Smartphone manufacturers want to make the most powerful
device in the market, some successfully do it and some cheat on the benchmark
results to make their devices look powerful. Companies do this to make their
devices look more powerful and better than their competitors’.
Last month Samsung was accused
of faking the benchmark test results but the company denied the allegations. Time
and again when competition in the market increase companies get down to faking
the results to get higher score and ranking on the benchmarking sites. In spite
of multiple complaints companies like HTC, Samsung and LG were found faking the
benchmark results.
To curb the smartphone makers from faking such results, a
benchmark company, called futuremark, has publicly de-listed some devices from
HTC and Samsung and put them to shame. The company has delisted 2 variants of Samsung
Galaxy Note 3 along with 2 versions of Note
10.1. The list of de-listed devices includes 2 from HTC, the HTC one and HTC One mini. Futuremark
has also banned the HTC One and the One Mini from its ranking list as well. What
sounds weird is that the device that are delisted are actually some of the most
powerful and best selling smartphones and that tweaking with the benchmark
results was not really needed.
Futuremark’s regulations state that the platform must not,
alter, replace or override any parameters or part of the test, nor should it modify
the regular functionality of the platform for the detection of the benchmark.
HTC and Samsung seemingly have gone against the regulations resulting which the
smartphones are de-listed from the website.
