Typically, most phones have thermal throttling that won’t let the phone reach that high a temperature in the first place.Ī statement from OnePlus suggests that they are “not overclocking the device”, which the folks at XDA find appalling because the ROM does exactly that when those select benchmark apps are run. What’s more interesting - when running GFXBench’s Manhattan Battery test, the OnePlus 5 posted temperatures of 50☌ or 122☏, which means the device was uncomfortably hot to hold. Although the difference isn’t much, it is probably enough for some unsuspecting reviewers to declare the OnePlus 5 as the performance king among other competing phones. The result? The multi-core scores in Geekbench 4, for instance, came in at over 6700 when the hidden build of Geekbench (to check what the phone should realistically score) didn’t post a score above 6500. It points out OnePlus 5 manages to achieve high Geekbench 4 scores for Snapdragon 835 by keeping all little cores clocked at 1.9 GHz.
According to a report in XDA developers, the cheating mechanism is blatant and aimed at maximising performance. Upon execution, the phone would boost the CPU to a frequency that it typically wouldn’t run at when using day-to-day applications. OnePlus has denied the charge, and said they are not overclocking the cores. Long story short, the ROM running on the test unit was set to detect when benchmark suites like AnTuTu, Androbench, Geekbench 4, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2 and Vellamo would execute. XDA Developers, the same publication that had outed OnePlus among other companies early this year for a similar malpractice, found the same issue with its OnePlus 5 review unit. But alas, the company seems to have faltered yet again in artificially inflating benchmark scores in a bid to showcase a numerical superiority.

There is no doubt that the recently launched OnePlus 5 is a fast smartphone, thanks to the combination of the Snapdragon 835 chip, 6 or 8GB RAM, fast UFS 2.1 storage, a modest 1080p display, and bloatware-free Android. For example, a device with a 40,000 score in a benchmark suite is not twice as fast as a device with a 20,000 score in the real world. Simply put, the brain can only push as much as the body is. That assessment should be viewed skeptically in.

In 2016, the OnePlus 3T was named by AnTuTu of having the top score for an Android phone.

Since these components are designed in-house by smartphone companies and are unique to each model, they can create a variance in the overall performance, reflecting different benchmark scores. Meanwhile, we probably should remind you that as recently as 2017, the OnePlus 3T and the Meizu Pro 6 were both accused of overclocking their CPUs when running benchmark tests from Geekbench and AnTuTu. While they numerically suggest the maximum performance a device can deliver, the numbers typically do not correlate to how it performs in the real world. The quality of these components contributes to how well the processor is able to do its job. Benchmarks are a bane to the world of smartphones.
