OnePlus 9 Pro caught cheating in benchmark scores, gets removed from Geekbench

Performance benchmarking platform Geekbench has delisted the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 smartphones after a report by AnandTech revealed that the OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone was manipulating benchmarking scores.

“It’s disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on application identifiers rather than application behavior. We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation. We’ve delisted the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart,” tweeted GeekBench.

GeekBench further said that it will be testing all OnePlus phones to check if any other device is also doing something similar. “We will also test the other OnePlus handsets in our performance lab to see if these handsets also manipulate performance in the same way.
