Geekbench, a popular benchmarking tool, removed several Samsung devices from its charts due to performance manipulation. Specifically, Samsung was caught using software that throttled performance in thousands of apps—except benchmarking apps like Geekbench. This meant devices appeared faster in benchmarks than in real-world use.
The practice, known as benchmark cheating, triggered backlash. Geekbench responded by delisting affected Galaxy models, including several from the Galaxy S and Note series, to maintain transparency and trust.
Samsung later addressed the issue and rolled out updates to reduce this behavior, but the delisting remains as a stance against unfair practices in device benchmarking.
