![]() ![]() ![]() We tested the OnePlus 11 5G on T-Mobile's 5G network in areas that use the older frequency bands as well as TMo's newer "Ultra Capacity" network. OnePlus did, and while it won't do you much good now, you're all set for the future. This new wireless standard is supported by the latest Snapdragon chips, but not all devices will implement it. Still, you're almost as likely to find Wi-Fi 7 as mmWave, but unlike mmWave, Wi-Fi 7 will eventually proliferate around the world. This new standard can theoretically support speeds as high as 40Gbps, but it's only available in a handful of routers. If you're missing mmWave, maybe the inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 will make you feel better. Again, OnePlus wanted to keep this phone's pricing competitive, and mmWave is an unnecessary add-on even in 2023. With mmWave, you can get multi-gigabit speeds, but the signals only travel a short distance, and the antennas add to the cost. There's no millimeter wave (mmWave) support, however, which isn't a major concern in our opinion. OnePlus is doing the legwork so you can get sub6 5G no matter your choice of carrier. Unfortunately, there are too many unlocked phones in 2023 that won't work on one or more of the new 5G networks rolling out across the country, even though the hardware supports the necessary bands. OnePlus has not yet commented on the issue so far, so we’ll have to wait if they have anything to say about it.We applaud OnePlus' decision to get its newest phone certified for 5G on all major US carriers. Companies were found to manipulate their benchmark scores in the past, hoping that more customers would pick them up as a result. This is certainly interesting, but not something totally new. Ultimately, it is very similar, but it’s not the same cheating mechanism. Instead of completely ignoring the thermal limitations, OxygenOS is running at full speed during benchmarks, while other apps are getting less power. The current hack isn’t the same as the normal ones that we’ve got used to. 22 hours later, the latest OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro were delisted, however Geekbench hasn’t mentioned whether other OnePlus handsets were found to manipulate such behaviour. ![]() If they do, we will delist them from the Android Benchmark chart.“ said in a separate tweet. īefore the devices were delisted, Geekbench had commented the following “We will also test the other OnePlus handsets in our performance lab to see if these handsets also manipulate performance in the same way. We've delisted the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android Benchmark chart. We view this as a form of benchmark manipulation. It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on application identifiers rather than application behavior. After the investigation was published, Geekbench has responded to it on Twitter with this post: The investigation was carried out by AnandTech, and it can be read in full on this link. However, this behaviour does not seem to affect any benchmarking app, which is why Geekbench has called it cheating, and therefore decided to delist it from its application. OxygenOS analyzes the apps individually and it will limit the performance of the handset for what we can assume is to extend the battery life. OnePlus was found to do some very interesting optimizations to its OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro devices, especially when it comes to various apps. As it stands right now, it’s unclear whether OnePlus is planning on improving or adjusting this feature. The statement confirms that this behaviour is intended indeed as it’s aimed at improving the battery life. While this may impact the devices’ performance in some benchmarking apps, our focus as always is to do what we can to improve the performance of the device for our users.” This has helped to provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption. As a result of this feedback, our R&D team has been working over the past few months to optimize the devices’ performance when using many of the most popular apps, including Chrome, by matching the app’s processor requirements with the most appropriate power. Following the launch of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro in March, some users told us about some areas where we could improve the devices’ battery life and heat management. “Our top priority is always delivering a great user experience with our products, based in part on acting quickly on important user feedback. Update: Here’s the official statement from OnePlus that was shared by XDA-Developers. ![]()
