A recent investigation by CCTV has uncovered a sophisticated, multi-layered system designed to cheat in mobile phone performance tests. This system involves specially prepared "media machines" provided by manufacturers, firmware with built-in detection and optimization programs, and cloud-based remote control for real-time manipulation of performance settings. The aim is to artificially boost CPU performance, screen brightness, and background processes during testing, creating a false impression of superior user experience. This elaborate scheme, which has evolved over time to become more covert, severely damages the credibility of tech reviews and poses significant challenges for regulatory bodies due to the difficulty in obtaining evidence of the manipulation.
