OnePlus 5 caught cheating on multi-core benchmarks

21 June 2017
The way it cheats is similar but not quite the same as the OnePlus 3 before it.

I guess oneplus 5 doesnt have the reputation just like 3T had before in terms of benchmarks. So if other phones cheat or remove the throttling then their results will be higher

Maybe you should try to talk to others less aggressively and stop being a OnePlus fanboy. We get, the company made good phones and the X is one of the best phones I've used so far, but clearly the 5 lacks many "must-have" things (not saying other phones are perfect) and there definitely BETTER phones out there with waterproofing, SD card slot, higher resolution screens, and unique designs. I hope you understand it's not a matter of branding, instead it's about what's in that block of aluminum.
    Peace.

                AnonD-213493, 21 Jun 2017Lg g6 is much better option .. Better camera, more duarbili... moreStill would go for the oneplus if i had to choose.

                Main reasons being
                - full aluminum unibody
                - front finger print scanner
                - no glass backside.
                - oxygen os

                to be honest i dont care a lot for the camera as long as it can take good pictures when i want it and the one plus already prove that it can.
                also the dac... all nice and all but oneplus also has better and improved audio for headphones and even though I am in the music business (sort of) I don't really care about quality of music from my phone as I 99% of the time am doing something else when I listen to music on my phone.

                the screen is nice and all but takes op to much battery.
                We don't need a 2k screen on a phone as 1080 is just fine and perfect for 5.5 inch.

                Like all the points you try to make for the lg it is just an opinion.
                also like the bezels.
                I don't mind them and probably even prefer them a bit.

                To me oneplus did a great job and to make the price of the device not go even higher they had to cut corners somewhere *cough* water resistant *couch*

                all in all has oneplus create the flagship killer ?
                No certainly not.

                BUT dit they create one of the better phones in that price range ?
                Definitely.

                                    I too avoid brands such as Oneplus, Oppo, Huawei, Meizu etc because it's almost impossible to tell where they've cut costs in the manufacturing process leaving you with a phone that has severe flaws that you're unaware of, quality control checks that don't meet the mark, after sales service that can be an absolute nightmare, etc etc
                                    Also, another thing that may be of interest to you, check out JerryRigEverything 's durability test videos on the LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S8, HTC 10.. Those are some of the most durable phones that he's tested... Also have a look at the LG G5 's durability test and you'll see why the G6 is a big step up.. :)
