On Tuesday, AnandTech discovered that Huawei’s P20 had been programmed to maximize performance specifically when running 3DMark, a popular benchmarking app. Today, the company behind 3DMark followed up with a statement saying that it had confirmed the findings and would delist the P20, as well as three other Huawei phones with similar behavior, from its benchmark leaderboards. > The delisted phones include the P20, P20 Pro, Nova 3, and Honor Play. Huawei admitted to this behavior in a statement given to Android Authority, saying that its phones are designed to adjust their performance based on the app that’s running.
