Oppo is the latest to be caught cheating on phone benchmarks
You can add another big name to the list of phone makers found cheating on benchmarks. UL Benchmarks has delisted Oppo's Find X and F7 phones from its 3DMark charts after testing from itself and Tech2 revealed that both devices were artificially ramping up processor performance when they detected the test by name. Oppo acknowledged that it always stepped things up when it detected "games or 3D Benchmarks that required high performance," but claimed that any app would run full bore if you tapped on the screen every few seconds to signal your actions.
Oppo's all-screen Find X hides a pop-up selfie camera
Almost every phone manufacturer is trying to develop a handset with a truly edge-to-edge display. Most end up with a small notch, but others are finding new and unusual ways to hide the front-facing camera. Oppo, for instance, has packed a tiny motorized mechanism into its brand new Find X flagship. At a glance, it looks like a regular phone with a 6.4-inch, 1080p display -- but as soon as you launch the camera app, the top section slides up to reveal a 25-megapixel selfie shooter and a dual-camera system on the back. Close the application and the cameras will automatically disappear again.
