In February this year, OnePlus and Meizu were reported to be cheating on their benchmark scores by tweaking the CPU to an artificial clock speed, and once OnePlus was intimated, it promised to issue a fix in the next OxygenOS update. Without the cheating mechanism, the report claims that only 24.4 percent of results gave the 1.9GHz maximum frequency in the small cores, whereas when the manipulation was enabled, the number jumped to a whopping 95 percent of results. The other benchmark apps it affects include AnTuTu, Androbench, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2, and Vellamo. With this technique, OnePlus achieved some of the highest scores on GeekBench 4. This manipulation of benchmark scores was noticed by XDA Developers, and in its report states that the OnePlus 5 "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 maximise scores in the most misleading fashion." As soon as the smartphone detects a benchmark app, the minimum frequency of the little cluster rockets to the maximum frequency i.e. However, this time, it’s more "blatant" and "consciously introduced." However, a fresh investigative report claims that OnePlus has again used unethical methods to fool benchmark apps and has indulged in manipulating benchmark scores for its latest smartphone. The smartphone’s initial reviews are also in, and most of them laud the fast performance of the OnePlus 5. It packs the latest Snapdragon 835 SoC, up to 8GB of RAM, and much more. OnePlus 5 is now official, and on paper the smartphone looks spectacular.
