Unlike standard testing optimizations, the phones have been modified to automatically switch their processors into overdrive mode anytime widely-used benchmarks are detected. The publication notes the rigged processing performance can be observed when monitoring the differences in CPU activity between running regular apps and benchmark apps. But both OnePlus and Meizu have…
