Manufacturers of Android-smartphone "cheat" benchmarks

Race performance with each generation smartphones are increasingly gaining momentum. This is especially funny, considering that all this power has long exceeded the required level for the normal operation of most OSes and games. Flagship smartphones grow upwards and outwards - it begins to seem that the manufacturers and are happy to stay, but the excitement is in full swing. So for what are these incredibly powerful processors? Well, of course, for the synthetic benchmarks. Since the war, all methods are good, the producers decided to cheat and benchmarks, so - users.

Chief swindler, who would have thought, was the company Samsung. Representatives of the portal Arstechnica decided to test the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and came to a rather interesting conclusions. Gadget results were higher than the LG G2, which has also recently entered the market. Both devices boast Qualcomm Snapdragon processors 800, and therefore, the results should be identical.

Such a mishap has befallen earlier this year, but then there was a scandal hero Samsung Galaxy S4. The whole point is in a special CPU mode, which pumps the performance and energy consumption during the popular tests. But the trick was calculated, and changing the version of one of the benchmarks were able to see real results. It is not hard to guess that they were significantly lower than those stated.

But it turned out, Samsung is not alone in his "deception." For example, HTC One and One mini smartphones also accelerated to dizzying heights, seeing the famous tests. I think this trick is used in all of HTC devices, but in the tests involved only recently vyshedshiesmartfony.

As for the growth in results, it all depends on the benchmark, but sometimes they have achieved significant 10%. It is worth noting, "honesty" of the smartphone Motorola, Nexus line and NVidia Shield game console. They have been tested with dignity AnandTech. But other corporations keep silent, probably hoping that history will forget the matter "zamnut".
