Η OnePlus now tries to justify the unjustified and to clarify the landscape because it modifies the CPU (throttling) on the smartphone OnePlus 9 Pro.


ΣAccording to the company, the processing power can often be "excessive" in some Android applications.

«To be more precise, we want to match each application with the most appropriate performance needed", Wrote the OnePlus in a forum post on Monday.

The issue arose last week when the Anandtech noticed that the OnePlus 9 Pro mysteriously reduced her CPU on the Snapdragon 888 for some popular applications, such as Chrome and Twitter. This can cause the phone to malfunction without using the chip's full clock speed and posting lower benchmarks.

Η OnePlus later explained that it was modifying the CPU for popular Android applications to reduce battery drain and overheating following comments from its customers. However, the company never told anyone about it CPU throttling.



As a result, the entire episode raised questions about its lack of transparency OnePlus with consumers.

Η post in the forum of the company fails to explain why CPU throttling was never disclosed to customers. But it goes deeper into its logic OnePlus for the changes, which it claims do not degrade the performance of the phone.

In recent years, the performance of SoCs (system on chip) has reached a point where their power often exceeds that in specific scenarios for many applications, including social media, web browsers, and even some light games.

With this in mind, our team has shifted its focus from delivering simple performance to delivering the performance you expect from our devices while reducing power consumption and heat dissipation. , the company wrote.

Next, the post states that CPU slowdown occurs both at OnePlus 9 Pro as well as in OnePlus 9, which both contain the chip Snapdragon 888. The strong core X1 The processor will run when you open an application or run a heavy game.

But with actions that do not require maximum power, such as reading a webpage or using Twitter and Instagram, it is not necessary for the CPU to run at almost 3GHz to do so smoothly., wrote OnePlus.

The post also reveals which apps have been "optimized" for the Snapdragon 888 chip. They include apps Chrome, Twitter, Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Discord, Microsoft Office and company applications.

«All this optimization is completed only when our test team makes sure that the actual user experience is not adversely affected", Added the publication of the forum.

On Monday, the CEO of the company, Pete Lau, he also repeated why the OnePlus started it CPU throttling.

No, we do not optimize OnePlus phones for benchmarks. We optimize them for real use
, he said to one tweet.



However, the issue at hand did not present a good picture for the company. Such as points out ο Sascha Segan of PCMag, the company could be more transparent from the start by adding a new option for "EXTREME mode vs. Optimized mode»On the phones OnePlus 9, giving consumers the option to turn it on CPU throttling.

It could also provide its own benchmarks that demonstrate the various benefits. But so far, the OnePlus has not done so.
