But, hours after the launch of OnePlus 5, here comes a report that suggests that they have gone way too far, when it comes to repetition. ![]() OnePlus 5 being the 3T’s successor, had big shoes to fill and since the latter was a huge success, the Chinese manufacturer would have thought of repeating the same. With the device being launched yesterday in the US, people have started reviewing the OnePlus 5 which comes with some of the first in the industry a Snapdragon 835 chipset and obviously, the mid-budget price bracket. Congratulations, you're a cheater.OnePlus 5, without any doubt, was one of the most awaited smartphones of the year and even Samsung Galaxy S8 failed to match its hype. Only believe benchmarks that use lots of meters and wires, with flashing lights, because anything else is just software that someone can hack. Even I can, and there's plenty of people out there way more talented than I am. Before someone says "Yeah, but I use Bechmark xyz9000 Pro and you can't cheat on that one." Yes, you can. Add in a few other tricks like changing a line or two in the build.prop file to inflate the CPU scores, and you're golden. Realize just how easy it was to do this, then imagine what other cheats can be done by reverse engineering the benchmark apps and changing the math used to write the scores. Run it two or three times to get it settled in, then start taking screenshots. We don't care how well the phone works, only how high the numbers are.įire up Quadrant, and run your benchmark. If you can kill system processes, even better. Now use whichever app you decided on (I use System Panel to monitor things, and it includes the dreaded kill-all as an extra function) to kill all your background tasks. This will keep things running at top speed all the time. Who needs to save battery, we want high scores! Fire up SetCPU and crank the CPU clock speed as high as it will go, and choose "performance" as the CPU governor. Next, we want to cancel out any CPU scaling effect. This goes away at reboot, so it's easy to take things back to normal. What that's doing is simple - the I/O portions of all phones are the biggest bottleneck, so we're moving the Quadrant data folder off the physical storage, and into the RAM. Mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /data/data/.standardĮnter it exactly as written. Hook your phone up to your computer, and enter the shell. Let it sit for 5 to 10minutes so all the syncing and scanning gets finished, then run Quadrant (see the "before" side in the image above) so you know the truth. Install all your apps and reboot your phone.
