Given that the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro are brand new devices, throttling speeds so early on seems like an absurd idea, and there’s no telling what this might do to OnePlus’ reputation and consumer attitudes towards its next flagship devices. The whole affair rings familiar of the Apple scandal from some years back, where suspicions of older phones becoming slower over time were confirmed, forcing Apple to admit that its practices were done in the name of prolonging battery life.

We've delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart. We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation. It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on application identifiers rather than application behavior. That discrepancy is precisely what just prompted Geekbench to delist the Oneplus 9 and 9 Pro from its benchmark database, possibly until further clarification from the manufacturer. 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.”Īt this point however the damage has already been done, with Geekbench having removed the OnePlus 9 phones from its database. 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 optimise the devices’ performance when using 300 of the most popular apps, including Chrome, by matching the app’s processor requirements with the most appropriate power. If oneplus wants to throttle the normal apps then what's the point of high benchmark scores. OnePlus throttled the performance of normal apps but did not cap the performance of benchmark apps. 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. Geekbench delisted OnePlus 9 and 9 pro from Android Benchmark Chart as a result of benchmark manipulation.

“Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. To tackle the controversy head-on, OnePlus has now released the following statement: Originally discovered by AnandTech, real world usage of apps such as Twitch, Strava, Uber and Netflix doesn’t match up with the benchmark results provided by Geekbench. OnePlus is now at the heart of a major scandal after it was discovered that the company’s latest phones, the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, have been stifling popular apps in an effort to conserve battery life.
