Oops, got burned! OnePlus deliberately slows down OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro in Chrome, Twitter, Facebook and other apps

The publication Anandtech conducted a study in which it found that OnePlus slows down the performance of flagships

OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro in 300 popular applications.

What is known

Experts have noticed that Google Chrome, Uber,Amazon, Netflix, Twitter, Facebook and even some of the company's proprietary programs do not use the productive core of the Snapdragon 888 processor - Cortex-X1 when opened. It seemed to them that some algorithm was blocking the operation of the applications. This was indicated by the low performance test results of JetStream 2 and Speedometer 2.0. The numbers were at the level of smartphones 11 years ago.

To test your theory,Anandtech programmers created copies of popular programs and ran the test again. The results were the opposite. Two days after the study was published, OnePlus confirmed this and explained what was going on:

“Following the launch of OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in Marchsome owners told us how we could improve the devices' battery life and heat management. As a result, our R&D team worked for a couple of months to optimize device performance when using many popular applications, including Chrome. This helped ensure smooth operation while reducing power consumption. While this may impact device performance in some testing applications, our goal, as always, is to do everything we can to improve the performance of our users' devices."

Whether OnePlus plans to do anything with the algorithm is unknown.
