Earlier, some foreign evaluation agencies found that some Chinese brands' mobile phones secretly increased the performance of CPUs and GPUs when running mobile phone test software, so that the mobile phone scores were higher, even a domestic brand mobile phone was cheated in the 3DMark test. 3Dmark delisting. To this end, this foreign evaluation agency conducted an interesting test on some Android phones. The 3Dmark downloaded from Google Play was compared with the 3Dmark after the modified name. It was found that some domestic mobile phone brands were cheating. behavior.
In view of this, we also do a similar test, after all, the domestic flagship mobile phone running points are very powerful, we choose Meizu 16th, Nubian Z18, one plus 6, Xiaomi 8 and vivo NEX as test objects, these Are there any cheating on mobile phones? Are these phones optimized? Of course, we not only use 3Dmark in foreign media reports for testing, we also use PCMark and GeekBench4 for testing.
How to change the name of the app?
We tested the official version of the app, then used the dedicated software to decompile the app's installation package, changed the name of the app to another name, then re-packed and signed it, and then installed it on the test phone. Renaming and repacking can basically be installed and run normally.
Why not test Ann Bunny?
In fact, we would like to use the popular test software of Ann Bunny to test, but found that although the rabbit rabbit can be installed normally after the name change, it can not run normally after the installation is completed. It is estimated that Ann Bunny has added some security mechanisms to prevent the APP from being modified. In addition, we also carried out a similar renaming operation for Master Lu, but after the name was changed, Master Lu could not be repackaged.
How to test?
We first run the original test software, run 3 times to get the good results, and then use the renamed test software to run 3 times, take the best results, and then compare the data.
3Dmark test
First of all, the 3DMark test was carried out. This test software used by foreign evaluation agencies earlier, we can see that the five mobile phones tested did not have the cheating phenomenon reported by foreign media. The test scores of the original software and the renamed software are basically The same, the error of the score is also in a reasonable range.
GeekBench4
When using the GeekBench test, there were some cases in the Nubian Z18. This phone could not be installed with GeekBench. GeekBench, which was originally renamed after it was renamed, could not be installed even by GeekBench downloaded from the Nubian App Store. What is the reason? Exquisite. In GeekBench's test, you can see that everyone is still very honest. There is no big score gap before and after the name change.
PCmark
PCmark's test is mainly the comprehensive performance of the test system. It can be seen that the scores of the six mobile phones tested before and after the name change have not changed much. It is basically confirmed that there is no cheating. In addition, it can be seen that although 6 sets are available, The mobile phone uses the Snapdragon 845 processor, but the difference between the highest score and the lowest score is 2000 points, indicating that the PCmark test is not only the performance of the CPU, but the system optimization will respond to the test results.
Summary: Everyone is very honest
Test software cheating these phenomena is not a day or two. In the PC era, there has been such a phenomenon. Before the mobile phone, there was also a problem that the Bunny test cheated, and the test software was upgraded by cheating. To give consumers a high-performance illusion, this trend is extremely bad. We tested the six mainstream 845 flagship phones on the market through this test, there is no cheating situation, everyone is quite honest, of course, there is no rabbit in the rabbit Cheating in rabbits, this can't be tested, it's not easy to say. Running points is just a means to digitize the performance of mobile phones. It is a method of objectively digitizing subjective experiences. Running points do not represent all the real performance experiences of mobile phones. The experience is not data. As long as you are honestly doing mobile phones, you will run a minute, so these running software still has a good reference value.
