Two of Oppo's latest Android phones Find X and F7, have recently been outed for cheating on processor benchmarks with the popular 3DMark benchmark app. DMark is a piece of benchmarking software initially developed by Futuremark and acquired by a company now known as UL.
UL was formerly known as Underwriters Laboratories. UL Benchmarks revealed this info on October 18, saying that the two Oppo phones were designed to know when 3DMark was running and then converts themselves into high end to get the best possible results. When a private version of 3DMark was used on the phones, results came in at 41% lower power.
The Oppo Find X was previously listed as the #4 fastest phone in one of UL Benchmark tests. The two devices in question are now at the bottom of the ranking list with no scores attached and mentioned DELISTED next to their names.
While Oppo officially responded to the issue and said When we detect that the user is running applications like games or 3D Benchmarks that require high performance, we allow the SoC to run at full speed for the smoothest experience. For unknown applications, the system will adopt the default power optimization strategy.
