![]() That being said, I can’t personally crucify Huawei for trying to score high on benchmarks. That’s not really a good enough reason to push your smartphones beyond its limits. The big reason why companies like to optimise their smartphones for benchmark is to score higher than the competition. ![]() Apart from issues like overheating, such a level of performance decreases efficiency significantly, making the whole experience impractical for daily usage.Īnother issue with this type of performance optimisation is the motive. However, what’s really the big issue here is that Huawei had tweaked its newer flagships to detect specific benchmarking apps (3DMark in this case) to run the phone at an unrealistic performance level. For example, new age phones can often detect gaming apps and switch to peak performance mode for the best user experience. In this age of AI, it’s not uncommon for smartphones to identify specific type of apps to boost performance. We have already talked about this here but the story in short is that Huawei P20 and a few other top flagships from the company were identifying benchmarking apps to extensively increase their performance with the primary goal of scoring way higher than in a traditional use case scenario. Huawei was recently caught by AnandTech optimising some of their smartphones like Huawei P20 to over perform in a specific benchmarking app, 3DMark. Things like false advertisements, false specs by even established companies are not unheard of, but today let’s talk about something that Huawei was caught doing - benchmark cheating aka benchmark optimisation. We have seen plenty of cases where a company was busted doing something really stupid just to get an edge over its competitor. More often than not, companies have to play dirty in the race to the top.
