Huawei and Xiaomi have had similar issues with some of their devices in the past as well.

Oppo Find X Outed For Benchmark Cheating, Company Promises To Upgrade The System Oppo Find X as well as the Oppo F7 have found themselves in hot water with UL Benchmarks in the past for ‘artificially producing high and misleading’ benchmark scores’. However, this did not happen with benchmarking apps, something that Geekbench considered to be benchmark manipulation.
It’s not the first time this happens: one other series that Geekbench removed from its list is the OnePlus 9, after it was discovered that, when OxygenOS detected certain apps were running, it disabled the Cortex-X1 primary core to preserve power. In response, the developers behind Geekbench have banned the last four generations of Samsung Galaxy devices from its services for manipulating benchmark results.

So, even when Samsung releases the update mentioned above, the Galaxy S22, S21, S20 and S10 devices will not return to the list. It’s worth mentioning that Geekbench’s policy states that, once a device is removed from their list, it will not be re-added. We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation as major benchmark applications, including Geekbench, are not throttled by this service.” GOS decides to throttle (or not to throttle) applications using application identifiers and not application behavior. Geekbench said, in a Twitter post: “ Earlier this week, we were made aware of Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS) and how it throttles the performance of games and applications. Samsung has said it will give users the option to prioritize performance with an upcoming update, but Geekbench was not satisfied with that answer and removed the last four years of Galaxy smartphones. In addition to that, the One UI 4.0 update made it difficult for the users to disable the GOS app. In short, these apps overestimated the performance of some Samsung smartphones. To be more exact, Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS), which should only manage gaming apps so the phones don’t overheat, seems to have actually been limiting the performance of other apps, such as Microsoft Office and Zoom.īenchmarking apps such as Geekbench and 3DMark were not affected, as GOS did not have access to them, however, once they were renamed, their results were unquestionably affected. However, the OEM has also apparently revealed that the same issues might affect the 9R and Nord 2, other recently-launch smartphones from OnePlus with different Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 1200 processors respectively.Geekbench has now removed four years’ worth of Samsung Galaxy smartphones from its site after finding out that the company has been throttling over 10,000 apps.

This, presumably, is to be the successor to OxygenOS 11, based on the upcoming major Android 12 upgrade Therefore, it might alleviate some dissatisfaction for some 9-series users. Accordingly, Android Police now reports that OnePlus has responded to its queries on this subject with news that it will include an option to turn these "optimizations" off in " one of the first builds of OxygenOS 12". However, many users were displeased with the situation, to say the least.

The OEM responded to these claims with explanations involving the need for what it calls its " optimizations" to limit performance in 'normal' use in order to conserve battery life and health, and that the "restricted" apps did not need full 888 power in any case (in the company's estimation, at least). OnePlus has become embroiled in a scandal that Geekbench has gone far enough to describe as " benchmark manipulation", in that the OxygenOS 11 version that runs on the 9 and 9 Pro prevents common apps such as Chrome or Twitter from using the full speed of the more powerful core found in their Snapdragon 888 SoC (the Cortex-X1) - a limit that somehow did not apply when a benchmarking app was opened on the same devices.
