Following the launch of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in March, some users told us about some areas where we could improve the devices’ battery life and heat management. “Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. OnePlus has since responded to XDA Developers via an unnamed spokesperson: Geekbench added that they fully intend to investigate other OnePlus devices for any similar performance manipulation scenarios. The owners of Geekbench, a cross-platform benchmark tool, swiftly delisted the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro for benchmark manipulation. We've delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart. ![]() We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation. It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on application identifiers rather than application behavior. In its entirety, the OnePlus 9 Pro tested was not delivering the performance expected from its flagship-grade chipset (Snapdragon 888) in real-world apps despite being capable of doing so.īan hammer by Geekbench, OnePlus responds In this case, the browser used was a throttled app identified within the phone’s blacklist, which led to the discovery of throttling despite having great performance scores in other non-blacklisted apps.Īffected apps cut across the gamut - productivity, gaming, social media, streaming, and more, with AnandTech’s discoveries and detailed summary found here. Throttling real-world apps instead of inflating benchmark performanceĬontrary to older practices where manipulated benchmarks led to inflated scores, the OnePlus 9 Pro throttled app performance instead, which meant benchmark scores had great results while real-world usage was throttled. This led to lower performance on ‘popular apps’ after much trial-and-error. Upon further investigation, AnandTech learnt how the OnePlus 9 Pro ‘spoofs’ popular apps before the phone decide to post preferred CPU behaviour. The device posted low scores on par with entry-level phones from a generation ago when testing via a browser-based benchmark. Tech and phone review website AnandTech first discovered abnormal performance issues on the OnePlus 9 Pro during standard benchmarking exercises. ![]() According to XDA Developers, OnePlus has since responded to these claims of benchmark manipulation.
