It discovered that handsets from HTC, Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, Google, Sony, and others do not engage in benchmark cheating. Using the custom-built benchmark tool, xda was then able to test other phones. Turning to networking, there’s no 5G mmWave support here. AnTuTu 3DMark Geekbench 4 Geekbench 4 at low battery.

Most notably, the OnePlus 3T was looking for Geekbench, AnTuTu, Androbench, Quadrant, Vellamo, and GFXBench,” xda wrote. “The initial testing included a ROM dump which found that the OnePlus 3T was directly looking for quite a few apps by name. It set out to prove it by partnering with Primate Labs, makers of Geekbench benchmark tests, who confirmed their worries. “Our hypothesis was that OnePlus was targeting these benchmarks by name, and was entering an alternate CPU scaling mode to pump up their benchmark scores,” xda said. In the ensuing investigation, the site discovered that certain apps on the OnePlus 3T were keeping the CPU running at higher frequencies even if there was no load. When testing by showing Geekbench 5 as a different app, 30 performance loss was experienced in a single core and 15 in all cores. While analyzing why the new Snapdragon 821 processor is opening apps faster, xda-developers found that the OnePlus 3T was behaving in a way not common to other handsets using the same chip, namely the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and the Google Pixel 2. When we interviewed John Poole, the creator of Geekbench, the topic of benchmark cheating and what companies like Primate Labs can do to prevent it came up.
