DELETED FROM GEEKBENCH OVER CHEATING SERIES
This means that in the benchmarks, the phone used all its hardware potential to record good results, but in a series of applications, this was not the case at all. The new boycotted the Galaxy S series, which also includes the Galaxy S22 series, and removed it from its list.
DELETED FROM GEEKBENCH OVER CHEATING UPDATE
Scored for the S8 Ultra Tab Series in two different conditions - right, Standard application name - left, renamed to Genshin Although Samsung is releasing an update to address this big misunderstanding (if we can call it a misunderstanding, of course), Geekbench is still not satisfied and this time removed the Galaxy Tab S8 series tablets from its benchmark list.

The problem started when a user was able to trick GOS into renaming the Geekbench software package to "Genshin", which is a normal application. In that test, the performance of the Galaxy S22 was not at all satisfactory, but when it changed its name to Geekbench and the service realized that it was a benchmark application, it was disabled and the result was much better. While the S7 Tab series did not have this problem at all. In fact, users get the same first result in different situations, not the second.Īs a result, only the new series of Samsung tablets are subject to the embargo, and last year's models are still in Geekbench. Of course, it seems that GOS does not show much harsh behavior in the S8 Tab series tablets compared to the S22 series, one of the main reasons for which can be the larger size and thus better performance in temperature distribution. This is enough to make us realize that the company just does not want its users to notice the problem of hot phones. However, Samsung was not the first company to do so. OnePlus and Apple also had similar problems, and each was somehow under pressure.OnePlus has admitted that the company throttles the performance of the OnePlus 9 Series when it comes to using popular apps.

The throttling was discovered by AnandTech which later resulted in the devices being removed from GeekBench for manipulating benchmark scores. Now, OnePlus has responded to the accusations with an explanation as to why the company throttles the performance on the OnePlus 9 series and it kind of makes sense. The OnePlus 9 Series is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset which can be clocked to 3 GHz when required. However, it was found that OnePlus deliberately throttles the chipset while using popular apps such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and more. In fact, it was found that OnePlus was limiting the performance of the OnePlus 9 series in over 300 apps.Īs to why the company limited the performance of the OnePlus 9 series on certain apps, it’s best to hear the explanation from the company itself. The company says that the chipsets have reached a point where their "power is an overkill" while using some apps. These apps include browsers, social media apps and even some games.
