"Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. When asked, the company would not respond to whether the 300-app claim in the original statement was correct or not. The company later reached out to us with the following, slightly different statement, which makes no mention of the number of apps affected by the behavior. While this may impact the devices’ performance in some benchmarking apps, our focus as always is to do what we can to improve the performance of the device for our users.” This has helped to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption. As a result of this feedback, our R&D team has been working over the past few months to optimize the devices’ performance when using 300 of the most popular apps, including Chrome, by matching the app’s processor requirements with the most appropriate power. 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. The report speculates it's an attempt to deliver improved battery life - a failure, if our review is anything to go by.Ī day after Anandtech's original report, a OnePlus representative issued a statement to XDA's Mishaal Rahman, which you can read in full below, which claims 300 apps were affected.
While OxygenOS allows benchmarking apps to reach full performance using its Snapdragon 888, OnePlus has included a blacklist of popular apps from the Play Store, all of which are prevented from taking full advantage of the phone's power. In theory, that should make the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro some of the fastest phones you can buy today - indeed, our reviews say basically the same thing - but it turns out that many applications are being held back from reaching peak performance.A new report from Anandtech dives deep into determining whether or not the OnePlus 9 Pro's benchmarks match real-world usage, and unfortunately, the answer seems to be a hard no. The days of "flagship killers" are long gone, but the company still chooses high-end processors each year. This is not a new decision, given that they did exactly the same thing last year with the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro launches.OnePlus always used flagship specs in its devices, even when its phones were undercutting the competition's price. We see this as a form of benchmark manipulation since major benchmark apps like Geekbench are not regulated by this service”.Īlthough Samsung has already promised to release a future update that allows the user to control the performance of games directly, Geekbench’s strict policy takes manipulated devices out of the equation, and it is a permanent decision regardless of whether the South Koreans launch or not the patch later. They add that “this system decides whether or not to limit apps using app identifiers and not app behavior. In the statement, Geekbench states that “ told us about Samsung’s game optimization service and how it regulates the performance of games and apps.”
In any case, the terminals of the Galaxy Note series and Series A will remain unchanged since they seem not to be affected in the tests.Īfter extensive internal testing we have determined the following Samsung Galaxy handsets use GOS:- Samsung Galaxy S22 (all models)- Samsung Galaxy S21 (all models)- Samsung Galaxy S20 (all models)- Samsung Galaxy S10 (all models) So as advanced from AndroidPolice, Geekbench just vetoed the last four years of Samsung flagships due to this issue.Īnd it will not only remove the Galaxy S22 series from Geekbench, but also all the S21, S20 and S10 series devices. In fact, we already explained that Samsung was slowing down the performance of thousands of Android applications on some high-end phones of the Galaxy series, specifically talking about the application called Game Optimization Service and that basically limits the performance of certain applications and games so that the battery lasts longer.īe that as it may, some companies that are dedicated to benchmarks have very strict policies in this regard, vetoing and eliminating from their results certain phones that use this type of procedure to limit or increase performance on certain occasions. A few hours ago we reported that Samsung seemed to be slowing down a large set of applications and games in order to reduce battery consumption, a practice that is not new, and that apparently the South Koreans have been doing since the last launches, not only with the recently launched Galaxy S22, but also with previous ones such as the Galaxy S21, S20 and S10.
