OnePlus 9 Pro
The so-called time and time again, the “repeated criminals” OnePlus was once again found to have manipulated the system to secretly limit the performance of their latest flagship phones 9 and 9 Pro when running certain apps, including popular Chrome, Twitter and WhatsApp However, OnePlus did not restrict the operation of the evaluation tool, causing a gap between the user experience and the evaluation score.
The related findings were dug up by the foreign media AnandTech, and then we also used Geekbench in the evaluation. Twitter The above said that he believed that OnePlus’ behavior was cheating and would remove the scores of the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro phones.
Later, OnePlus explained the incident through XDA Developers, saying that the performance limitation was in response to users’ lack of battery life on the two S888 flagship phones. In the official statement, it was mentioned that their R&D department thought of providing only the processor performance required by the app, so as to better control the power usage, but admitted that the practice may have an impact on the results of the evaluation tool.
Friends who are familiar with the development history of mobile phones may still have the impression that OnePlus was caught in 3T and 5 earlier that the system would “optimize” for performance evaluation tools. Although this is the opposite, dishonesty is also involved. Next, let’s see how OnePlus will deal with this crisis, especially since their consumers have always come for high performance, and the issue of limiting performance will really affect the brand image.
