Alleged OnePlus 5T benchmark nets one of the highest Snapdragon 835 scores

I don't believe you. OP5 is a great smartphone that performs so well, even better than Pixel 2 xl (speed tests have proven that). Jelly effect is nothing compared to it's awesome price and customizable UI.

Performance includes more that speed E.g. smoothness where the Pixels are King The Jelly effect also makes the OP5 less smooth

You know what? The jelly effect doesn't have to bother people unless they are too curious and start scrolling up and down quick just to see the effect. I mean, who in the world scroll up-down through the screen quick and continuous? Jobless people. It is not noticeable if you scroll it slowly as if to read something. No one will notice it's there.

Depends on the person I found it noticable scolling down at my "regular" scrolling speed I suppose if I used it more everyday I might eventually get used to it

OP5 won in many YT speedtest

Most Android phone manufacturers have long since stopped benchmark cheating, some never did it to begin with. Apple was no stranger to benchmark cheating with their computers in the past either. They got caught several times. Bit of a pot meets kettle.

Please cite one example of Apple cheating on their benchmarks. Apple is one of the few companies that have taken the high road here and doesn't participate in that nonsense.

Power Mac G5 was a confirmed case back in the day.

I think Apple always cheats too Wheres they superior perfomance of a11 over android's flagships

Apple has never cheated with any iphones. Don't make baseless accusations.

Let's get one thing straight. Did samsung overclock beyond what their hardware was supposed to run at? FYI some of samsung's own apps did the same when running on their phones where they max out the clock speed to run smoother. Also link to the article where samsung was the first one caught with this "cheating" in benchmarks. i seem to recall few OEMs getting caught well before Samsung

They don't actually overclock. All phones have thermal limitations. When the device starts to get too hot, they throttle down the CPU to lower speeds. However, some of the Android OEMs have written code to specifically look for benchmarks applications running and if they are detected, the phone will bypass the normal throttling that will occur. OnePlus 5 argues that they do this to show the true "potential" of their phone. The problem with their line of reasoning is that this is not representative of performance of third party applications as they will be throttled when the phone gets hot.

At least OnePlus is honest to admit to it unlike Samsung who originally repeatedly denied any cheating on benchmarks. But after many detailed investigations, Samsung could no longer lie.https://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/10/03/samsung-denies-cheating-in-benchmarks/

Even Samsung down clocked their SD in the note 8 and it still runs like a champ. Don't mind the haters

Samsung was the first one to get caught for cheating but it's possible there might be others cheating before them. However, Anandtech did an investigation into the issue in 2013 after the Samsung cheating exposure and found nearly all Android companies cheat to some extent with the exception of Google and Nvidia. They found Samsung cheated the most by far.

"Genuine" high scores. Ha! Apple has been caught cheating in the past. Android OEMs have stopped cheating and they did a while ago. That's why Apple always has better scores on benchmarks, yet Android phones come out on top in real-world stuff. Apple just hasn't been caught because they're probably paying off the government and companies who run the benchmarks. The US economy relies too much on Apple and so they'll never shut it down.

These days, besides Apple, all companies do the same data collection. Your computer browser along with any spyware you've accumulated from the web collect far more data than your phones though.

Apple also collects and shares data with third parties from your usage of their products, but like with Google and most other companies, it's anonymized.

"besides Apple" you really believe that? lol
