UL Benchmarks removes multiple devices with MediaTek SOCs from its rankings

A week ago we reported that MediaTek faked benchmark results on several phones, such as Redmi Note 8.

As a test, Anandtech installed the public version of PCMark for Android on an Oppo Reno3 with a MediaTek Helio P95 and then the private version of the same application. Thanks to this test, the results were found to be much higher in the public version than in the private one. This showed that the processor detected the application and then worked at maximum speed, which is prohibited by PCMark.

MediaTek defensively stated that “the manufacturers themselves can disable this feature at any time, and even companies like Qualcomm do this.”

This prompted the company behind PCMark, the UL benchmarks, to remove fifty devices from various manufacturers with MediaTek SOCs from its ranking.

Among the remote devices were devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro, Realme 6 and other models.
