#ONEPLUS BENCHMARKS FROM GEEKBENCH CHEATING ANDROID#
According to the team’s research, Oxygen OS apparently limits the performance of some popular Android apps - but none of those apps are benchmark suites. Android Authority reports: Yesterday, AnandTech posted some information about 'weird behavior' it spotted with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Original article, J(11:16 AM ET): Yesterday, AnandTech posted some information about “weird behavior” it spotted with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Popular benchmark site Geekbench has removed OnePlus 9 benchmarks from its charts due to allegations that the company designed Oxygen OS optimization tools in such a way that they could be viewed as cheating. So far, Geekbench has not reinstated the previously removed OnePlus 9 benchmarks. 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 many 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. The company was first found to be cheating benchmarks back in 2017 on its OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 5 devices. 'Weve delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart. Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation,' benchmarking site Geekbench announced via Twitter following the discovery.

Updated, J(01:55 PM ET): OnePlus contacted Android Authority to give a statement on the matter described below.
