A few users of the Huawei P30 Pro were upset about the phone’s lower score of 238,000 on AnTuTu benchmarking platform and expressed their views on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo. The score is well below the average score of a Snapdragon 855-powered phone.
AnTuTu officially responded to this and revealed that the EMUI 9, the custom version of the Android 9 Pie-based operating system that the phone users, prioritizes the phone’s battery life over the performance.
This means that the performance mode isn’t activated by default and the resultant score gets compromised. The company added that if you manually activate the performance mode from the battery settings, then the benchmarking scores will be different.
Recently, AnTuTu released a list of top performing smartphones for April 2019. The first position is occupied by Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition with an average benchmarking score of 373,715.
