Pro was released in early April, however due to other work in the pipeline we never got to fully review the phone until now – well, that’s also a bit delayed due to today’s piece. Starting off with weird benchmark numbersĪs always with these stories, it all starts out when discovering some weird oddity when going over the usual review process. This is perhaps to improve battery life at the expense of performance, but it does mean that the regular benchmark results are somewhat useless for user experience.

We have confirmed that (a) benchmarks or (b) unknown apps get full performance most of the top popular non-benchmark apps get notably reduced performance. We have detected that OnePlus is blacklisting popular applications away from the its fastest cores, causing slow down in typical workloads such as web browsing. It’s something so unusual and baffling, as it truly blurs the line between battery optimisation, performance cheating, and general device specification misrepresentation. Today’s piece fits within this class of articles, and more specifically covers OnePlus’ newest OnePlus 9 Pro flagship phone, and how its performance behaviour indeed manages to be extremely unique in the current mobile landscape.

They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android BenchmarksĮvery now and then, these topics always resurface as vendors attempt to “differentiate” their devices amongst the crowd – it’s a repeated process which unfortunately by now no longer really surprises us when it happens.Huawei & Honor's Recent Benchmarking Behaviour: A Cheating Headache.Mobile Benchmark Cheating: When a SoC Vendor Provides It As A Service.In the past, when this relationship between benchmarks and real-world apps was broken, we’ve always attempted to expose such behaviour in order to have the vendors correct their ways, which lead to quite a few articles over the years: For instance, the report says that Uber and Uber Eats are detected, Lyft and Grubhub were not.Benchmarks and performance measurements are a main-stay of evaluation of devices and integral parts of the review process for a lot of people – including both actual consumers as well as publications or analysts as ourselves. This newly discovered OnePlus' performance limiting mechanism detects apps like Chrome, Twitter, and “applies to pretty much everything that has any level of popularity in the Play Store.” This includes the whole of Google's app suite, all of Microsoft's Office apps, all popular social media apps, and any popular browser such as Firefox, Samsung Internet, or Microsoft Edge.Īs mentioned, the limiting mechanism did not detect benchmarking apps, few popular games, and less popular alternatives to categories. This compelled AnandTech to dig further and it was found that few apps were deliberately kept away from the phone's fastest core, causing a slowdown in typical workload, including Web browsing. While OnePlus might be blacklisting these apps to preserve battery, but it also makes the results via benchmarking apps less relevant.ĪnandTech discovered discrepancies in app performances on OnePlus 9 Pro while reviewing the unit. However, a fresh report claims that OnePlus is blacklisting few specific apps to slow down workloads, whereas offering full performance access to other apps, including benchmarking apps. Both the phones pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, the flagship SoC from the chipmaker. OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 have been delisted from Geekbench after they were reported to tweak CPU and GPU performance.
