The list of apps contains almost all popular ones on Google Play store including Chrome, Twitter, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and more. He also mentioned that the R&D team at OnePlus maintains a list of applications – based on the most popular Google Play Store apps – that it tries to optimise.

The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro reduce the CPU frequency in these scenarios to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation while maintaining a smooth experience,” he explained in an OnePlus forum post. It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance. But with actions that do not require the maximum power, like reading a webpage or scrolling through Twitter and Instagram, it’s not necessary for the CPU to run at almost 3GHz to do that smoothly. It's because of this that Geekbench has delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from its chart.

We optimise them for real use.” “In the case of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, when you open apps or heavy games, the Snapdragon 888 processor, including the super powerful X1 CPU core, will run at full speed to provide the best performance. Now, CEO Pete Lau offered his clarification and said, “We don't optimize OnePlus phones for benchmarking scores. After heavy criticism, OnePlus tried to explain to fans that what it was doing cannot be called cheating or manipulation. However, in this case, OnePlus was ‘cheating’ to improve power efficiency and battery life. App detection is used by companies to make smartphones appear more powerful on benchmarking platforms.

The report by AnandTech said that the OnePlus 9 Pro’s software was using an application detection mechanism and intentionally kept running popular apps like Google Chrome, FireFox, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and “pretty much everything that has any level of popularity in the Play Store” in processor’s slower cores. Performance benchmarking platform Geekbench even delisted the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 smartphones and said that it would verify benchmark scores of other OnePlus phones too. This resulted in artificially inflated scores that users would not see during real-world usage.OnePlus recently faced the wrath of tech enthusiasts globally on social media after a report revealed how the OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone was manipulating benchmarking scores.

This is reminiscent of when the company was caught pushing the OnePlus 5's performance capabilities when the OS detected a benchmark app. 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.

OnePlus issued a statement to Android Authority addressing the matter: 'Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback.

We found that the OnePlus 9 series limits the performance of Google Chrome while older OnePlus phones do not. In some of our own testing, we found that AnandTech's data is on the mark. Geekbench called Oxygen OS's behavior a form of 'benchmark manipulation.' OnePlus has yet to issue a statement on the matter. After conducting its own investigation, Geekbench recently announced that it has removed all OnePlus 9 benchmarks from its charts. Geekbench, one of the more popular benchmarking sites, took these allegations seriously. The move by Geekbench is a temporary one. 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. Geekbench thus decided to delist the OnePlus 9 Pro from its database due to the observed dissonance relating to the processor benchmarks of the device. Android Authority reports: 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.
