The rest of the time, I’m either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. Ricci Rox – Senior Tech Writer – 2475 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2017 The verdict is clear: Google’s new Pixel 7 phones are not ideal for gaming. Unlike chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that saw sudden drops in performance due to throttling, the Google Pixel 7 Pro and its Tensor G2 just, well, appear to be poor at gaming in all conditions, with frame rates dropping from 59 FPS to around 40 FPS just 30 seconds into the test. The flagship still appears to offer worse efficiency numbers than its peers. The Google Pixel 7 Pro doesn’t make up for that disappointing performance with great efficiency. The Tensor G2 is quite evidently the worst-performing premium SoC of this generation in terms of gaming performance. Comparatively, the iPhone 14 Pro Max averages 58.4 FPS, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra 57.7 FPS, and the Dimensity 9000-powered Redmi K50 Pro 52.9 FPS. The Google flagship achieves an average frame rate of 37.2 FPS. The Pixel 7 Pro has now been put through a Genshin Impact gaming test, with the flagship only managing to make a horrid account of itself.Īs tested by Golden Reviewer, the Pixel 7 Pro fails to match up to even 2021 flagships with the Snapdragon 888 and also somehow manages to be worse than the Poco F3 with its Snapdragon 870. The code in the smartphone was designed to manipulate the benchmarking scores on Geekbench, Antutu, GFXBench and others.While Google’s latest smartphones, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may boast incredibly impressive cameras, the phones appear to lack in some other aspects-most notably performance. This misleads customers by offering false data in the reviews. The company did this to infalt the benchmark scores. In 2017, the company was accused of hardcoding the OnePlus 5 review units. However instead of increasing the benchmark performance, the company is reducing real-world application performance to below that of the theoretical hardware capabilities." OnePlus was accused in the past This is not the first time that OnePlus has been accused of something like this. AnandTech added, "App detection is used by companies to make smartphones appear more powerful on benchmarking websites. The company applied performance throttling by using a blacklist method. While this may impact the devices’ performance in some benchmarking apps, our focus as always is to do what we can to improve the performance of the device for our users." How did the issue came to light AnandTech, during its testing, noticed that the OxygenOS on the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 doesn't allow popular apps including its own system apps to use the 'prime' core in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. This has helped to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption. As a result of this feedback, our R&D team has been working over the past few months to optimize the devices’ performance when using many of the most popular apps, including Chrome, by matching the app’s processor requirements with the most appropriate power. Following the launch of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in March, some users told us about some areas where we could improve the devices’ battery life and heat management. Here's the complete statement from OnePlus: "Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. The company also mentioned that with throttling the apps the company wanted to improve the overall performance of the smartphones. The company also mentioned that with this practise it was also able to control the heat issues of the devices. ![]() In the statement the company said that it optimised certain apps to save the battery life of the smartphones. OnePlus' response on the issue After acknowledging the issue, the company released an official statement. The company has accepted that it did optimise the apps to save the battery life of smartphones. As reported by AnandTech, the OnePlus 9 Pro's software was using an application detection mechanism which intentionally kept running popular apps like Google Chrome, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook and others in processor's slower cores. NEW DELHI: Smartphone maker OnePlus was recently accused of manipulating benchmarking scores by optimising the performance of various popular apps OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro.
