OnePlus has responded to the criticism with the following statement: While running the GFXBench benchmark, the outer shell of the OnePlus 5 was recorded at 50 degrees C | 122 degrees F, which Serrafero described as "scorching hot for a phone, and is thoroughly uncomfortable to hold." The cheat code boosts the OnePlus 5 multi-core performance by around 5 percent, which doesn't sound much, but as Serrafero points out, "that nudge is enough to propel the device ahead of other Snapdragon 835 devices."Īnother undesirable side-effect of forcing the CPU to run so fast is that it causes the device to heat up to the point where it can become uncomfortable to hold. As a result, every OnePlus 5 review citing benchmark scores as an accolade of the phone's success is misleading both writers and readers, and performance analyses based on synthetic benchmarks are invalidated."
"This is an inexcusable move, because it is ultimately an attempt to mislead not just customers, but taint the work of reviewers and journalists with misleading data that most are not able to vet or verify. "Unfortunately, it is almost certain that every single review of the OnePlus 5 that contains a benchmark is using misleading results, as OnePlus provided reviewers a device that cheats on benchmarks," writes Mario Tomás Serrafero on XDA Developers.

OnePlus 5 review units contains code that allows them to manipulate benchmark tests to achieve performance that the end user will not see while running regular applications, claims the well-respected tech site XDA Developers.
OnePlus has been accused of benchmark cheating - again.
