OPPO F7 caught cheating on Benchmark

Based on the latest updates, a Vietnamese blogger took the time to analyse Oppo F7’s benchmark results and figure out something vague. In details, Oppo once again was caught cheating in benchmarks since its last situation with the Oppo F3 last year. This is not the first case that smartphone brands try to boost their product scores. Previously, the giant Samsung and even OnePlus also did the same action (no more found cases since OnePlus 5T).

Back to the case of OPPO F7, the Helio P60 processor scored much higher on AnTuTu than it should according to the blogger. In details, the Helio P60 received testing compared to the other almost-same SoC including Snapdragon 660 (Mi 6X) and Snapdragon 636 (Redmi Note 5 Pro). To be fair, the Helio P60 provides high performance but not that much, compared to the other two chipsets.

All of the three SoC above comes with the same structure of four cores A53 and four cores A73. Therefore, the blogger tested again with com.AnTuTu.ABenchMark, a newly created empty Benchmark app. When processing under this app, the F7’s cores boosted up to 2.0GHz ignoring all thermal thresholds. Whereas, the author also explains that the Helio P60 would run all of eight cores to process at the maximum scores once being run on any Benchmark app. Meanwhile, OPPO assumed that the integrated AI technology is one of the reason. Thus, all of the F7’s activities work on both CPU eight cores and dual-AI-cores, which improves 80% performance. Also, the OPPO F7 gets four big cores and four small ones, compared to the other two SoC’s eight small cores of the total. Learn more about OPPO F7 specs here.

OPPO F7 release date and price

As expected, OPPO F7 has been available for sale since March 26, 2018. Besides, OPPO F7 price is $399 ~ Rs. 25, 990. Since the action of boosting F7’s performance is unnecessary, we hope that the brand would make some efforts to take it over.
