If OnePlus told users they do such optimizations to improve battery life and still give good performance where it matters and maybe even a toggle to turn this off entirely, then there would be no problem. It is done with good intentions, but is misinterpreted because of bad communication between company and users. I'd say this has the same issue as Apple's 'battery gate' drama. Which I'd very much welcome more than just dumb task killers that Chinese vendors obsess over so much in general and which you can't turn off in most cases, just disable and hope they're really off (which usually isn't the case). If that was in fact the case, then it's actually real optimization and not cheating. Hence, the publication claims that benchmark tests of OnePlus 5 on Geekbench 4, AnTuTu, Androbench, GFXBench, Quadrant, Nenamark 2 and Vellamo are all showing misleading scores because of the. This saw a performance hit as hard as 85. Performance benchmarking platform Geekbench even delisted the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 smartphones and said that it would verify benchmark. For example, Google Chrome was limited to only using the phone’s Cortex-A55 cores instead of having access to the more powerful A78 and X1 cores.

But is it really cheating? What's the point in giving some light load or background apps full throttle power of the X1 core which is by far the most power hungry? Or limiting some social network app that can't possibly ever need all the full grunt from the chipset (and which are all listed as ones that are throttled)? Just so it clocks to stupid speeds and eats battery faster? I'd be more interested in seeing if full power was given to benchmarks (why would one limit benchmarks?!) and lets say games or apps that actually require full raw compute power. In a report by AnandTech, it was discovered that the OnePlus 9 dramatically throttles the performance of popular apps.
