This used to happen with bench marks on phones, manufacturers would tweak android so benchmarks ran faster.

I guess that’s kinda how it is for any system that’s trained to do well on benchmarks, it does well but rubbish at everything else.

yes, they turned off all energy economy measures when benchmarking software activity was detected, which completely broke the point of the benchmarks because your phone is useless if it's very fast but the battery lasts one hour
