New Delhi: Oneplus’s smartphone maker was recently accused of manipulating benchmark scores by optimizing the performance of various popular applications oneplus 9 and oneplus 9 pro.
As reported by Anandtech, Oneplus 9 Pro software uses application detection mechanisms that intentionally continue to run popular applications such as Google Chrome, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, and others in a slower processor core.
Now, Oneplus has recognized the same thing.
The company has accepted that it does optimize the application to save smartphone battery life.
Oneplus’s response to publishing acknowledged this problem, the company released an official statement.
In the company statement said that it optimizes certain applications to save smartphone battery life.
The company also mentions that with this practice is also able to control the heat problem of the device.
The company also mentions that reflecting the company’s application wants to improve the overall performance of smartphones.
This is the complete statement of Oneplus: “Our top priority always provides a great user experience with our products, which is based on acting quickly on important user feedback.
After the launch of Oneplus 9 and 9 Pro in March, some users told us about Some areas where we can increase battery life and heat management of devices.
As a result of this feedback, our R & D team has worked for the past few months to optimize device performance when using many of the most popular applications, including Chrome, by matching requirements The most appropriate power application processor.
This has helped provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption.
Even though this can affect the performance of devices in several benchmark applications, our focus is like what we can.
To improve device performance for our users.
“How problems it comes to Light Anandtech, during its test, note that Oxygeno on Oneplus 9 Pro and Oneplus 9 did not allow the P of the opuler application including its own system application to use the ‘Prime’ core in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset.
The company applies performance restrictions using the blacklist method.
Anandtech added, “Application detection is used by the company to make smartphones appear stronger on the benchmarking website.
But instead of increasing the performance of benchmarks, the company reduces the performance of real world applications down theoretical hardware capabilities.” Oneplus was accused of being the first time Oneplus was accused of something like this.
In 2017, the company was accused of discussing the Oneplus review unit 5.
The company did this to inform the benchmark score.
This misleads customers by offering fake data in reviews.
The code on the smartphone is designed to manipulate benchmarking scores in Geekbench, Antu, Gfxbench, and others.
