OnePlus continues to justify artificially throttling the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, saying that the Snapdragon 888 SoC is just too powerful.

They’re now continuing that rhetoric in a longer post regarding the issue on their forums. Evan from OnePlus writes that because smartphone SoCs have gotten so powerful, they’ve decided to nerf it to increase battery life and reduce the heat produced.

“In recent years, the performance of smartphone SoCs has reached a point where their power is often overkill in certain scenarios for many apps including social media, browsers and even some light gaming. With this in mind, our team has shifted its attention from simply providing sheer performance to providing the performance you expect from our devices while reducing power consumption and heat dissipation. To be more precise, we want to match each app with the most appropriate performance it needs,” – Evan, OnePlus staff member

Evan then continues to address the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro specifically, stating that when you open apps or games, the Snapdragon 888’s high performance Cortex-X1 core kicks in to provide the best experience. However, for stuff like scrolling Twitter or reading a webpage, he claims its not necessary for the CPU to kick into overdrive like that.

The problem that we see with this though is that they’ve essentially gone against their own marketing for the smartphones here. If you head over to the OnePlus 9 Pro product page, you’ll find a section dedicated to the Snapdragon 888 SoC’s ‘ultimate performance’ and how it’s able to give users ‘unprecedented power’. It’s a shame then that OnePlus decided to gimp their own smartphones with what is basically a system-wide battery-saver mode that you can’t turn off.
