300 tests later, these phone makers were found to indeed cheat on benchmarks
Recent #Benchmarkgate reports caught manufacturers revving up their phones' performance when they detected popular system testing apps being run. Huawei and its offshoot Honor come to mind in fresh memory, but plenty of other manufacturers have been shown to do the same, including Samsung at one point.
Apple's #batterygate drama, on the other hand, showed it did the opposite - its chipsets are so overboard with power consumption on max performance, that they get throttled artificially because the peak demand can overwhelm an aging battery and shut down the iPhone.
